I was trying to report abusive edits using the abuse form just now, but when I click the link, it shows this:
Did I just missed something or else?

I've gone through about half of the posts written by @welzy08-PGO and and flagged them as "Abuse > Other > 'Ban evasion; this user has been banned on the community as @Gabriel0322-PGO, @Dice976jr-ING, and TimerCiock on the Ingress forum; spreading misinformation, being rude, and spamming the thread with non-sequiturs.'" I know several others have reported this abuse, as well.
Multi-accounting, ban evasion, and purposefully misrepresenting the guidelines needs to be more quickly addressed.
Their hijacking of posts from prior accounts has lead friends and members of other communities to leave this forum and no longer trust it as being a useful location to share ideas and seek guidance.
Agreed with the above. It's obvious these were also the same user, but if any of us post any proof from things this user themselves has posted on the forum, said user always uses their multiple acocunts to flag our posts for "posting personal information" and WE get our posts removed and have our warning levels raised. And cause we don't multi-account, we're hurt a lot harder by this.
Please take this request seriously. This person has been known to make 6+ accounts on both the Wyafarer and Ingress Forum to spam comments, avoid bans, upvote and manipulate their own posts. This person purposely breaks the rules and bends any guidance.
Why do we have to report abuse?
Isn't it clear enough?
Or is Niantic OK with that behavior?
Not to mention, when you look at the area that person submits in (and clearly reviews in) it's full of recent criteria-breaking garbage.
Cemeteries filled to the brim with gravestones called "Statues", Every mall directory labelled as a trail map, etc.
They use their multiple account to manipulate wayfarer and ruin the ratings of everyone else around them who reviews properly. I've stopped reviewing as much as I used to in part because I see their submissions, report them as abuse, reject them, and then see them approved anyways. I'm not tanking my rating when Niantic doesn't even care about this problem user themselves.
Not only are they multi accounting, they are using bought accounts to manipulate the system. Just like at their "bot" stats for proof.
I recall you sharing similar abuse from the area in the https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/49/unsuitable-grave-nominations thread.
It always is discouraging to see nominations showing up in the "duplicates" that you rejected due to not meeting criteria and/or abuse.
Silence on the matter implies acceptance.
I'm disappointed to see that the current situation in the AMA thread has been allowed to go on for such a long time without mod intervention. It shouldn't have reached a stage were another thread reporting this spam and abuse needed to be made in the first place.
I am really quite annoyed that the argument has been allowed to go on for 5 days now. I know some of the mods have been on since then, since they have answered questions. There is actually a very Valid point in all of that mess about hospitals that is going to be completely lost. Just because one person has to be a **** and the fact that it has been reported multiple times in multiple spots yet still not addressed is just wrong on many levels.
You can count on the whole thread going to the trash, so keep a copy of any interesting post. Even better: create right now a new thread and leave that one alone.
But I can't understand why Niantic wants us to take Wayfarer seriously when they don't apply the minimum effort to keep this forum clean with so few users. They have shown us that the reports that people have been sending about the nominations of that person has been ignored despite the obvious abuse of the system and they ignore him again here as they have done in the past.
It's not worth our time.
I started flagging as "Off-Topic" in the September AMA, because it had turned into a "everyone look at my rejected nominations and make sure they go through now" thread. I got a cool-down for reporting too many, too quickly in a row 😶
i wonder what happens if something illegal or very problematic will be posted in the wayfarer forums. it took very long to remove the things of welzy.
as i understand the Niantic-Mods here are now 2 ppl more, and i hope that they have a close look at least once a day.
Still working

It is working, from what we can see.
It would be better that everyone that used it, would get a sort of information what happens with it.
So it was my connection then. Switching over to Wi-Fi and now it works. Thanks!
This has already been clarified by the OP but just to be 100% certain, I went and confirmed that the form is still active and working.
Thanks for flagging!
