I came across this edit review yesterday and took a screenshot to show a friend. I wasnt sure what to do because the edit was for the description I think-nothing to do with the image. I think I reported it in the end, but can’t remember
Today my friend saw another of these, and shared the picture with me. They reported it already.
Is there anything that can be done to remove these images and check if there are more being submitted? I’m sorry that I dont have the details for the waypoints but maybe there’s a way to find the photo submitter based on the title of the edit review?
The waypoints themselves seemed fine, just with these bad images added

Well if 2 of you have seen them, I can guarantee there are more of these out there.
I always assume this is the work of some kid thinking they are being clever.
@NianticAaron please figure out who is submitting these very obviously doctored images and just straight up ban them. (Oops, did I say that out loud?) Apply whatever punishment you see fit.

I think it might be nice if that photo editor had a “break” from being able to edit waypoints for sure
Whoever submitted the 2nd photo didn’t even try to hide the fact that it was photoshopped…
Found the first one Angmering Village Historic George V Postbox

That’s a better image than the other one, even if the Pikachu is removed.

We removed or rejected the images that violated our policies, and we took the necessary action against the Wayfinder. Thanks for helping us maintain the quality of the Niantic Wayspots.
Best,

Nope, just a handful of them and we have removed them.
