By the Way ...
I noticed something interesting on site, which strongly suggests that it wasn't his only attempt to get a fake wayspot in front of his house:
There is a real playground in front of his house, which, unlike his fake, also exists in Pokémon Go.
Oddly enough, this playground has 5 photos, some of which belong to a completely different playground. I suspect he took photos of the other playground - submitted it several times directly in front of his house - and the attempts all ended up as a duplicate of the playground in front of his house.
Playground in front of the house: 53.699335,12.897039
Playground nearby: 53.699644,12.895574
Please remove the photos of the playground at the coordinates "53.699644,12.895574" from the wayspot at the coordinates "53.699335,12.897039". These are the following images:

Hello @Brukterra-PGO! Thank you for flagging this. I'll follow-up as soon as I get any news from my team regarding the same. I appreciate your patience until then.
No problem. I help where I can. 🙂
But I'll say it anyway, just to be on the safe side: Since you've already managed to warn me, even though I'm the person who reported it ... 👿
Also this time I am the person who reports it, not the culprit 😉
Hi @Brukterra-PGO, we have confirmed that you have been submitting PoKéStop to the incorrect Location. We recommend you review the Nomination Criteria before submitting any more PokéStop nominations or edits. Note that any further violations can lead to the permanent suspension of your Wayfarer and your Pokémon GO account.Edit: This message wasn't intended for the user.
@NianticGray
Are you serious?! I'm NOT the Culprit.
The wayspots affected are NOT MINE at all!
I only noticed that on site the other day. That's exactly why I reported it to you here in the forum.
But I asked for the spelling mistake in the title of one of the playgrounds to be corrected. But that's not what this is about, is it?
Was your message meant for someone else? I just don't get it.
@NianticCasey-ING Please take a look at this. They are trying to attach something to me here or to make a scapegoat.
I discovered that someone submitted fake wayspots and have documented and reported it and now you want to warn me? What have I done? Please check the evidence! That must be a mistake again
I think this is the second time that @Brukterra-PGO is getting strikes for no reason. On both strikes, he did an edit trying to increase the quality of the POIs.
(See the first strike here: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/8267/abuse-nianticcasey-please-help/p1)
Both strikes are ridiculous and should definitely get withdrawn. You are actually warning someone who is trying to help clean up the database and not an abuser. If this will go on like this, no one would care in fear of getting their account banned. There is no reason why this is getting handled like this. I don't want to know how many other innocent players have been warned because of something like this. One strike isn't super bad but two? Why? I really don't need to understand it, right?
When you strike the players who EDITED the POI and not the ones who SUBMITTED them, your system definitely needs a fix.
I deeply apologize for the confusion there. The message shared above was not intended for you but for the Wayfinder who was responsible for this abuse. Rest assured, you have not received any punishments (strike). I apologize again for this.
Sorry I don't get the joke. That was definitely not fun! I hope that I can really trust your statement. Do not disappoint me!
I understand your concern there. We do appreciate you for flagging such appeals to us to help us maintain the quality of Wayspots! :)
The photos deleted from the playground have reappeared! Please remove them again! @NianticGiffard
