i’ve been reviewing waysposts nominations since the start of December, and i’ve seen in the last week more fake nominations than during the whole month of December. Is there a rise in people putting fake submissions, was December just a calm period, or is it in the way nomination reviews works ?
Also I sometimes see a review where not only my nomination is fake but all the others wayspot in the area are also clearly fake submissions. And while I can’t report the one i’m reviewing, is there a way to report the other waysposts too ?
Hi,
You can report is as abuse during the review period, if it looks particularly bad it might be worth posting it here. There’s a thread about a similar case here - Fake nomination? - #41 by shritwod
We have been promised a Wayfarer map at some point, if you do see fake nominations it might be worth recording the wayspot name and address to see if it gets accepted.

Welcome to the forums 
I’ve posted here when I see lots of dodgy existing wayspots. In my case, it was wayspots on school property, but I would do the same for fake wayspots.
In situations like yours, I would reject as Abuse, but first note down details of the local existing fakes and create a post on this forum.
Use the “Reporting Abuse” link in the header of this forum.
You can also use this for the thing you are reviewing.
