Wayfarer App Access Restriction

Feature Requests
1

One of last Wayfarer App updates added possibility to “edit wayspot” everywhere, no matter how far we are. This is a very big mistake that everyone can do it and it affects Niantic games.
It was already used by polish player (66FBI-PGO, XeZaR66 - ING) to edit 2 wayspots and moved to incorrect location just to literally change them from gyms to pokestops. I know it’s him because he write to me about that.

I believe that to be able to use this application, you needed the same access requirements as for the wayfarer website.
Until then, I propose to block the possibility of nominating, editing and reporting wayspots.

Hi Marcin, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I’ll file a request with our engineers to see what they can do to address the malicious use of this tool

Hi Marcin,

Like mentioned in the other ticket that you reported. Thank you so much for writing in with your feedback and concerns. We will be sure to send this over to the Wayfarer Team who have been monitoring all of the nominations and edits made via the Wayfarer App beta. If you’d like to report any abuse, you can do so via Wayfarer Support.

Best,
Anu

Hi can you do anything with user 66FBI, his malicious actions didn’t stop.

Apologies for bumping a thread this old, but I only now stumbled upon it.

I have never used Wayfarer App to edit any wayspot. Mazur user is a notorious liar and abuser known for vandalising Wayfarer and Lightship while falsely accusing others at the same time - that’s why he showed no evidence of my involvement or evidence confirming wayspots were in fact moved to wrong locations.

First of all the Wayfarer app is no more.

I’m not the one who had been perm banned on wayfarer community forum for malicious actions, it was you if you forget.

Also you’re the one “hated” and perm banned (at least your “main accounts”) by something around 99.9% of Ingress / Pokemon GO communities in Poland for what you did and your behavior.

I wasn’t banned for any sort of malicious actions but because of using same account as on another forum. The last sentence doesn’t make much sense, I know, but that’s what I was told by Niantic.

None of my Niantic accounts is banned (Pokemon GO, Ingress, Wayfarer, Campfire, etc.) and my actions and behaviour are perfectly in line with Niantic’s policies and do not violate neither ToS nor Guidelines.

Yours on the other hand do and quite often. I’ll be more than happy to go over some details (if I were to list everything I’d probably hit character limit) as per your another provocation. Just as a mere example, tip of the iceberg of your violations:
image - you are a cheater, who uses multiple in-game accounts. You have received countless strikes for your Wayfarer abuses, first at your main account, then you moved to your alts. Your Wayfarer abuses include but are not limited to:

  • submitting 3rd party photos to new and exisiting wayspots,
  • submitting entirely fake wayspots,
  • misplacing existing wayspots,
  • misplacing new wayspots,
  • slandering players via description edits,
  • submitting mentioned edits through among others Wayfarer app, that you are not supposed to use in the first place,
  • influencing reviewers,
  • participating in several voting rings (including the infamous kashubian one),
  • attempting to remove exisiting eligible wayspots with fake/manipulated evidence,
  • submitting 18+ content to Lightship,
  • manipulating Pokemon GO gameboard (gym creation),
  • submitting vandalisms,
  • creating clusters.
    And those are only few of your Wayfarer abuses. I haven’t even touched upon your ToS and Guidelines violations.

  1. Good to know that you still have access to my discord that you’re banned on main account. That’s a proof that you’re the one having alt account on many platforms…
  2. I have only one account, the another account was my wife but whatever …
  3. You’re not banned on wayfarer? So what is this? Profile - 66FBI - Niantic Wayfarer Community

  4. You know very well that all your accusations are false, and according to Polish law you can be prosecuted for such actions.

  1. Who says I do?
  2. Sharing account with another person is also against guidelines, you’re digging your own grave here.
  3. That’s not Wayfarer, that’s the Wayfarer Forum.
  4. I know very well every single one is true and so do you. I have lots of evidence and many of those can be verified by Niantic - unfortunately as with most cases they remain passive outside of Wayfarer.

  1. You prove by taking that print screen of discord channel.
  2. Having accounts in same game with spouse is not sharing …
  3. Since your actions to remove THOUSANDS of POIs in Poland you failed every time to give true evidence of anything only your speculations.
  4. Oh I forget that Polish OpenStreetMap community banned you too for your malicious edits that you tried to use as “evidence”.

  1. Who says I took it? Moreover, that screenshot was taken over a year ago.
  2. It is when as you admitted you use it yourself.
  3. That’s your opinion, Niantic thinks otherwise, which they confirmed multiple times. Also, it’s in tens of thousands now.
  4. I’ve never had an OSM account, your petty attempt to frame me I consider quite cute.
