In the previous months, Niantic has decided to remove dangerous or inappropriate Pokestops from the game through "reporting" tool that enabled both players and non-players to report the location for possible removal. This action has resulted to another tragedy - the missing Pokestops presumably removed for no reasons at all.

Pokemon GO players took to social media their frustration on the alleged removal of Pokestops and Gyms for no reasons at all. As reported by Forbes, just recently, the Governor of South Carolina Nikki Haley who posted series of tweets expressed her frustrations over the removal of Pokestops in the State Capital building. Another one is a college student who allegedly reported all the Pokestops in a rival school and got them all removed.

It's worth mentioning that since the game was launched in different parts of the world, many issued have been noted such unstable servers, app is freezing and bugs that usually caused glitches in the game. These incidents of reporting Pokestops without further validating the extent of the report send the players into deep trouble. However, there is a recommended fix or solution for the problem.

According to the website Heavy, a player can actually request a new gym or Pokestop to be added in a specific location or business through submission of requests for Pokestops and new gyms location. It can be done through the official support page and then click the "How do I create a new PokeStop or Gym?" link. From there the player can file a request for new location including an image or picture of the area, exact name of the Pokestop, the address and they type of location. Since the page was flooded with lots of submissions, unfortunately the page has taken down according to Gamestop.  As a result, players resorted to sending out help requests to Niantic Labs through twitter but there are no updates whether the requested Pokestops have been added.

For players not totally lose hope, Niantic announced that they will add sponsored locations to Pokemon Go through Ingress. According to Chief Executive John Hanke, "There is a second component to our business model at Niantic, which is the concept of sponsored locations."
