Common items for all invalid Wayspots
- Country: South Korea (Republic of Korea)
In this post, I report 10 invalid Wayspots.
- No.1-3 : fake Wayspot
- No.4-10 : ineligible
No.1
Title of the Wayspot: 벽화
Location: 36.334802,127.3932
City: Daejeon
Reason: The location where this Waypot was submitted does not have a mural identical to the one in this Wayspot photo. There are several mural streets around, but the same location as the background for this Wayspot photo has not been found. There is no mural that are exactly same as the mural in Wayspot photo, too.
As you can see from the placement of other Wayspots around this Wayspot, this Wayspot has been deliberately submitted to current location. Other Wayspots around this Wayspot have the same submitter, too.

@NianticLC It's been 4 weeks since this post was posted... Is this missing? If the lack of manpower is the reason, I can wait longer.
Sorry for the delay, @growgi-PGO! We have reviewed the report and made necessary changes to 11 Wayspots and taken action on 9 Wayfinders in accordance with our policies. While we are unable to discuss our actions in detail to protect the submitter’s privacy, they may include, but are not limited to, sending a warning message, placing restrictions on their Wayfarer, Pokémon GO, or Ingress account, putting their account on probation, or placing a temporary or permanent suspension on their Wayfarer, Pokémon GO or Ingress account.
Thanks for helping us maintain the quality of the Wayspots.
