Like you, I thought (for years!) that moving to an equally correct location, but one that would allow it to show in my game of choice was okay by the way this is worded:

Invalid location edits:
- Attempts to move the Wayspot to a location away from the object with which it’s associated (for example, moving the Wayspot to a different city/country) [italics mine}
But this comment on the old forum from staff was pointed out to me that unless it is a genuine correction it should not be moved:
Hi there,
The location of the pin should accurately reflect the Wayspot’s location in the real-world, regardless of whether it has converted into the desired in-app location or not.
As TheFarix-PGO said, location changes should only be submitted to make the marker more accurate or if the marker were to be closer to a logical point of discovery representing a larger location (e.g. a welcome sign for a large park).
And many other comments from staff have indicated that game manipulation is considered abuse. So I don’t do equally correct moves any more. Just ones that are clearly better placements.
