Hello. Some time ago my nomination was reported for - Place does not exist - Nomination includes hate speech. And my Pokemon GO account got 1-day strike for this. I am 100% sure this is mistake of the system. Here is my nomination: ![obraz](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wayfarer/original/3X/2/4/2470aee6171cefb2cf4be24eda17f220107d4929.jpeg) I dont know what it was flagged like that. One photo you can see “Pizzeria Pepperoni” sign which is also in this place on the google maps image - so this location is 100% real. Description says “Miejsce do spotkań i relaksu dla mieszkańców osiedla” which means “Place for local people to meet and relax together.” How is this offensive? ![obraz](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wayfarer/original/3X/c/e/ce348e672adaff16abaecb1aec4a957e0f6a82e9.png) Here you can see both reasons my nomination go reported and I got striked. 1. Zgłoszenie dotyczy najprawdopodobniej miejsca, które nie istnieje 2. Tekst lub zdjęcie zawiera wyzwiska, ośmieszanie lub nękanie określonej osoby lub grupy I pasted them in text here, if you want to translate them yourselves. Pleashe help me - what now? I love Wayfarering and adding new things to map but I dont want to risk my account. ---

Hey, First thung to.understand.for you is, that the abuse rejection reason list only examples what falls under abuse - it does not mean that your nomination fulfilled any or all of those listed ones like.hate speech within that reason ---

Hi @Magorx Often we see this come up when people aren’t using their own photos. Did you take the pictures for this nomination yourself or did you get them from a third party site? Third party photos aren’t allowed and are considered abuse. ---

Yes, I took this photo by myself. ![obraz](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wayfarer/original/3X/4/e/4e36ca2063aad0e4340d8e7716ec14515c2e6dca.jpeg) Here is fragment of gallery from my phone (Aparat in top part of image means “Camera” so those are photos taken by myself) ---

Since they got a location related rejection as well I would rule that out. A reverse image search yielded no results. The street view in some angles toward this location are from very different ages, where this business didn’t exist there yet, and in one that is 2 years old, the nominated space was not existent either, but was used to store the garbage bins. It would be a huge fail if this caused the penalty: https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=%213m2%212sen%214v0%216m8%211m7%211srJlkeZjq_Tww2w3PeGOgHA%212m2%211d52.6168137%212d19.0342884%213f246.04%214f9.657%215f0.9 ---

Yes, sadly google images here are old. Below I also added image from my phone’s galler - to give another proof that these photos were taken by myself and are not fabricated/third party. ---
