Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information): (Note: This is not a nomination rejection appeal, but a Gym demotion appeal caused by location edit abuse. I have attached the previous location correction/support tickets instead.)

Additional Information (if any):

1. Incident Overview

  • Target Gym (Abuse Victim): 우미린 110동 운동기구 (Actual: 37.206503, 127.002494) → Falsely moved to 37.206522, 127.002419 by abusers, which forced its demotion from a Gym to a Pokéstop.

  • Exploited Gym: 해담공원 마지막 운동기구 (37.205641, 127.005216) → Unfairly promoted to a Gym by taking advantage of the vacant S2 cell slot.

  • Suspected Abusers: ****Mod Edit to remove IGN. There is no naming of others on this forum.

2. Detailed Context

  • Local abusers submitted false location edits for “우미린 110동 운동기구” to trigger its Gym demotion and intentionally created a vacant Gym slot in the S2 cell to promote their preferred POI (“해담공원 마지막 운동기구”).

  • Although the coordinates for “우미린 110동 운동기구” have been restored to the actual location (37.206503, 127.002494), its Gym status was not restored and remains a Pokéstop.

  • In-game support keeps sending automated responses regarding property owner consent, which is completely irrelevant as both POIs are located in public residential amenities and community parks.

  2. Demote Exploited Gym: Revert “해담공원 마지막 운동기구” back to a Pokéstop.
