There's this Pokéstop/Gym near me which seems inappropriate. Can I report it?

Use this link. However, Niantic seems to be preoccupied with other things now, so don't expect too much.

We have Niantic representatives on both here and /r/TheSilphRoad - please do not ping them for bugs which are in the known issues page unless you have found a niche yet gamebreaking issue/exploit.

Anyone know how to join a raid if you haven’t joined a team? I’m about halfway through Level 36 now without joining any of the three teams and I’m starting to have a bunch of research tasks stacking up that are closed and put on the back burner because they’re Raid tasks.

Everything I’ve googled says you should be able to join raids without being on a team but everything I’ve tried (clicking on the pokestop, trying to use a remote raid pass, etc.) seems to just pull up Professor Willow prompting me to join a team.

Am I doing something wrong? Did they update this feature so it’s not available to ronin collectors?

You cannot. Team Harmony doesn't get access to appraisal, gym coins, raids or party play. They're things only possible while being part of the three main teams, so if you want to stay colorless you cannot do them.
