Promoting own interest using wayfarer

I am from India and I recently came across a weird nomination while reviewing submissions. The screenshot is attached below.
It is obvious that this is clear abuse and I rejected it under abuse criteria. But I was curious to see what Pokemon go related content he makes. So, I visited the channel. And when I visited there, I found that the channel is based entirely on spoofing and cheating-related content. So, the nominator used wayfarer to promote cheating in the game. I am not sure how this fits under the rules and regulations set by Niantic. Any clarification regarding this?

Sometimes @NianticGiffard or @NianticAtlas will step in and investigate these, or even @NIACHAOSMONKEY-ING.
Unfortunately handling abuse has always been a low priority from the Wayfarer team.
