The email they send should give an example of the offense. I think it is very common for them to reject all pending nominations when a ban has been issued.

Please check again. Did you use different email in the past? Maybe its in junk email. Without it, we dont know ban reason

Wait a minute, u can still access wayfarer right? That means the ban doesnt come from wayfarer. If you got banned because wayfarer, you wont be able to access wayfarer

How would we define ‘resubmitting portals’? How would we know if we were guilty of it?

Niantic could add a skull-and-crossed-bones icon to the nearby map, tell the name of the removed object, etc., to reduce congestion due to renomination. Individual explorers have no cause, ability or reason to avoid proposing things that they believe may be eligible.

When Niantic is not forthright about their activities they should not hurl abuse charges against those they think may be countering them.

Niantic must provide the tools that allow us to read the situation, see a geofence, see a history of removal, etc.

Otherwise, they will be penalizing the people who are trying to do what Niantic wants done, and placing all explorers in a double bind.

I believe you misunderstood me. This is the abuse:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wayfarer/original/3X/4/d/4df9ff7cb1b11a6b87d9149727cc2fac4cfaa20e.png)  
RE-submitting is not the issue. It is submitting nominations that “blatantly do not match our eligibility or acceptance criterias.”

If Niantic has already removed these once, then clearly they believe that is the case for these. But the issue is submitting, not re-submitting. There does not need to be a warning that these have been removed once. Just follow criteria.

Niantic dont ban u for submitting new nomination nor they ban you after rejected nomination. I believe there is something else.

Just this 2025 alone i have 106 nomination, 22 in queue, 16 in voting, 38 approved, 30 rejected .its safe as long i am not trying abuse like moving the wayspot away from its location or submitting a fake nomination

But without ban email, i can only speculate. My suggestion now :

1. Recheck email
2. Wait niantic team here to confirm ban reason (no time frame)
3. Try to contact support from niantic website
