These are some of the edits that were cited in Wayfarer since 26/01. Someone in Lithgow, NSW has been editing numerous wayspots to insert the personal information of a local Pokemon Go player named Jay Kipp.
Because it is in a corner S2 Level 6 cell, these are routed to everyone extremely quickly with priority. And frankly its getting rather annoying.
Please action this report to remove these pending edits from the system and "take action on the wayfinder". No one should have to deal or put up with a dumb things like this.

When evaluating an edition you have an option to report abuse at the bottom right and you can select personal information and leave a comment about why you think it is personal information, I do not think that this will suspend the player since I had to report several times and never succeeded
It is unfortunate that we could report this as abuse as much as possible, but we will never know if anything is done. We just have to trust that Niantic has taken appropriate action, but you can never tell they actually made an attempt unless they have mentioned so here.
The transparency is not very... transparent. Anyway, here are a whole bunch of other stupid Lithgow edits for your action Niantic.
There seems to be another one named Michelle Pateman. I believe these two are married.
STOP THIS.
Seeing as someone has already responded to an abuse/offensive title within a day of another post, do I really need to tag someone from Niantic about this? Jay Kipp and Michelle Pateman are two Pokemon Go players in Lithgow who are mass-editing everything in the area to include themselves in every description. I think thats abuse enough. I hate feeling ignored.

Reminds me of "Jegum". Someone who took poor POIs under his control by writing anything with Jegum in the title.
Already reported him away. He is luckily quiet now.
