Wayspot Movements Greater than 10m Discussion

Hi there everyone,
Can someone please provide me with the official answer on how a person goes about moving a wayspot greater than 10m within the game?
I read through the discussion here: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/comment/30932#Comment_30932 and it stated from Niantic's Casey (back in August 2020) that if a person would like to request a move greater than 10m, that it should be reported directly to the team here so it can be analyzed.
Can anyone provide me with clarification on this point? Does this mean that I need to go to the the Location Edit Appeals section after I get a rejection for only being able to move something 10m when it needs to be further moved? Is there another link that can be provided where we can submit our location edits to the Niantic team directly?
I am unsure on how to go about doing this, officially, as I have multiple wayspots that need to be moved more than 10m, but cannot get them moved due to the limitation either because they have been rejected in the past, or I simply cannot move them to the real-world location that they are placed. If anyone could please help me with a formal, official answer regarding how I go about doing this, I would sincerely appreciate it. Thank you! @NianticCasey-ING I am tagging you since the comment I am referring to was quoted from you.

I've used Edit Appeals for moving over 10m directly, without first having to try an edit via the game. Just mention that it's over 10m so you couldn't submit in game.
Visit https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/new/help and scroll down/wait till a chat symbol appears. A bot will ask you the ingame title, current location (Intel-Link is super useful) and the actual location of the Wayspot (Google Maps: select location, share the coordinates). Then you can add supporting images and text. It's the most efficient and easiest way. You don't even have to report ingame. Only takes a couple hours to get a response and for the Wayspot to move most of the time.
The most responsive way currently seems to be through Wayfarer help chat (round orange button in the lower right corner of the "Help" tab on the main Wayfarer website). I've made two requests through that system, and each was moved within 24 hours.
Hey there @flatmatt-PGO ! Good to see you on here man.
I was able to use the system you guys described and it worked perfectly. Thank you both!
