I need help withdrawing a wayspot stuck in voting for almost a month

hi yall, i submitted the ‘‘Area picnic-quartiere san gennaro’’ wayspot on the 5th of march and it’s been stuck in voting for around 20 days. i don’t feel confident in the submission anymore and i would like to withdraw it but it has already hit voting and has been stuck there for around triple the time of any other submission i posted. can someone help me withdraw it or do i have to wait more? thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forums :slight_smile:

Once a submission has gone into voting, it cannot be withdrawn because that would be unfair on the reviewers who have already reviewed it. In order to get an agreement (or not), there has to be a voting result.

It won’t hurt you at all if the submission is rejected, so you will be no worse off letting it run through than if you could actually withdraw it.

However, if the submission is abusive (e.g., deliberately submitted at the wrong location), then you would do well to contact help chat (Niantic Wayfarer and click the help bubble at the bottom right) and explain the situation before voting finishes.

Hey @LunaticLunii ,

Welcome to the Wayfarer Community Forum.

I see that your submission is getting voted on normally and is very close to reaching a decision. I recommend that you wait for it to reach a decision.

Best,

oh okay! i can attach pictures. i placed it via phone while going to get the bus to go home so i dont know

hii! so youd say i should wait it out? bc its getting me a bit stressed ngl it never happened before… then again i am a paranoid person, so…

Wait :slight_smile:

It’s eligible, correctly located and I can’t see anything wrong with the details you posted.

Also, you have just effectively been told that it’s going to be accepted, if you read between the lines.

It’s completely normal. There is nothing to worry. Some contributions take longer than others.

Advice when submitting on the move, and even when stationary - always always always check the location carefully. Never ever rely on what your phone’s GPS has come up with.

It’s what I go through when my stuff go to Niantic Review… Being patient is of a virtue, even if it gets rejected.

Keep us updated.

We are confident so if it is rejected we promise to boo the staff :smirking_face:

Edit: Just realised that it is probably not the staff that is Voting so we will boo in the general direction…

@LunaticLunii 20 days is really nothing, old schoolers like myself have had to wait 6-8 months for nominations to resolve. 20 days was a blessing back in the day.
