Duplicate? Why?

Hi. I proposed to add some pokestops and community made decision, that pokestops are “duplicate”. Sorry, what? Pokestops not exists in Pokemon Go game. And not duplicated nearest Pokestops.

I tried explain my frustration about decissions by pressing “apprale” button, but final decision again - dublicate.

For what I waste my time and trying find historical information about interested places, and receiving “duplicate” decision where it is no duplicate?

Seriosly, I not have motivation add new interested places into game, because community rejecting my proposals with answer “duplicate”. }:frowning:

And decission “duplicate” not explain rejection decision. Duplecate of what object I want to know.

Welcome to the forum @Nostalgator !

I know the prompt tells you that you are submitting a Pokestop, but you actually are submitting Wayspots to Niantic’s Lightship database. Only Wayspots that are alone in a level 17 S2 cell will be added to Pokemon Go. A good article about S2 cells is this one: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/

You can check in the nomination screen while you are on site to see if a Wayspot already exists with the toggle in the map screen. Wayspots that are not being used for Pokemon Go will show as !

Sorry for the frustration, but hopefully this will help for the future!
