Unfortunately this is far from the first time I've seen a child submit selfies or photos of their friends. I wish there was a way to report that sort of nominations for quick removal, it's a shame that they stay in the system for days or weeks (or even longer!) before they're finally rejected.
Not the first, wont be the last time you'll see people submitting a selfie or their house etc, reject and move on.
I know which sub you mean as I saw it in the Discord too 🤣 On top of doxxing themselves (their own problem to deal with tbh), the child looks under 13 which is against Nia's TOS https://nianticlabs.com/terms/en listed under 3.6, so aside from submitting coal, the user is outright lying about their age and the account should be limited/restricted and moved to Niantic Kids, so they at least can't submit anything anymore.
I got one last night too and reported it as abuse / personal information.
Yeah, I just got one of what appears to be a ten-year-old with the title “I am epic and a gamer god” and his home address.
it's been in the system since at least December 3 and was reported as abuse then, but another friend just got it this morning - agree there needs to be a faster way to get these removed
It might be the matter of a child taking off with their parents' or someone a bit older's phone, but knowing that children (especially my nephew) who are becoming more craftier and technologically literate than ever, they're probably more the culprits.
Assuming it is the actual child's account, they too should be subject to the long-awaited submitter's test, and do that before they even have access to nominate new wayspots or even make edits since they're probably the immature ones submitting gunk.
Uh... is that the one that says "im and epic gamer god, my super duper cool house with 2 dogs" Because I just got that. With the main and supporting photo just the kid's face.
Like tell me more, when do your parents go to work and whats your alarm system code????
Report them as abuse so hopefully it will be removed quickly and the kid may lose their submission ability.
I got that one too
This was reported as abuse on December 3 but is still in the system on December 8.
My concern is about the child's privacy, not just the bad submission.
I am glad so many others are reporting having seen it so it is clear this is a legitimate concern.
@NianticTintino @NianticGiffard @Danbocat-PGO apologies for the late ping, but can one of you confirm that this has been looked at?
And, only mildly off topic, but (lack of) removal of such nominations after having been reported as abuse nearly a week ago is very bothersome. I hope this is something that can be better handled by the new chat system.
Yeah... Where's the submitter's test??? And please please please... As I have stated many times make it mandatory for ALL who have not already taken the reviewer's test. Otherwise these unsupervised children (and others) will still have the ability to do this.
Thanks for your ping!
For some reason, I didn't get any notification from you @cyndiepooh-ING. Anyway, I will initiate the DM conversation with you immediately!
Thanks for re-pinging @Gendgi-PGO and I wanted to let everyone know that I have been messaged that this has been dealt with.
