Re: Removing POI on "restricted property"?
It's funny, these types of portals are what destroys the game. But Niantic don't care.
Re: Israel - Palestine.
Let's also remember the Irish genocide and ban Britain from playing the game, or no, let's also repay Germany for the Second World War! And let's take revenge on the US for the war in Vietnam! Hehehe, you can ban the whole world this way.
Re: What’s the point in playing when…
We all support the game we love in the way that works for us. I wish there was a CORE Level 2 we could subscribe to that didn't count certain items in inventory. Not an inventory increase but all Boost items do not count towards the 2,500 limit.
Re: What’s the point in playing when…
@IcyBlueHeart I would TOTALLY pay for that just so I don't have over a hundred Apex boosts clogging my inventory with no way to recycle them. I'd also be inclined to buy more boosts even if I didn't particularly need them simply because there wouldn't be a playability penalty for doing so.
Re: Have the purchased medal removed
only on very rare occasions has an earned medal been removed by request (e.g. NL1331 from the April Fool's event during COVID)
Which was also only because Niantic miscommunicated how you could get (and in turn, avoid) the medal tick. People that didn't want it made an action they thought was "safe" and still got the tick and made enough of a stink to get Niantic to remove it again.
Re: Removing POI on "restricted property"?
You can always get creative in ways to access the property:
Attend open houses for condos in the complex or request showings for "For Sale" listings in the complex. Condo complexes often will have a flood of these going on at any given time.
Create an account for Uber Eats, Doordash, etc. and only take calls for that specific complex. Bonus, if you want to play ingress in certain towns, you could also take orders that lead you towards your objective for the day and expense your mileage/gas for playing the game in between deliveries.
Visit bars/coffee shops local to the complex. You will likely find someone who lives there and can befriend them into the game. Visit anytime you like, or get the person in the complex on your team to **** off their neighbor for added hilarity.
If there are on-prem guards, ask them if you could take a tour around the location. I actually used to stop at a local university and ask guards if I could do a lap around campus in my car to play Pokemon Go. As long as you're respectful, state your intent, and explain what you're trying to do, many of them will have no problems letting you pass. ESPECIALLY if you tell them there's a guy who gets all pissy about people attacking the portal. They put up with so much from complex residents, they would love an outlet to get one back at them.
Social engineering works!
Now, if you actually want to appeal this decision, you'll need to create a thread over at the Wayfarer forums. You generally have to provide proof the property is indeed private. Most cities have public GIS information databases which state the boundaries of a property, who owns the property, and the zoning regulations. These are admissable as evidence in Wayfarer reports. If the streets are technically public streets, you're likely out of luck. If they're privately owned, might help your case. Depends on how the GIS shows things.

Re: Removing POI on "restricted property"?
Update: Here is the location in question:
@LordDojang get a buddy with a boat/kayak... Really? Can't get that down?
XMP8 have a range of 170 meters... Both of these are less than 30 meters off public access water.
Re: Removing POI on "restricted property"?
There's a bunch of locations none of that will work for.
Like mine sites and military bases. Military bases in AU it's actually forbidden to take non authorised photos so the portals should not be there in the first place.
Mine sites- unless an employee or contractor AND taken site induction training, no way in hell you are getting in.
Re: What’s the point in playing when…
I have the same approach with Joe
For every time he screams no free labor, I scan 3 times
Re: What’s the point in playing when…
Good on them, I guess.
Every time GreenVam tells us to boycott I buy more CMU.
