Hi, @NianticGiffard .
I decided to pay attention to the strange ONLINE Wayspot I found in the neighbourhood during my review of the "Jizo in the graveyard".
Please have a look with me.
This way.
Title of the Wayspot:でっかい眼鏡 BIG Glasses

City: 950-1 Yawata-machi, Soka-City, Saitama-Pref.

It's a sign with big red glasses.
The name "ビジョンメガネ" is written in large letters in Japanese katakana on the sign.
"ビジョンメガネ" means "Vision Glasses".
It was the very name of the restaurant that caught my attention.
This is a chain of glasses shops.
Here is the official website
ビジョンメガネ
You have a list of shops.
As of today, you can see that there are 85 shops across Japan, of which one is listed as closed.
In other words, it is a chain of eyeglasses shops operating in Japan.
From this list you can also see that this Wayspot that is ONLINE is a shop located in Soka.
Please, have a look at some of the pages of the different chains.
For example, here.
in Tomioka City.
We can see in the picture exactly the same sign as the distinctive glasses-shaped sign in the shop in Soka-City.
This is the shop in Takarazuka-City.
The distinctive signs of the chain's spectacle shops were all mass-produced under the same "red spectacles" concept.
Only the shapes differed slightly.
The chain shop "Vision Spectacles" was founded in 1976.
Vision Spectacles company profile
The company was founded in 2009.
In the meantime, the corporate mark has changed with the times.
All in all, the basis of the corporate mark "red glasses" has not changed.
In my opinion, Wayfinder should not have applied for this sign and the judges should not have allowed it to go ONLINE.
Because the signs covered are chain shop signs.
So we think this Wayspot is inappropriate, and we're telling you about it.
I am very disappointed that this eyeglass chain has gone ONLINE as a Wayspot.
In Japan, there are numerous examples of chain shops of various professions that are online as Wayspots.
Can you please investigate this Waypot and the applicant first?
Comments
He is changing the definition of mass production for himself. This investigation request is out of the question.
I can assure you that what you are saying is completely wrong.
You don't understand a single thing about what we are talking about here.
Did you read even one line of the above detailed report on the chain of opticians correctly?
It's not mass produced. Even in the examples you provided they are not the same, they are slightly different, so it's not really correct to call them mass produced.
Considering the wayspot seems to be the big glasses, and not the store (I can't read any Japanese so I can't be sure), I don't see a problem at all.
It might not be the best wayspot ever, but I don't think they fit any of the removal criteria, and it seems to be an over reaction to request an investigation on the submitter in this case. The submitter should be investigated when it's a fake wayspot, or when there's some kind of abuse (such as misplacing it on purpose).
I think each store has a unique sign with a different shape.
I presume that both the applicant and the judges were judged to be unique candidates in the area.
I also think this candidate is a good candidate.
You have a very interesting way of putting things.
I have written sentences in English in which I proved that this shop is just a symbol of the chain, but while reading those sentences, you continue with your argument?
I hope that Niantic rejects most of these reports, otherwise any nominator in Japan is in risk of a ban if the OP disagrees with any aspect of their nomination, going far beyond Niantic's rules to request removals or report abuse.
Being a chain store is not a reason for removal. Requesting the investigation of the nominator is really over the top.
I think he's taking advantage of the situation where it's hard for the Niantic to take action on the requester.
