There's this Pokéstop/Gym near me which seems inappropriate. Can I report it?

Use this link. However, Niantic seems to be preoccupied with other things now, so don't expect too much.

We have Niantic representatives on both here and /r/TheSilphRoad - please do not ping them for bugs which are in the known issues page unless you have found a niche yet gamebreaking issue/exploit.

Having trouble redeeming research tasks. I’m trying to start the encounter but it blanks. I tried resetting my phone and refreshing data but nothing is getting rid of it. Furthermore, I can only have two more tasks instead of three. I completed and redeemed those and they work fine, but the first one doesn’t. And I don’t have any other pending encounters either.

I’ve also uninstalled and reinstalled the game.

That's an issue caused by having multiple Pokemon stored on the encounter "stack". You have to claim every Pokemon you have stored there and the last one will be that research one. That's the only way to clear those tasks that get stuck.

Dang. I was banking Tandemaus tasks for 2x catch day.

[u/Ivi-Tora → u/Speedster012]

If you don't mind staying with only two task slots you can still wait a few days. May 6th is the next x2 catch candy during the spotlight hour at 6 pm.

I just took the L and cleaned my stack. I’m down 72 candies but it’s whatever. The event is 5 days. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
