Not trying to be funny or anything but I submitted a pokéstop a number of months ago and it was apparently accepted, even though it’s never appeared on the map (and still isn’t there) but next to where I attempted to create a pokéstop, someone has managed to create a random one with gibberish.
I also submitted a new image for a pokéstop nearby this one, it was accepted, but the image has never changed.
I also experienced issues trying to update the name and photos of another pokéstop at the nearby pub, and that was rejected twice (accepted when I made a forum post complaining).
I seriously think that there’s some kind of blacklist on my account or something. Or whatever I do is inherently ‘wrong’ somehow. Since other submissions by other players nearby have had no issues
Selecting an image will show you the amount of votes each image has. The picture with the most votes should then become the stop image. There is an old bug that effects I think pre 2019 votes where some votes are hidden.
Unfortunately I can’t post my code or I would happily help you out by voting on images that need updated via gifts you send me.
Going by the Rainbow seat the nearby vicinity has
Rainbow seat and Woodland Dolphins sharing the same cell.
NHS Heroes and Woodland Walk Tree sharing the same cell.
There be dragons and Wizard of the wood sharing the same cell.
This is how Go uses cells to limit the number of stops appearing
