Theres a burden of proof, if you know something was removed, then you should be able to provide proof it was removed, otherwise how did you know in the first place?

I am basing my opinion on Leedle95’s speculation.
As you can see from the wayspot photo, there is indeed a building in the immediate vicinity, but the satellite photo does not show this building.
Therefore, I cannot go so far as to prove that this wayspot does not exist, but it is quite possible that the location information differs by more than 10 meters.
And that is a current issue in Wayfarer.
But it’s also possible that a Supporting photo was provided that helped prove location. We don’t have to place doubt and cast speculation at everything.
Note that with his Google Earth works and the tilt view, it’s likely the pin is closer to the building than it looks in the screenshot above.

Maybe it’s underneath trees? The trees in the wayspot pic have no leaves but they would grow back in the spring, and you can see a long pole-like shadow, could be of a tree.
And thats why there’s a burden of proof… so tgat theres not something out of nothing… nothing to see here, all good
And I didn’t say it wasn’t there just maybe misplaced.
Hi. None of your discussion about Pokemon GO is relevant to Wayfarer. Please stop posting images of game play.
All I did was post one picture, what do you mean??!!
I’m a bit taken aback and confused.
There have been huge quantities of references to Ingress-only terms and concepts, here, with plenty of links that only open in Ingress.
Ingress isn’t central to the spatial database. How come we have to hear all about resonators, portals, drones, XM, etc., while the OP is taken to task for enthusiasm about the other game?
A major problem with Niantic’s position regarding POIs on posted or gated private property is that it can be nearly impossible for the wider community to detect and prove that it is absent.
Any normal Wayspot can be approached for GPS-photos by any member of the public. Here we’re just accepting someone’s word that there is valid stuff under the trees.
The smaller and more exclusive the enclave, the less chance the public has to make their case.
