Røde Panda (Red Panda)
City: Herlev
Country: Denmark
So, a well known player around here has severel times tried to get a couch portal. Since theres nothing around his house that could make it as a portal he has tried to create something himself.
All his suggestions has been declined until now. Recently he has managed to get his couch portal using an old idea he had a year or two ago.
It's quite simple: He has vandalised a fuse box owned by the local electrical company by putting some adhesive labels on it to look like it was a painted animal (panda). Description of the portal is also "Nice painted panda on Stordyssen") -> "Stordyssen" being the road the portal is located on.
It is not legal to paint and/or put stickers on the fuse boxes owned by the electrical company and the fuse box is also placed on private property.
Here you can see a video showing how the "painted" panda is just made of adhesive labels and easily removed:

The above description is absolutely correct. This portal should never have been approved (had been rejected before). It is vandalism on a box owned by the local tele company.
Dear Pokemon go team.
So basicalley youre blue labeling vandalism, by letting this portal remain in the game.
Best regards
Nia is not for/against vandalism.
It is (very ugly) art but it exists so it is valid
It dosn't exist. You can clearly see that on the attached video.
And heres a fresh picture taking just a few minutes ago:
Actually it's Ingress players. Same (few) players who has been reported for years but are backed up by multiple accounts.
If this is to be removed, it is because it is on private residential property. I would consider that to be the case since it is inside the hedge that surrounds a private home. Google Street View provided as evidence.
Actually, it was removed by the guy making this post as well, so unless it was fixed it can be reported as removed (by the OP).
I'm just not sure who is doing the "vandalism" in this matter.
If that utility box was on edge of the property of a home, then it should be removed under "private residential propery". But it isn't next to a home, but instead next to a str!p mall. So you cannot make the same comparisons. Also, it doesn't matter which side of the hedge the box shown by the OP is on. If something is on private residential property, it is categorically invalid.
It is rather telling of your character that you find it necessary to insult people who report invalid Wayspots. @NianticDanbocat or @NianticGiffard, do you want to weigh in on the insult?
Vke 123-ing
Ofcourse they are…by accepting portals wich are clearly made by vandalising others proberty…and accepting it as a valid part of the game.
The portal has been removed from the game.
I hope Niantic will monitor the ingress players that supported this portal.
Thanks.
Thanks for the appeal, Trainer. As you're aware we have already retired the Wayspot in question.
