the pokestop that i nominated got accepted by niantic but i cant see it on the pokemon go app map. i think its becuase i didnt put the right cordinates on the nomination. i havent got any answer from the chattbot that said the human staff of niantic would answer me. i put the pokestop info below
Pokestop name: Lekplats
Description: Här finns gungor, lekhus, sandlåda och mycket mer.
name of place: Byhemsvägen 10, Torn, SN, Sweden
The correct cordinates for this wayspot should be… 55.777507, 13.228670
There are several issues to address here. Help chat replies in the chat box. If you lose the chat box history you may not see their reply. Even if you can still see the ticket, response has been very slow recently. An announcement has been made about this issue.
First, it is simply not believable that more play equipment would be located this far away from the rest of the play equipment. Pinning Wayspots away from where they really are is abuse.
Second, there should only be one Wayspot per playground, not for separate pieces of equipment, unless there is a clear separation as in this clarification.
I should be clear that I am not staff. Their names will begin with “ScopelyExp” on the forum. I am just pointing out the issues that I see.
Thank you for your answer now i understand a little more of why i didnt get answer from the chattbot.
i see your picture and it dosent look like that when i look at the map. I live in this village and it dosent look like that. almost all the trees are cut down so the edge of what looks like a small forest is where the pokestop should be. i put the cordinate very wrong wich i can see on your picture but im not trying to cheat. Also can you tell me wich map you are using?
Im gonna try to figure ut how to screenshot so i can explain where it should be =)
all the trees thats in satelite mode on google map is covering the whole area of the wayspot. the covered blue part of the picture is where the wayspot should be and i will attempt to send the right one below becuase last time i didnt use satelite mode on the map so i could tell where it should be:
This map is just the mapview map from https://wayfarer.scopely.com/new/mapview with a third party wayfarer tool overlay to show L17 S2 cells. We are not allowed to share links to the third party wayfarer tools. I probably should have turned off the overlay before sharing in this case, since you were not asking why your Wayspot was not being used as a Pokestop.
i know about the cell thing and ofcourse i want it to become a part of the game. i consider that the pokestop should be in the upper celll becuase thats where i took the pictures of the wayspot nomination. this is not me trying to abuse the game just that i want the wayspot to be in the spot that it actually should be.
The best way forward would be to get a picture with the GPS coordinates, as also the view using apple maps suggest it can’t be there, so you will need some additional evidence.
You would need to contact helpchat to move it, but I don’t think it will work, as this playground now has 3 wayspots (typically it should only have one)
In this case, you can only succeed if the playground is large enough to allow it to have multiple wayspots. And GPS proof to verify that they indeed belong in three different cells.
You can post the information here, and link to it in the helpchat, or if you’re lucky and the evidence is clear staff may do this when they read this post (they do read every post at the forum).
They could also decide to remove two wayspots for being duplicates.
I think the Playground should be big enough to have multiple wayspots. And hey i mean if they accept the nomination then they should be also okay with moving the one not showing further away from the other wayspots. If they dont want them to close to eachother i mean.
But when you say contact helpchat you mean the chat bot on the niantic wayfarer help thing right?
Because the bot just say i have a ticket and that the human straff will answer me but they never do and i have tried multiple times.
Absolutely not. Moving a Wayspot away from where the point of interest actually exists is abuse, and people get sanctions on their accounts for trying to do this.
Most wayspots were not accepted by Niantic/Scopely but by the community. And many reviewers will accept multiple wayspots in a playground even though they shouldn’t.
If reported, these wayspots can be removed (we have seen examples here).
I mean they should accept moving the wayspot THATS RIGHT NOW IN THE WRONG SPOT, and love it away from the other wayspots to the position that it actually is.
I don’t think we need to discuss this any further until you get back a reply from staff then. They may require evidence such as geo tagged photos or a video that proves the location, but they will ask for that evidence in the chat window if they need it. Let us know how it goes.
