Current Wayspot Description: Ex-Flight School, now a community centre & in home aged care facility. Also supports; +50 exercise groups, social and art therapy groups.
Your Edit: Cara & Co, Community Centre
Supplemental Information: As is stated above this Waypoint has not been a flight school for a long time I was just updating it to the community centre it now is. I do not understand if that is repurposing. But this is the website with their address where the waypoint is
Wayspot Coordinates: 27.41375°s, 153.04317°e
36 Rose St, Wooloowin QLD 4030
It’s a pretty popular gym because a bunch of buses go past and a school is nearby. Probably why nobody has updated it but I didn’t think it would make someone remove it. What’s the harm in just changing the name or picture. Isn’t that the point of having edits?
It would seem like a sensible change, given that the community center is still eligible and it would be ideal to retain the gym. Some people think it’s the height of criminal activity though
Hi @NoThanks
Welcome to the forum
Niantic wants that every POI is judged on it’s own. That’s the reason why this is called repurposing.
Repurposing is currently only allowed in cases of graffiti.
Editing is for more accuracy.
The original Wayspot was connected to “Queensland Aerospace” which is no longer there. There is a completely different business at the location. The correct way would be to report the current Wayspot and submit the new business for the community to vote and decide if it should be approved.
I think the confusion is that some people think of the Wayspot as the thing that was approved, and other people think of the Wayspot as the thing that is there now when they interact with it in game.
The wayspot description implies that it’s a community centre that used to be called Queensland Aerospace though, so surely it could legitimately be titled as the community centre too?
This is why you need to publish and publicise a guide on edits about what you want and what you don’t want, because this is all really unclear especially where other edits and/or duplicate submissions have gone through in the meantime.
Every Wayspot is a pastiche whose pin-location may have been altered by reviewers and might be associated with photos from other nominations through the marking of duplicates. We do not know who has edited the information, nor when, nor why.
No single explorer knows how your rules affect whatever it is that they encounter in situ. Does the primary photo define the Wayspot? It’s a building dubbed “Queensland Aerospace” and has historic connotations.
Perhaps the supplemental info holds the key to the purpose of the venue? We wouldn’t know, as we do not have access to that information after voting ends.
Ownership and business records are not attached to the entry. Must we hire lawyers to aid us in keeping your database up to date?
You seem to be attempting to hold us accountable for information that you are simultaneously withholding from us. To date, you’ve even declined to reply to a question directed at you by name regarding a particular pub that appears to have simply had a same-ownership-makeover-and-name-change.
If you cannot articulate the rules, we cannot follow them.
Thanks for this answer. I came to the forum with the exact same question.
Well, it’s the exact same question except that I don’t have a Queensland Aerospace in my town. Just a cafe under new ownership with a new name. But presumably the same principle applies.
