Another two shady nominations - Potential abuse
Hello, I'm here again to report some shady nominations.
I already reported something that looked highly suspicious here: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/comment/159948#Comment_159948 and I'm glad to see it got removed.
I checked again near that location to see if the abuser got anything else through. It seems he did.

Nomination number 1:
Title: Cartello informativo Paderno-Dugnano
Location: https://www.google.com/maps?daddr=45.58114,9.164433
Why I'm reporting it: looking on streetview, this seems a generic notice board for obituaries (necrologi in italian = obituaries). The wayspot photo is really poor quality, but it looks photoshopped because it's very unlikely that a notice board for obituaries gets replaced with a nature information bulletin board.
Moreover, this wayspot doesn't have a pedonal access because it's directly on the road with no sidewalk (who would put a bulletin board directly on a road where pedestrians can't walk?)

Nomination number 2:
Title: Cartina Informativa - Egro "In Egar"
Location: https://www.google.com/maps?daddr=45.581079,9.164791
Why I'm reporting it: it looks like the abuser used his usual "cheat" by deliberately uploading a photosphere in the wrong location to trick reviewers to confirm the location of the wayspot in a wrong place. As you can see in the video right away, the photosphere shows something really similar to a woodland with trails and rocks. By checking the satellite view and the "legit" google streetview photos, you can bet the location of the photosphere can't be there: the satellite view shows a simple meadow with no trees, while streetview confirm there is no woods, but only a private property with a fence.

I kindly request niantic to double-check this shady nominations and, if confirmed fake, take appropriate actions upon them and those who proposed them.
Thank you!

There's definitely some bad photoshop on that first one. On the right side of the sign they have correctly positioned it inside the post, but on the left side they were sloppy and put it slightly on top of the post.
Niantic may or may not find this note in the General forum.
Try this place instead: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/categories/removal-appeals
