Massive Abuse and Fakes, Schwarzenberg Part 1
City: Schwarzenberg (Erzgebirge)
(postal numbers 08312, 08340, 08344)
Country: Germany, Saxony
The massive Faking and abusing there started when PoGo was allowed to submit (Germany was beta test region). I know this town, and so I can say that nearly 50% of the wayspots, that appeared since trainers were allowed to submit are fake or at least submitted in a very distorted location by intention. One can easily see, that there is a high degree of S2 cell optimization "achieved":
So I will give you a few examples of very obvious fakes.
@NianticEG @NianticKK @NianticCasey-ING
So please check the meta data of the pictures of other submissions of the fakers and re-review them too; especially in terms of location accuracy. So please use all opportunities your database has, and re-review all submissions since the PoGo-submitting-beta in terms of location accuracy of the supporting picture, and the metadata. If there is any doubt in comparison to the satelite map.... remove the wayspots.
Further: please be very strict to the creators of these fakes/missplacements.The region there is highly prioritized by your distribution algorithm, and evrything could be back by resubmitting within a week. So if you don't hit the creators of these fakes with at least strikes nothing will change there.
Doing this the normal way with reporting evrything, collect proof for evry single one, and then do appeals would be a ton of work and a large waste of time for me. So please evry technical opportunity your database has ..... check the metadata, the quality of the supporting picture. If the supporting pictures are useless there, then for sure by intention to trick the reviewers and hope they go for 3* in location accuracy category.

Numbers 1,2,3,5 and 6 are obviously placed on cemetery grounds, and perfectly aligned with the cell grid. The way they are placed doesnt make sense and doesnt follow any given pathway. Number 4 is barely outside of the graveyard, but the picture doesnt make sense for that location, too. If the picture is taken in southern direction, then there should be andy kind of wall of fence in the picture, the cemeteries border.... If the picture would be taken in northern direction, then the terrain would be way around. It has to be downhill in looking in northern direction there, and there is no hint for this junkyard at this place.
Also allegedly on the ground of the cemetery, an infoboard about butterflies. This one made me laugh ....

There are 4 wayspots, that are obviously on the area of a school: https://www.brueckenbergschule.de/

A public accessible playground wayspot is the one in the south east of this one.
Plaque-wayspot at the wrong bridge
There are two similar plaque-wayspots, that are both part of the same bridges railing. But one of them is missplaced to another bridge:
roughly correct placed plaque: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.538705,12.786949&z=17&pll=50.538705,12.786949
wrongly placed plaque: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.538775,12.787681&z=17&pll=50.538775,12.787681
According to both pictures it's obvious, that the left bridge is the right one. Hint for this are the wooden planks on the ground, that are characteristic for footbridges, and by far not car accessible concrete bridges like the other one. So please move the second one this way:
The 5 Christmas Huts
There is a very iconic set of wooden huts with giant nearly life-sized examples of wooden figures, that are made in the famous style of the local Christmas Decoration of the Ore Mountains. The huts are located in the steep street between the train station and the medieval old town centre on the mountain. The street is named "Bahnhofstraße" and how it looks there, you can see here and especially how they are arrranged here .
Although the interiour of the huts is giant Christmas decoration, it's permanently installed in the huts. The point is, that the doors of the huts are usually only open during winter times. so this fulfills the given Criteria for being permanently installed and the huts and their interiour are great and legit wayspots.
Correct placed example: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.540468,12.78427&z=17&pll=50.540468,12.78427
Now the problem:
The people there not only submitted the other huts at totally different places, they submitted them also all twice: During summer times the huts are closed and then there are temporary infoboards placed in front of them. Because being temporary, they shouldnt be wayspots. Despite this, they were totally misplaced submitted too, but by intention.
The duplicate infoboards, temporary installed:

So here a picture of the supermarket, where most of the infoboards are (miss)placed around it:
So you can see, that all the small pediments of the giant supermarket building aren't fitting the wooden style of the huts and all of the infoboards locations are obviously lies.
Nethertheless, since they are temporary installed objects, please remove them from the games.
At the area of the supermarket is another portal, that doesnt fit the style of the buidling, so please remove it. too:

So here a list of the huts, that are legit wayspots:
roughly correct placed:

The 5th one is missing ..... or at least I didnt find it.
So please move the three missplaced wayspots to the street "Bahnhofstraße". Please arrange them equidistant in a row following the red line:
In the box you can see one of the huts in the sat view. Proof, that they are there is given above.
I don't know in which order they are exactly, but that's a minor problem that I (or someone else) can correct with location edits afterwards. Only thing I know out of mind: the wayspot "Schnitzerstube" is rather north....
A very intresting garage yard ....
Here you can see a garage yard and south of the garages is the parking area for the teachers of the school at the bottom of the picture. The garage yard and the parking area each have a facade stucco object ..... did the reviewers of those disgusting fakes even have a look at the map? The insects hotel wayspot between them doesnt fit too. the background in the pictures looks totally different to what the sat view shows.

The last one is stolen from the schools building. On its website (1st pic of the slideshow) you can see, that this relievo is above the entrance of the school. The other portal in front of the school ..... I can't judge, whether this are is considered to be part of the school, because it's a historical building and the area in front of it is arranged like a little park, I would say in dubio pro rheo.
Comments
I found further obvious fakes
Adler-Apotheke
... is a pharmacy in the medieval towns centre, where it is, can easily seen in OSM. The infoboard about the history of the pharmacy is a wayspot at two places. One is 50 or 100m off, the other one is far away. The content of the infoboard gives no hint, that this pharmacy would have changed its location, so the one is simply fake.
Fake spot:

Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.54295,12.792079&z=17&pll=50.54295,12.792079
Inaccurate spot: (I would assume that the inaccuracy here is caused by scanner redacted)

Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.537742,12.784933&z=17&pll=50.537742,12.784933
How it should be moved:
There are three other wayspots related to this pharmacy.
First one: According to the portal picture it's right next to the pharmacy's infoboard. So it should be moved to the same place like shown above.
Title: Flurplan Schwarzenberg
Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.537836,12.786036&z=17&pll=50.537836,12.786036

Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.536865,12.790078&z=17&pll=50.536865,12.790078
This wayspots picture shows the same infoboard like the wayspot above. So its totally missplaced, and looking at the cell grid and the distance, by intention fake!
----
Third one: it shows an infoboard, where the pharmacy is depicted in the wayspots picture. It also mentions the street "Marktgässchen" at the north side of the pharmacy's house. So this one is totally missplaced, too...
Title: Wandbild Marktgäßchen 1967
Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.538951,12.79087&z=17&pll=50.538951,12.79087
So it should be moved to the same location like the other infoboards....
-------------
Some random Fakes
Right next to the last mentioned infoboard, there is another fake located infoboard. This one is about a local fairy tale, and it mentions lots of locations, on its infoboards text.
Title: Die weiße Frau an der Jägerhäuser Straße
Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.539111,12.790656&z=17&pll=50.539111,12.790656
The sketch shows the following:
green marked: Location of a memorial about this fairy tale ( https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.519386,12.755045&z=17&pll=50.519386,12.755045 ), keywords to see the connection between the memorial stone and the fake infoboard: "Weiße (Nebel-)Frau" is part of both titles.
So looking at the map evry place would be plausible, that is between the towns centre and on any way up to the forest, where the memorial is, but by far not the other side of the towns centre, crossing the river and so on. The fake location is in a dead end street, and there are only houses, that look like single family homes. There will be no infoboard for sure...
And right after typing all this shallow reasoning ..... I found the real location of this infoboard accidentially: It's one of the infoboards shown at this portal in the towns centre: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.53769,12.784551&z=17&pll=50.53769,12.784551

Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.540897,12.793246&z=17&pll=50.540897,12.793246
The location of this infoboards house is mentioned in the text, the street "Eibenstöcker Straße". The street is at the other side of the town. Compare it with the following portal showing the same infoboard. The second one is close to "Eibenstöcker Str.", but not exactly there. the house of the location seems to be way to small to be the house shown on the infoboard. So it's a fake location, and please delete the portal, too:
Title: Infotafel "Herberge zur Heimat"

This infoboard mentions its location too: "Oberes Tor" .... so its real location is somewhere there:
I can't figure out where exactly, so please delete the wayspot.

This infoboard is about a former tunnel for trains, that is today used for pedestrians and bikers. OSM shows the tunnel right under the mountain with the castle on top, but I can't figure out, where the infoboard is, so please delete it.

This is a playground in the shape of a dragon (dragon = Drache; Spielplatz = playground) , here I would assume again inaccuracy because of Scanner Redacted. So please move it this way:
----------------
The Castle of the town has two wayspots, that are clearly duplicates to each other. Please be carefully here, because the Castle is a Gym in PoGo, and it is the very best candidate there for being a gym. Simply dont mess it up ....
so please delete this one: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.537311,12.786827&z=17&pll=50.537311,12.786827
because its wrong placed at the church (the left one in the picture)
The wayspot, that shall stay (because its the gym): https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.537439,12.787206&z=17&pll=50.537439,12.787206
(maybe you could edit its title a bit. Remove the word "Sachsen", it's only the county, there is no need to mention it in the wayspots title)

Title: Hermes
Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.53786,12.783709&z=17&pll=50.53786,12.783709
you can see the symbol of "Deutsche Bank" in this portals picture. In OSM you can easily see, where the bank house is. Looking at the google map one can see the characteristic porch of the picture:
In this case I would say it's more likely, that it was missplaced by intention and abusive, because it's the only wayspot of the Lvl 17 cell, and it's unlikeliy, that the Scanner-Redacted-inaccuracy would hit exactly a housefront and not another random place.
--------------
Title: Infotafel Krauß-Pyramide
Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.538451,12.784457&z=17&pll=50.538451,12.784457
This one is an infoboard about the nearby wayspot "Pyramide" (https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.53851,12.784028&z=17&pll=50.53851,12.784028). It's located directly at the small fence around the object. But since "Pyramide" is 20m too far in the west, I would suggest, that the infoboards wayspot is by intention placed additional 20m to far in the east, to fill another Lvl 17 cell....
The real location of both wayspots is in the middle between both locations, proof for this: there is a google marker for the pyramid. so I would recommend to move "Pyramide" a bit and delete the infoboard-wayspot:
Duplicates, far away from each other:
https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.543395,12.789804&z=17&pll=50.543395,12.789804
https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.543919,12.798411&z=17&pll=50.543919,12.798411
The second one is in the backyard of private properties. Obviously placed for cell optimization there....

Those boards are duplicate to each other, and both are at the wrong location. These are memorial plaque for Ernst Jünger is placed at the house, where he lived. It's the (in this thread) well known Adler-Apotheke again.
So please move one of the wayspots to our famous Adler-Apotheke, and remove the other one....

this is a picture in the style of socialisms propaganda showing depicting the labouring class. Such murals are usually part of big buildings, like the school in the second Location, that should be the real one. (the school is not k12, its beyond that)
The fake location is at a simple single family home in a single family estate. So fake, and totally ineligible there nethertheless.

Fake Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.538619,12.799819&z=17&pll=50.538619,12.799819
It's a duplicate to: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.545209,12.799438&z=17&pll=50.545209,12.799438
Both locations don't fit for this infoboard. In the map the upper box marks, wher the tower "Krauss-Turm" is really located. A bit of curious is, that the infoboard welcomes guests. This is a bit strange, since the other red box marks a hotel .... so this infoboard is either at the hotel, or at the tower. But for sure not at both places of the fakes.The one is far away, and the other one is only chosen for cell optimization obviously. There is no cobblestone wall at this place, only lawn and a hedge of a private property. So please remove both.
Further .... please check the whole area around this hotel. Lots of infoboards, all with different layout, high degree of cell optimization. I suggest a lot of cheating here, but I cant prove that. Checking the metadata would help here....
For example there are at least four other fakes in that area:
No.1:
Title: Skulptur "Herz"
Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.546113,12.800117&z=17&pll=50.546113,12.800117
The amount of conifers in the background doesnt fit the location of the portal. And in the sat view .... this is no conifer tree at this place. Further this "sculpture" has a duplicate:
Title: Statue "Herz des Waldes"
Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.540592,12.802677&z=17&pll=50.540592,12.802677
Having a deep look at this "piece of art" one can see, that it has no good mounting. It stands only on a metal plate. So it is easily removeable, and for sure no art. I'm sure this is a mass produced object for garden decoration from hardware store....
----
No.2:
Title: Infotafel Petanque
Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.54403,12.796942&z=17&pll=50.54403,12.796942
The location of this infoboard is again chosen for cell optimization, obviously. And it's on private property. And there is a duplicate somewhere else in the town:
It's the same infoboard on exactly the same mounting. For example look at the top right corners. The bad saw-work there is remarkable....
It's ugly twin has a strange location too: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.542941,12.789107&z=17&pll=50.542941,12.789107
.... right at the river Schwarzwasser...

this is a world war II memorial. In a backyard of a single family home. And if this is not enough, look at the portal picture. Where is the large house in the background? Right, not there.

Thanks for flagging, @Raachermannl-ING! I've now escalated the report internally for review. We will follow-up as we have more information to share. Cheers!
Lehrpfad "Unbesetzte Zone"
This is an educational trail, that has a flyer with its route: https://www.schwarzenberg.de/schwarzenbergdok/dok/PKwUJyOwGrbH8nEiCmrVHExSPhGbhdquLcdoAu3mH6tmaLVWUD/Flyer_Lehrpfad_Unbesetzt_2015.pdf

Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.542313,12.779109&z=17&pll=50.542313,12.779109
This is writing on an old houses wall, about the history of a former pharmacy, back in 1713. All the big appartment houses around this location are obviously not that old. This style of houses should be built between 1930 and 1990...
So like lots of wayspots there this one is stolen from the towns medieval centre.
Strange duplicates:
Title: Wappen
Fake-Location 1: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.557319,12.784011&z=17&pll=50.557319,12.784011

Both locations don't ft to the object. This style of art is by far not usual for big appartment houses like those at both wayspots locations. Especially the second one has a suspicious portal density there, and all other wayspots there are already proven fakes - I assume, that this is the home spot of one of the fakers.
Another pair of strange duplicates:

4 fakes at new built single family residential neighborhood:
In the satelite view you can see the building sites. But 3 wayspots show older things: 2x facade stucco art, that is typical for art nouveau era, or older:
Further there is a mural, that is (due to very weathered roof slates at the wall) older than the houses, too:
This mural is stolen from the neighbor-town Lauter at https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.559875,12.743692&z=17&pll=50.559875,12.743692 ....
The 4th spot there is a crest of the local gun club. The adress of the local gun club is: Strasse der Einheit 51, 08340 Schwarzenberg.
this is obviously a fake home spot cluster. Please punish the person, who created this.

Both location don't make sense in my oppinion.
---------
The other four wayspots at this community pool are fakes too:
all of these infoboard wayspots show a lot of forest in the background, especially needle trees. The location around this community pool has only a few broad-leafed trees. That's simply not possible there, the pictures don't fit the satelite view. Besides of this: two of these infoboards (with the corporate green design and built full metal) are infoboards of Sachsenforst (the official forrestry agency of the county of Saxony). Infoboards of them arent next to a private community pool, for sure....

There is a schematic map and descriptions, that show, where the real infoboards are. The number of the boards can be seen at the bottom. Wording: "Tafel <number>"

Rockelmann-Park
The world war memorial there is larger than usual. It's a giant obelisk, and on both sides giant plates with the names of those who died during the world wars:
.The wayspot of the obelisk is correct located: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.533868,12.781988&z=17&pll=50.533868,12.781988
But there are two wayspots for the giant plates, too, but those are totally missplaced. Each 200m away. Obviously by intention to achieve again cell optimization. So please move those plaques to the Obelisk, like the red crosses show. (I dont know which plate is on which side, but that's a minor problem)
Further:
There is a duplicate of the butterfly infoboard right next to the memorial. It's the same one (same picture!) from the initial post, that was missplaced at a cemetery....
https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.533799,12.782287&z=17&pll=50.533799,12.782287
This infoboard is for sure not there. A colorful butterfly infoboard so close to a giant world war memorial would be impious. This can't be real. I assume, that this infoboard is somewhere in this park/forest, but for sure not so close to the memorial. Please remove this spot, too.

Fake-Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.565968,12.784134&z=17&pll=50.565968,12.784134
The satelite view doesnt match the location, especially the roof of the building, the arrangement of the paving stones, and the canon itself should be visible. Google search for Kanone (canon) and Beierfeld (vilages name) has no fitting result. Since this is right next to the fake mentioned before are next to each other in front of the same business, I would guess, that someone wanted to have wayspots at work ....
edit: Found the canons real location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.503406,12.645967&z=17&pll=50.503406,12.645967

Real Location: roughly 50.5367,12.7805
The wayspot is an infoboard about "Georgenpark". In the map you can see there is "Georgenfriedhof" (Friedhof = cemetery) .... but this is a historical cemetery, so it's now used like a park. There is no other park named "Georgenpark" there. That this historical cemetery is meant can be seen at the portal picture: the shape of the park is the same like the shape of this cemetery (map on the infoboard is not oriented to north).

Fake-Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.542466,12.781513&z=17&pll=50.542466,12.781513
So all the fitness trail signs from the initial post (where I forgot this spot) have to be removed not only because they are located at the graveyard .... they are also fake located duplicates from another park. You can read "Rockelmann" on evry board. This is the name of another park....
All of the infoboards exist there already as wayspots. But one of them is placed totally missmatched to the paths there:
Title: Rockelmann Trimm-Dich-Pfad "Dehnübungen für die Beine"
missplaced location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=50.53234,12.781412&z=17&pll=50.53234,12.781412
Please move it this way. The path networks in the woods of this park is correctly shown on the IITC overlay. So it is placed somewhere in the middle of the forest, maybe blocked by fences around the are of the big open air stage. Please move the spot to the eastern direction. That this is a plausible location shows the wooden fence in the background of the portal picture - the fence is for sure the border to the gardening club area you can see there next to the path.
