ABUSE Teterow
Preface: Months ago I discovered a fake wayspot in the city of Teterow and reported it ingame, but so far I have not been able to prove that this is fake because I have not taken any photos to prove it. Today I went there and thought I could take a quick photo, but then I had to find out that it is not just 1 fake, but a single player has distributed fakes all over the city! That messed up the whole day because I had to search the whole city for fakes! I expect that this player will be warned and would be happy if all discovered fakes are moved to the correct place and those for which I did not find the right place are deleted!
Of course, I can only show a rejection email for the first fake, as I only discovered all of the others today. I beg to act fast!

LOCATION EDITS:
I leave it up to you whether you recognize the following as abuse, I noticed a few wayspots which are not in the right place.
For the first two I took proof photos because the correct places are a little further away there. For the others it's only short distances.

Unfortunately, I brought bad news with me. Since everything was clearer now, I checked the entire city earlier.
There will be a sequel / part 2! I'll post it here later.

What I also noticed: The description of the wayspot ... Trafohaus "Mädchen mit Schwan und Enten" (New coordinates "53.774412,12.572377") says in the description that it is at the "Bergringrennbahn", that is a lie and only served to ensure that it is accepted at the wrong location. Now that it's in the right place, can you please remove that part of the description? Thanks.
Attention please
I noticed 2 more wayspots, where I unfortunately didn't take any photos as evidence.
1.)
Title of the Wayspot: Die Meerjungfrau
Current Location: 53.77229,12.570519
City: Teterow

Additional information: As I drove by, I saw that at the point where the wayspot is placed, there is only a metal frame, which is supposed to protect people from falling into the water.

If you take a close look at the photo of the wayspot and compare the background, you will quickly see that the paths seen in the background do not match the satellite view.
I will now tell you the correct location and also provide evidence.
Correct location: 53.773523, 12.572128
Compare this location and the satellite view and you will find that the paths that can be seen in the background of the image match immediately.

Additional information: The Wayspot is part of one of the bakeries in town. You are welcome to research, there is no bakery in the street and at this building there. Just delete that.
Push. I ask for part 2 to be processed.
Push
We're looking into your part 2 report at the moment. I appreciate your patience until you hear back from me.
That's fine. The information alone that you take care of it is already satisfactory. At least it's better than not having any information at all.
Hi there, @WayfarerMSE-PGO! We have reviewed the report and have taken action on the 25 Wayspots and 3 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.
However, due to insufficient evidence, we’re unable to review the Wayspot "Brezel-Kunst". If you have additional evidence (geotagged images, photospheres) to share, please submit a new appeal with additional information and we’ll take another look.
Thanks for helping us maintain the quality of the Wayspots.
Thanks!
I don't see any changes at the moment, but it probably has something to do with your delayed synchronization process. Let's see what it looks like later.
However, I just noticed 1 fake again, so unfortunately I have to ask you again to improve! 🙈 @NianticGiffard
Title of the Wayspot: Wandkunst "Frau"
Current Location: 53.75324,12.606094
City: Pampow (Village, next to the City Teterow)
Country: Germany
Correct Location:
The last picture on the wall, on the far right.
Yup, it's the doing of the "Sync" Lord.
That being said, I have moved the Wayspot Wandkunst "Frau" to its correct location.
Very well done. Thank you for your conscientious work!
Wandkunst "Frau" - 53.774738,12.571898
If possible change or remove the description of the wayspot, because the current description claims that the wayspot is in the village "Pampow", although as I have proven it is in the town of "Teterow".
-
Wandbild "Plaudernde Männer" - 53.774807,12.571968
The same goes for this wayspot. The description claims it is in "Von-Moltke-Straße", although it is located somewhere else.
-
I hope that this topic is finally over. I'm sorry that I always have something to complain about, but I hate cheaters.
Yes, I get your concern, and thanks for following up. We've made the required changes now.
Thank you.
I still found a description to edit. I hope that I won't find anything else then. This town pisses me off. Sorry.
-
Wayspot "Hungernder Mann" - 53.776622,12.576371
The description claims the wayspot is in "John-Brinckmann-Straße" (former location of the fake), the new and correct location is "Freiheit".
-
By the way, you don't have to answer that. I keep an eye on that and I can imagine that each of my comments in this thread annoys you as much as it annoys me, but everything has to be in order.
Not an issue, thanks for writing back! We've made the required changes now.
@NianticGiffard I've been observing what new wayspots are popping up for a while now and have now checked them out. The result is sobering. There are new fakes again, but significantly fewer.

Thanks for bringing it up! We have reviewed them and taken action on the 8 Wayspots and 2 Wayfinders in accordance with our policies.
@NianticGiffard
1.)
Please take a look at my opening post. There is a problem with Wayspot number 2.). The location appears to have been changed exclusively to Ingress. It wasn't synced correctly in Pokémon Go and is still in the wrong location!
2.)
There is also a problem with Wayspot number 2.) from the last message. This number seems to bring bad luck. You pushed the wayspot to the wrong side of the building. Below there are photos for this wayspot and the wayspot of the station that show the correct location.
3.)
Der Frauenkopf
Current: 53.769765,12.578815

4.)
NEW FAKE
Wandkunst "Drachen" Rosenstraße
Current: 53.769301,12.579507
The following pictures show that the location is wrong.
I found the correct location in the side street. The problem here is that when you correct the location, you also need to edit the title/description. Since the street name "Rosenstrasse" is a lie and doesn't match the correct place, just the wrong one.
Correct Location:
5.)
Location wrongly set on purpose to make the Wayspot appear in Pokémon Go. Location correction required.
Wandbild "Hände"
Location: 53.768723,12.584272
Correct: 53.768834, 12.583983
Proof:
Hey there! We have moved the Wayspots to their correct location
Well done.
Number 4 is on the wrong side of the street. But not tragic. Much better than before.
It's only now that I realize that the submitter apparently has no idea what he's photographed. "Drache" means "Dragon". What he photographed, however, is the local heraldic animal, the "Greif" / "Griffin". 😬
Subsequent wayspots require manual correction. The fixes so far seem to have only been synced to Ingress but not to Pokemon Go, which is why the wrong locations have been retained there.

Unfortunately, the situation is unchanged. The locations are corrected in Ingress but still not in Pokemon Go.
