All of them are located here:
Now the rest of the abuse:
Sadly, I don't have made more photos/don't find more, the whole city looks like this:
I have added them on my PoGo tools, it looks like this:
And that was in June 2020 (the day I was there)
Additionally, the abusers tried to influence reviewers with messages on edits. All I remember was that I removed one of them which got approved onto this POI:

Still have the old mail but no other evidence:
Maybe it helps.
PS: Please don't warn me again for something like this, I haven't done any abuse there, all I did was increasing the quality of a POI.

Hello @LukeAllStars-ING, thanks for surfacing this! We'll have it escalated internally and follow up once we have details to share.
Hello,
but there is a problem. I checked all the other POI's and all other are existing in real and are NO FAKES. You only found the fakes. Lol. So there is no other problem.
Thanks
Well, a fully abused city? I mean, there are waaay too many PokeStops there.
Hello,
everything was created before Niantic changed the rules. Every POI really exist,because it is a tourist town. Why should Niantic delete all that beautiful POI's? Nothing is abused! You know other cities like Tokyo and so on. If Niantic would delete all that places Pokemon Go would be ruined. Please, think about a little moment.
Thanks
Sorry I don't know how to delete this post.
Thats actually wrong. I have been there two times: Summer 2017 and spring 2020. In Summer 2017, the city barely had any POIs. In spring 2020, the whole city was full of PokeStops. They were created at the wrong position to edit them later on. Thats abuse. And you should know that. At least you are the abuser :D
Hello,
LOL, that's not the point Niantic likes real POI's. All POI's are real and people love to see all the tourist signs. And only why you have a problem with that, Niantic should delete all and make it all less attractive? If that is the way Niantic will go, the game is lost. Thanks
Niantic should and would not remove them. However, they will propably tale actions against the ssubmitters.
Against the ABUSERS
The same in this case. If you submit something at the wrong location, its abuse.
Correct, just want to make it clear this IS abuse. And you are not reporting "real Poi's", like @Pinworld4Green-ING makes it seem, you are reporting the abuse.
If you only want to report the abuse, please report the whole world to Niantic. Lol. That all was finished before Niantic made all the rules. Before, it was no abuse and Niantic never says anything about an abuse. But where do you want to begin and where do you want to end? What about cities like Tokyo? You are reporting such a small town who has some players and fun with the game. It's not good, you want to make the players to give up there hobby, because it's unplayable why we are rural, because you are the only one who doesn't like what we built. It's so lol.
No the whole world doesnt abuse, don't justify your abuse because others do it, and ideally, yes we will report everything, you can help and find stuff to report as well. This abuse was never allowed, so there is no "before all the rules".
Hi @LukeAllStars-ING! We have reviewed the report and have taken action on the 5 Wayspots in accordance with our policies. Thanks for helping us maintain the quality of the Wayspots.
