Recently I see that many POI in Almaty (KAZAKHSTAN) had changed their names to ridiculous ones. I understand that there are idiots who make that for fun. But who APPROVES those changes? Can you Google Maps people track that?

Of course you don't know the name of the "spammers", I agree
One of the option in the post that I linked to you is to report the issue here, like you did @YerlanB
I wanted to be sure that you were aware about different procedures (that I already shared to you long time ago), and I tagged a CM for you just for having an help

Hi @YerlanB,
Thanks for reporting. We are on this.
Would you mind providing a Google Maps link to all the hijacked POI`s that you have found?
I understand the situation is frustrating, but i would like to ask you to keep the good tone on Connect.
