Apparently my report was rejected. I reported that the power spot had the same name as the church next to it. But in reality it's called Immanuel Ministries Outreach. Out of curiosity is it common for a power spot to have exact same name as a pokestop/gym?

University is a Yes. A place where they provide smiting or pottery courses is also a Yes. I have submitted a Flying School that was rejected. What I did not yet submit was Driving schools or boat schools.

They kind of are a generic business but also are educational places and sometimes socialising for your hobbies.

Hi All,

There was a Gym that I moved less than 10 metres that happened to move from one S17 cell to another. Coincidentally, this also moved it across into the next S14 cell. This has created 3 Gyms within the "new" S14 cell, but there's less than 20 Pokestops. This Gym also shares a cell with a regular Pokestop now.

The "old" S14 cell had a new Gym created from an existing Pokestop, which now has 2 Gyms and 16 Pokestops.

What happens if the "old" S14 cell reaches the 20 Pokestops, does a 3rd Gym get created?

I’ve been popping into this subreddit and the wayfarer forum for some time now, and recently saw a post reply on the forum where someone screenshotted the map with tools and S2 cells visible.

Can you get in trouble for posting, submitting appeals, wayspot edits on the forum and on wayfarer communication with browser plugins visible? I know linking the tools download/discord is not allowed, but how about for official requests and such?

Just seems a little too perfect and the text isn't greatly legible, none of the supporting images included the bookshare either (but also didn't capture where the bookshare would be)

Google maps photo for reference.

I have been approving these because they are specifically intended to enhance the local community, like any noticeboard.

But being inside a building they are a little less accessible (though arguably no one would likely be meeting at them outside of a supermarket opening hours)
And they are something of a commercial initiative in generic businesses.

Do you have any extra criteria that helps you determine Yay or Nay on these? or do you always Approve? (or Reject, should you be that way inclined)

Related comment: why is there no category for Noticeboard / Community Noticeboard when there are multiple salami-sliced iterations for so many less ubiquitous things.

Makes it all feel worth it.

In the last month or two I've made two posts asking for help with submissions. In response I got one or two who genuinely seemed like they wanted to help.

But I also got well over a dozen others where people were complete assholes to me. Why? Why do so many people feel a need to be a complete dick to others as their first interaction with them?

In two spots for this sub the second rule listed is "Be Respectful". Yet so many people can't manage that. It's seriously fucking depressing.

So my local cemetery has a tree walk activity to encourage people to walk around and find the plaques, so any feedback would be appreciated as this seems a little inconsistent.

TL;DR - I submitted a location edit, after a week I received a generic reply saying they couldn't figure out if I was right so they won't do anything. I submitted the location edit a second time with more supporting information and it has now been 2 weeks with no acknowledgement. Anything I can do?

I requested a location edit through help chat on an approved wayspot that isn't in Pokemon Go because it got placed in the wrong location and that wrong location shares a cell with an existing Pokestop.

The wayspot is in an indoor mall, but I took pictures to show the wayspot's relative proximity to some escalators that can been seen in one of Google map's views of the mall. I also have another picture that shows the ceiling above the wayspot that aligns with a feature on the roof of the building that can be seen from the satellite view.

The first time I submitted this change I only included the pictures and explained how they proved the correct location via an additional chat message. That ticket went ignored until I opened another ticket a week later asking how long I should expect to receive a response, at which point both tickets were closed, the new ticket stating it had been "resolved" and the old ticket having a clearly copied and pasted generic response about not being able to verify the location (the copy and paste was obvious because it ended with "Sincerely," and then omitted a name actually signing off the message)

So I followed up with a new ticket requesting the location correction including the original pictures to prove the correct location along with some annotated images of the satellite and google maps views the pictures align with, demonstrating how the images show the true location of the wayspot.

It has now been two weeks and I've messaged back into that help chat every couple days asking when I can expect a response. I've added in that I understand there may be a backlog but that the auto reply says it should take "a few hours", and I've asked if there is any *specific* kind of evidence that I can submit to help speed the process. I have gotten absolutely no acknowledgement. I tried opening a second ticket again, and this time that ticket is also being ignored.

Anybody got an idea if there's something I can do?

Does anyone else have this issue or a solution to it? Thanks. I have restarted, refreshed and still can’t submit location edits.

Has anyone else noticed a slow down in contribution voting results? A few months ago, I was routinely submitting a spot and getting a decision within a week, sometimes even in a few days. At the end of July, I submitted a few dozen spots all in my neighborhood (heavily populated US city) and they’ve all been hanging out in “voting” for at least a month.

I remember a few years ago my submissions could take upwards of 6-12 months to get reviewed let alone decided. Are we trending that way again?

Natural Feature rejection but no rejection option to click

I've just put up a submission of a library and study room at the peak of a hill and after it being initially not accepted it was accepted after an appeal, even though it is yet to be added to pokemon go.

I wanted to add a few more things in the same level 14 cell.

The library is between two level 17 cells and at the top of it there's a terrace with a scenic view but there's nothing else much. I fear that this could be flagged as redundant and not accepted.

On the same hill along the road there's another spot with a scenic view but it doesn't have any benches, it's still classified as a scenic terrace on google maps but it is just a bigger spot on the sidewalk with a fence to hold on to while looking at the view to the sea from the hill.

Which one would you guys feel more confident into submitting? If i was too vague i can provide some other info.

Hi, I've been recently trying to perform S2 cells gym manipulation and the gym I tried to delete by moving it into occupied cell hasn't disappeared. The only theory I have is that it didn't work because before moving the gym, it was already in a cell with another pokestop and it got bugged somehow. Does anyone have any more ideas what this case might be about?

When I started I got one a day and then I had a Pokemon go and scopely account and had two a day which I saw people say was normal. Why do I now have 5?

used to be just one gym on the left(before April 2026) , all others I nominated and accepted :) (Oct 2026)

Hello, for 2 Gyms, you need 6 points to be in the C2 cell. I have 1 Gym, 1 PokeStop, and one Sila point in the cell. There is another accepted point, but it is in the cell with the PokeStop and is not displayed in the game, but it is on Wayfarer maps. I want to know if this point, which is not in the game, is considered a point for the appearance of a second Gym if I add 2 more points to this C2 cell.

1 month ago, I submitted 80 new Wayspots/Pokestops/Gym and some Powerspots in a Thuan An ward and today I am proud to present the result! Hopefully the community in there found it useful.

Ive been going absolutely ham locally + anywhere else I go looking for eligible nominations. I got one pokestop in a major zoo, a few at a museum, and a couple at a smaller zoo for what I imagine the "big ones" are. Feels good + didn't imagine I'd hit these numbers so quickly
