Location Editing Abuse

This is my first time making a post so I hope I'm doing this right. The following are a few Wayspot editing abuses I discovered while reviewing. I've encountered many others before but I didn't know where to report them until recently.


1)

Wayspot Title: Takraw court taman dahlia fasa 8

Location: 2.828819, 101.720025

City: Sepang

Country: Malaysia

A written plea was included in the description. I have noticed this many times across many other located edit abuses, though only a handful are honest.

As you can see from the Map View, the requested "moving to the bottom" is far from the actual location of the sepak takraw court. This seems to be the 2nd time the request has been made as there are two spots for selection away from the real life location.


2)

Wayspot Title: AP Body Curl Exercise

Location: 3.105447, 101.410571

City: Klang

Country: Malaysia

As usual, a plea was included at the description selection.

The "top" as mentioned by the plea is at the shoulder of the road. The actual location is the bottom most pin where the fitness station is actually location, near the pavement.


3)

Wayspot Title: Flower Boat

Location: 2.657835, 101.556745

City: Tanjong Sepat

Country: Malaysia


The description is just a plea. There isn't even a proper description for this nomination to select for.

As you can see from the Map View and Street View images, the requested location edit is deliberately moving the location away from the actual location of the nominated Wayspot.


4)

Wayspot Title: Brother & Sister On Riding Bicycle Mural

Location: 3.524124, 101.908192

City: Bentong

Country: Malaysia

The requested edit to the "top" is far away from the actual location of the mural as you can see from the Street View.


I hope action will be taken against these location editing abuses. Thank you for your time.
