Hello!
Writing this as I want to warn Niantic about them putting a portal to wrong loaction after returning it to the game.
It is portal named "[ŠRC] Playground "Brda 1"" (43.522609,16.470189) and the portal's name before the name change was "Playground and street workout "Brda 1"" (43.52236,16.470514). The portal was reported by an agent because he thought it was invalid however after providing some valid proof, the portal got restored, but on the wrong spot.
Here are pictures with the portal in question and 2 nearby portals (as for an example):
This picture clearly shows the correct location:
And this is the satellite view of one part of the sports center which explains what is what:
By taking a closer look you could literally see a slide.
The correct location would be on location (43.522554, 16.469980). I'd happy if you moved it there.
Looking forward to hear from you soon. Thank you.

There was recently a Location Edit on this Wayspot ([ŠRC] Playground "Brda 1"), where the submitter was trying to influence reviewers via Description Edit as to where to move the Wayspot.
I guess it was done by VolimTablete88 since he/she instantly made an appeal.
This is forbidden by Niantic and is considered Wayfarer Abuse.
I did all those edits because I like turtles <3
Here is a screenshot of an Abusive Edit I was talking about in a post above:
I have several more screenshots of Wayfarer Abuse via Edits from the same neighborhood, probably all done by the same player.
Can someone from Niantic explain me how the user @Svizac28-ING is still reviewing portals? He openly admitted how he got banned from Wayfarer in Ingress forum. Take a look:
Guy breaking 10 rules in order to **** other person via portal edits / forum comments because he has nothing smarter to do.
Don't you see 80% of your requests get denied because they're just wrong? Most of the portal you managed to remove with mass reports via multiple accounts got brought back into the game via appeals, why even bother ?
Now that you have nothing else to report you managed to make a case on edits that literally 2+ years old and you think you know who did ALL OF THEM but yet you have no clue. How about you stop harassing people on forums and try playing your own game with your friends?
You can easily see the top of the trees in the picture and on the satellite view.
I agree it should't have description but since not everyone would know the place and sometimes people move it around as they wish, descriptions like this help guiding the review.
And @Svizac28-ING you're screenshot only helps @VolimTablete88-ING on the appeal since you're showing the portal picture and its fairly easy to say that the location is wrong right now. Since the playground is currently near the building and not so much trees around.
There are also 2 photo-spheres in the place, again, in the place @VolimTablete88-ING stated in the first place:

Appeal Accepted- Thanks for the appeal, Agent. Based on the evidence provided, we’ve moved the Portal to the correct location.
