Mass PokéStop/Wayspot Fraud and AI AbuseCoordinates

Location: 21.006046, 83.057825 (approximately)

Description of Abuse:I am reporting a network of 6-8 fraudulent Community-contributed/some pokestops created by a single local player using generative AI tools. Attached are two examples of live Wayspots in this cluster: “Wings of Vision – Kalam Wall Art (Nominated)” and “Mary Kom Wall Art (Currently in Nomination)”.As you can see in the photos, the background wall, the specific cracks in the concrete, the weathering stains, and the pavement bricks are perfectly identical.

The user has used AI image editing software to digitally alter the content of the mural while using the exact same physical background to spoof multiple stops in the area.

Please manually review this entire localized cluster, remove the fake locations, and investigate the submitting player’s account for severe location fraud.

These are some other created by pokestops places images by him

MOD EDIT: removed personal information

So Your saying is this not AI images? is it okay to use AI images for pokestop nominations simply I reviewed 4-5 of his pokestop nomination. I’ll leave it for 4-5 after that he/she spamming pokestops using AI images non stop.Im okay for ban me but this type AI slops looks frustrating while reviewing the nominations

??? I did not say this. My comment was just that you should not use the username in your post. I removed this comment when the Moderator removed the username from your post.

Fake nominations are abuse, so I’m glad these were removed and that action was taken against the submitter of the fake nominations.
