Harlow Abuse: Photoshopped + Fake Trail Marker
Title: Royal Marines Heritage Trail
Coordinates: 51.771375,0.082117
Hello, an accepted fake trail marker has been submitted by the same person/people who have abused Wayfarer in the past. See: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/comment/86235
Firstly, the trail doesn’t exist in Harlow. It’s actually a trail in the town of Deal, approximately 100km away. See: https://royalmarinesheritagetrails.org/trail/ https://royalmarinesheritagetrails.org/trail-information/
Secondly, there is clear photoshopping in the pictures submitted. Here is a link to the original picture so you can look for yourself:
I’ve highlighted it here. There is a clear difference in blur where the trail marker has been pasted on to the pavement in an effort to blend the trail marker into the pavement:
This was the supporting photo, with a purple artifact present from distortion of the pasted image:
Finally, if this is not enough evidence I can privately share (to a mod/admin) more proof.
They're serial abusers of Wayfarer and clearly the action taken before wasn’t enough to deter them.
