Title of the Wayspot: Malina-Coffee & Stories
Original Location: about 53.591416/10.045648
Hellbrookstraße 61
Location now: 53.591807/10.045648
Schwalbenstraße 57
City: Hamburg
Country: Germany
There is no rejection mail as the Portal was moved from one location to the other by upvoting a wrong picture (that of the Bakery instead of the Coffee Shop)
Additional information: The wayspot is one of many that got removed and changed during the last years in Hellbrookstraße. It seems to be done on purpose to restrain especially one active player in our community. Especially Barmbek and Wandsbek are involved in strategic wayspot removal and change. I am not one if the players involved. However as it is now affecting the whole of the community and even new players I want to show this as the first example. Someone added a new photo of the Bakery and upvoted that picture and then changed the position from Cafe to Bakery which are 2 different places and addresses. Please change back, thank you. (We upvoted the right picture again now)

It's one of many examples of wayfarer abuse around here. Some recent cases even went as far as to post completely fake/misleading appeals here in the forums to try to get a portal removed...
Not only there and lets say color dependant as well..
Wayfarer turned into a massively rigged institution where legit portals of one color are getting moved, deleted or even falsely tagged as abuses when proposed. The other faction can keep whatever blocking emergency services or since many years non existant ones forever. Its such a shame that such even became an instrument to continously demotivate specific gamers where we additionally see any counteraction from nia nor the wayfarer team that whatever is written about fair and respective gameplay is turned into a sheer joke.
So in these means, just another sad example how badly nia interpretes and 'assures' fairness nowadays in general.
I would like to link this as another example of the area https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/45300/invalid-portal-minispielplatz-hasselbrook
Also these 2 https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/35521/invalid-wayspot-appeal-starmurai-trooper-wandbild

For the other area in question in our North German Community Oldenburg and Loxstedt. These 2 links are great as the same person claiming the Starmurai Portal doesn't exist shows it very clearly in the other post. And there is more...
As someone not directly involved in neither of the areas I sure notice that it leads to very annoyed players, who then might remove more portals or start something like this: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/43752/frosch-im-seerosenteich-bedruckte-klebefolie-verzeilerkasten - https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/44457/valid-wayspot-removed-constantly endless fighting for and against a wayspot that is a perfectly normal portal everywhere else. I'd say there are uglier ones without discussions if they might or might not be Art. And I am not even talking about all the other Portals that got removed without a discussion in Wayfarer. I see my community and especially the active agents falling apart due to that and I am not willing to watch. It might be some animosities between old players, however now even new agents in the same areas have to suffer, so I decided to get involved.
