Hello dear Niantic team,
I need your help again. Do you remember the 2 following threads?
https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/7140/remove-intentionally-misplaced-wayspot
https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/7761/another-intentionally-misplaced-wayspot
No?
Then I like to repeat myself again: A Pokémon player with an Ingress account from the village of Satow regularly places 2 fake wayspots on his house. Unfortunately, I can report this as often as I want and nothing happens.
After you successfully moved the wayspots "Gedenkstein" to the current coordinates "53.989329,11.89084" and "Alte Satower Kirche" to the correct location, he tried again and was successful. You are welcome to check the history of the 2 wayspots if you don't believe me. Again there are 2 fake wayspots at his house.
Fake: Satower Wappen - 53.989507,11.889589
Fake: Infotafel Satower See - 53.989739,11.889689
These 2 wayspots certainly exist - somewhere - but definitely not there! Please remove them and punish the submitter!
I'm tired of having to report this over and over again just because nothing is done.
Anyway, you wonder why the title of the thread says that a player is trying to influence the reviewer? Very easily. Today I received an application to move the location for evaluation - exactly for the first of the two mentioned fakes - in which the submitter brazenly claims the location is further to the right. After all, such description edits are prohibited. Apart from the fact that the location is not there at all, as I said, he is trying to move the wayspot into a new cell - I strongly expect a third planned fake.
Please finally do something about it!
Comments
If it is necessary, here you have the second rejection email:
The location doesn't make sense either. Why should an information board about the local lake hang on his house instead of somehow near the water such as the swimming area?!
Thanks for flagging, @Brukterra-PGO! I've escalated your report internally for review. We will follow-up as soon as we have more information to share.
I looked at this lost thread again. I am still very skeptical, but also unsettled. On closer inspection, the coat of arms could actually be there, in contrast to the information board. Check the person's submissions carefully.
@NianticGiffard
Thank you for not having dealt with the matter in the last 5 months. I went there today and can now say 100%: The wayspots are definitely fake! Photoshop to be exact.

I also created a photo sphere to prevent future fakes there. Incidentally, I discovered even more where there is a need for action - but I'll write that in the next comment.
When I looked around on site, I was amazed at the absurd number of Pokéstops and Gyms in the village and discovered the following:
All the wayspots around the lake are real - but although most of them are right next to each other, they were all submitted individually and massively far from each other so that every cell is occupied and everything appears in Pokémon Go. I ask for correction so that everything is in the right place!
Incidentally, this abuse comes from the same player who is constantly placing fakes in front of his house!

All 3 are right next to each other! Proof:
I had to take a photo of the pavilion from further away because people were sitting there. In any case, it is to the right of the sports equipment!

Incidentally, on the way there, I also found a single fake in another village, you can see from the photo that it was clearly photographed from the screen! Would be nice if you also remove that right away.

@NianticGiffard
The in-game report was rejected several times and now the fakes have been removed when a new report is made ?!
I still insist that the faker be warned! And also the other wayspots should be moved to their correct locations!
Edit:
I just looked at the Intel, you have already corrected everything! Thanks! I am now just waiting for your answer.
Hi there, @WayfarerMSE-PGO! We have reviewed the report and have taken action on the 8 Wayspots and 4 Wayfinders in accordance with our policies.

Thanks for helping us maintain the quality of the Wayspots.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
@NianticGiffard He doesn't seem to have understood what situation he is in. Please release this stupid faker from his torment ☺️

Take a close look at the left side of the following photo. There is a white / yellow stripe in the color of the wall all the way to the floor and that is not straight, but wavy. That's bad Photoshop. He doesn't learn from his mistakes and cheats again.

He claims in his additional declaration that the wayspot was deleted by a troll with AR scans and exists there.
My geotagged photos from last time should speak for themselves, right?
Please remove the submission from the system and warn him again (or, ideally, block him completely). He doesn't seem to have understood.
Thanks for following up. We'll have it investigated.
We have reviewed the reported Wayspot and have taken action on them and the Wayfinder in accordance with our policies.
Thank you. I will still keep an eye on the area.

@NianticGiffard He's got the fake accepted again. Please remove it again and finally block this account! There is still no mural there!
In addition, this guy has deleted my photosphere several times so that no one sees that he is cheating. Please finally punish him, he won't learn!
I've just reported the fake again in-game. It just sucks. Such people break the game, please do something about this cheater for good!
Thanks for the flag! We have retired the reported Wayspot and took action on the Wayfinder in accordance with our policies.
Thank you for your quick action! I still keep an eye on the area there.
