Water fountain are stil valid portals.
So if you can't hit the centre of a portal the need to to leave the scanner for good?
Then a lot of portals need to go. Or isn't that your point?
There are different types of fountains. Some are eligible, whilst others lack pedestrian access and thus are ineligible. The eligible ones are typically ornamental fountains that are not located in the middle of a body of water, and instead self contained within their own basin. In such cases, the basin forms part of the fountain, and so because you can walk up to and touch the basin safely, this kind of fountain does have safe pedestrian access.
A fountain in the middle of a body of water is not self contained, and thus the edge of the body of water where you'd stand is not considered a part of the fountain. This kind of fountain is ineligible because in order to access the actual fountain, you'd need to be in the water, which is obviously not safe pedestrian access.
After reviewing the additional evidence provided, we’ve decided to retire the Wayspot in question. Thanks!
