@NianticGiffard Could the following photos be reviewed, please. Submitter has deliberately submitted lower quality photos, in each scenario. There has been multiple scenarios when a Wayspot has been approved via submission by local Wayfinders and submitter would submit these shortly each has been approved, with the most recent, Red Squirrel Mural, being submitted as a new Wayspot to be duplicated, lessening the requirements for declining same.
There also appears to be manipulation of the votes as the voting system is meant to support better quality photos, however, these photos have amassed more likes when there are already preexisting better quality photos in place, could the voters in place for these photos also be looked into as it would appear players are abusing the voting system.

Crikey, when I see that number of votes on a portal, I’m immediately suspicious of people using multiple accounts.
Votes should also be used to have the best photo represent the POI. I’d argue that the duplicated photo by 5ticks is inferior, and the one by Jamie best represents the mural.
Looking at all the examples, I’d hate to live in this town where the wayspots have such low quality photos, and players would legitimately struggle to vote the best photo.
That's weird... So what's the end goal of submitting and massively upvoting nasty grainy photos?
That is upsetting though, I hate when I see a Wayspot with a gross photo I always try to submit a new one that looks better.
Thanks for flagging this, @JamieofArds-ING! We have reviewed the report and have made necessary changes to 18 Wayspots and have taken action on the Wayfinder in accordance with our policies. Thanks for helping us maintain the quality of the Wayspots.
You forgot to close this thread, too.
