Hi,  
I came across the same user and noticed that I had experienced a similar situation in the past. My own Wayspot had been copied, just like in the case described by the original poster.

> Hi everyone, I would like to draw attention to a series of suspicious Wayspot nominations I have repeatedly encountered while reviewing in Rüdersdorf, Brandenburg. Since staff members also read this forum, I hope the Wayfarer team might be able to take a closer look at these nominations as a whole. My concern started with a nomination in Rüdersdorf that used two photographs I had taken myself for one of my own Wayspot nominations in Berlin. Both of my photos had been copied and reused for a co…

I have split it to create its own topic to enable a focus on this case.
