Additional Information (if any): I nominated this stop while stood in the exact spot it is in. The pin showed up correctly at the time on the map. It was accepted, but for some inexplicable reason, it was moved to the wrong location and it’s now outside someone’s house on the opposite side of the road! I’ve tried using ‘edit location’ while at the stop and moving it to the correct place but it was turned down - no idea why! So I tried again but used ‘report issue with pokestop’ I explained the problem and told them that if they look at the map they can see it’s not in the correct place - why would the hotel entrance sign be in a completely different road to the hotel?! but they just declined it! Don’t people actually check these things when reviewing? If they looked at the map they could see clearly for themselves it’s in the wrong location.
Does that involve using the help chat? I get on much better with a simple Report from the map, but that is only for reporting removals not location edits. I struggle with bots.
What would be nice and easy is the ability to report location edits from the map.
I imagine that Scopely Explore won’t make this available anytime soon, as they are already overwhelmed with all the reports they are getting, of which I am guessing a lot are removal reports from the map.
I didn’t know how to give the exact co ordinates so I went online and it just gave me the ones for where I was stood when I posted on the forum. If you look at the map you can see the hotel next to the co ords I gave and across the road is where they’ve placed the hotel entrance stop. It’s definitely not been moved to the correct place as I can see them all from my house
Here are 2 screenshots I just took. I’ve circled in yellow where the stop has been placed, and drawn a yellow dot where the actual stop is supposed to be.
Yes that’s exactly where the sign is, but the pokestop has not been placed there. It’s been placed in Acorn Avenue behind the bus stop next to houses. But Niantic refuse every attempt to move it to the actual correct place
It might have been on/near Acorn Avenue, but if so, it was moved (to an equally incorrect location).
Since it shows on the wayfarer map as a pokestop even though it is in an already-occupied cell, this supports the idea that it has been moved (from one wrong location to another wrong location).
Well when I uploaded it I was stood right in front of the sign by the roundabout on the pathway. I have no idea how it ended up in Acorn Avenue! I just don’t understand why they’re refusing to move it to the correct location. It’s a shame you can’t email them with photos to prove what you’re saying.
What do you think I should do? Wait for scopely to see this, submit the pokestop again from scratch, or keep trying to edit it/report it and hope people will actually check the location before saying no?
Wait a few days and see if you get a reaction from this thread. The wayspot might quietly get moved, staff might move it and post here, or it might not get moved.
