Spamming invalid nomination

I have seen the same "little free library" over 6 times over the last few months.
One time they claim it's not on a private property, one time they claim it's a multi family residence, one time they claim it's a business...
@NianticCasey-ING @NianticGiffard @NianticEG Please check these nominations.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, @OrIando-ING! I'll be sharing your report with our team and will get back to you as we have more information to share.
Is it common that a home mailbox can be turned into little free library?
its not common, its abuse. A mailbox isnt a library in any way.
I don't know if it's common but I've seen a similar nomination before. That one was at least a bit more effort then just painting the mailbox but it was the same concept and fixed to the wall of what looked like a private home.
Hello @OrIando-ING! In order to address this location, please reach out to our dedicated team: https://www.pokemongolive.com/report-location Thanks
Thank you for the prompt reply @NianticGiffard but isn't that link for reporting existing POIs?
I checked the intel map and It doesn't seem to be one.
I just think something should be done about the submitter of these nominations so they would stop spamming the system.
Please let me know.
Thanks!
Spamming invalid nomiations =/= abuse
I think you misinterpretate that. I mean, they are free agreements. I wouldnt necesarrily speak of abuse.
It can be interpreted as abuse.

Other type of abuse
Any other type of abuse that you feel is not in keeping with the spirit of Wayfarer’s mission to create the most interesting, family-friendly, and accurate representation of the real-world.
This has been submitted several times and potentially falls under abuse outlined here:

Nominations submitted by accounts with a history of spamming inappropriate nominations
If we believe you are spamming nominations inappropriately, you will receive a warning and may lose nomination privileges for repeat offenses.
Easy Agreement or not, it's additional coal to sort that slows everything else down.
@NianticGiffard in addition to that being a form for existing locations, what is your advice you can give when the Niantic contact on the other side of the form says you must be the land owner / property manager to request modification?
Hi folks! We have reviewed the report and have taken action on the Wayspots and Wayfinders in accordance with our policies. Thank you!
If a location is owned or managed, it does not fall under invalid locations as described in this link: https://niantic.helpshift.com/a/pokemon-go/?p=all&s=in-game-locations&f=reporting-pokestop-or-gym-issues The concerned property owner needs to contact us for removing the in-game location from their property.
So then... Your advice to use the link above was incorrect?
The link serves for both players and property owners to contact for removal of in-game location from a property or location. Our concerned team will review them and we'll follow up as per the policy.
