Park where all POIs are in the wrong place

I've got a local forest nearby with a lot of great potential POIs. However, most of the existing ones are pinned in the wrong place. I suspect they were done before Photosphere was used as many have been there for years. But in the edit/move feature, I can only move them a few feet, these are 100s of yards off. Some on top of what would be great POIs on their own. Is there a way to get these fixed? I'm guessing resubmitting as new stops in the right place would just tag them as duplicates?

Submit a ">10m Location Edit appeal" with supporting info for each misplaced stop.
if you ever have made a submission in a forest, you might find out that getting the right GPS location for something can be tricky.
Use a geotagged picture app like this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gpsmapcamera.geotagginglocationonphoto
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gpsmapcamerastamplite.gpsmaplocationstamponphotos
Then make a photo of every object and then send those pictures here and the Niantic team will move them.
Yeah, TBH I would not assume bad intent here if these are old and in a forest. It is really difficult to determine exact placement when you're out in the woods without roads and buildings as guides on Google.
The form to request this is here

Is this form even working? Haven't had any responses in the last 7 months, and my edits were obvious + with good evidence.
It's hit or miss.
Honestly I stopped using it after time now using this forum and it works even better than the form. There is nothing the form has which the forum doesnt have.
This was 100% assumed to be about the difficulty of finding location on that screen in a forest. I know, I've tried to do it. And all of these POIs have been around for years. I posted in the suggested place, so fingers crossed. Thanks for pointing me in the right place.
