Reporting Abuse in Wayfarer is now possible!
If you encounter any nominations or edits while reviewing that you believe are inappropriate or show signs of abuse, report the nomination or edit in question. This form is only open to Wayfinders, so please sign in to your Wayfarer login email in order to submit a report.
What can you report via the form:
- Offensive or abusive title/description edits
- Invalid location edits
- Issues with photos
- Fake nominations
Note: Wayfinders can report an inappropriate nomination during the review process. While reviewing the nomination, select one-star for the “Should this be a Wayspot” question and select the appropriate rejection reason.
What information do Agents need to include in the report:
- Title of the Wayspot
- Location (click the Google icon on the map to open the map in a separate tab and copy the URL)
- Reason for reporting
- Any additional information to explain why this candidate was reported
What action will be taken on the report?
Once Niantic receive the report with the necessary information, they’ll review the reported nomination/edit and other nominations/edits submitted by the submitter. Players submitting invalid nominations/edits may receive a warning, a suspension, or have their Wayfarer account terminated. In case of repeated offenses or where the submitter is not active in Wayfarer, their Ingress account may also be affected.
In cases where the Wayspot was invalid and should not have been approved, Niantic may also investigate the Wayfinders involved in the approval and issue penalties based on the severity of the offense. Wayfinders who submit inappropriate reports via the form linked above may also receive a warning or punishment for repeat offenses.
