Abuse of positional editing

The following positional edits were confirmed multiple times during the review.

Title of the Wayspot: 古市集会所

Location:https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=34.458178,132.473936&z=18&pll=34.457561,132.4743

City: 広島県広島市

Country: 日本

A check on Street View shows that the current location is correct. It seems to have been edited many times, deliberately planning to move it to the west.

Some of them have been moved on the road or inside buildings, which is clearly inappropriate.

Please investigate these edits.

    Appears to be an attempt to move the Wayspot into a different S2 cell, probably so that it will show up in Pokemon Go since it shares an L17 cell with 古市のちびっこ広場. This definitely meets Niantic's definition of "abusive location".
