I have been dealing with what I strongly believe are users with multiple accounts for over six months.
I have reported them through the in-game system and the official support page multiple times, but I have not seen any changes.
Is there anything else I can do?
Also, if anyone has successfully reported multiple accounts and seen action taken, could you share your experience?
There is also a possibility that these accounts may be involved in PokéStop submissions or interactions.
That is why I am asking this question in the Wayfarer community.
Firstly, welcome to the community. Niantic / Scopely already has measures in place that deals with multi-accounters. If you believe there is someone who is a multi-accounter, the only thing you can do is report and hope. In terms of Wayspot nominations, if you believe there is a Vote Rigging or demonstratable fake nominations, you should by all means report it.
Other than hunting them down and breaking whatever laws are in your location, there isn’t much more you can do.

Hello and welcome @malonmilk777
Multi-accounting is clearly against terms of service.
It is taken seriously.
You can report the use to the wayfarer team by using this form.
The team will investigate their wayfarer activity.
If they are found to be in breach of the rules of wayfarer any sanctions are applied to wayfarer and game accounts.

You could report them but you must know that multi account is one of the hardest to proof (sometime people misunderstood wife/children account as multi). Especially because you may not have all proof and only circumstancial evidence. Distinguishing multi account and family member might be even harder if its using multiple device. However, review circle is easier to detect and subject to suspension in abuse ladder system.
If you are looking for Pokémon GO action I’m afraid this is a bit outside of the scope of this forum.
For Wayfarer it’s as it has been said above - your best avenue is the form that’s been shared.
Thanks, I understand. I had tried the URL that was shared earlier, but it didn’t help.
From a Wayfarer point of view the issue with multi-accounts is most likely to be a voting ring leading to invalid wayspots.
If you have a group of invalid wayspotsI find the best thing is to report them together as that gives the analyst more context. You can do this through the Reporting Abuse link.
For example, give a description that all these wayspots are invalid and you believe there is a voting ring in the first box, and in the second box give the wayspot name, coordinates and a detailed explanation about why that particular wayspot is invalid (use the Wayfarer Map to find the coordinates and names, but don’t report multiple wayspots through the map is my advice).
