Hello Niantic!
I would like to report abusive location edits made through Wayfarer review system.
Some people (reviewers) have been playing with locations of my and my friend's submissions. Both portal locations were pinned to the correct spot(location) but during reviewing period somebody abused the "edit location" option so their locations moved.
I have 2 examples which I will provide here:
1) Title of the Wayspot: Konoba & pizzeria SPLIT
Location: 43.516618,16.446551
City: Split
Country: Croatia
Screenshot of the Rejection Email: N/A
Additional information:
As written in confirmation email, the original location is: 43.516703 , 16.446571 and not the middle of a road. Here are pictures:
2) Title of the Wayspot: PODROOM pub
Location: 43.517905,16.449456
City: Split
Country: Croatia
Screenshot of the Rejection Email: N/A
Additional information:
As written in confirmation email, the original location is: 43.518041, 16.449656 and not the edge of a random building.
Please fix the locations and ban the ones who abuse the system.

It takes multiple people to suggest a location edit during the review stage and get it approved, it's not just one single player.
That being said, looking at street view and satellite view, I can't see anything that would have confused reviewers regarding the location of these two submissions, so it seems rather odd that multiple people have suggested moving them when there appears to be no reason to do so.
Of course it takes multiple players but what happened here is abuse/trolling.
Here we have a guy who is, beside just a gamer, a multiaccounter as well. I am pretty sure that misdeeds come from his side as he badmouths pretty much every player here. I can literally name all of his accounts here but I think it would be pointless to do so.
