Hello,
i’ve read Wayspot clone - #9 by Gatsu8618 and i have a similar issue.
I cant propose a wayspot because there are clones present in lightship db and appears during wayfarer review. That’s why my proposal as been marked as duplicate, but it doesn’t exist neither in pokemon go neither on ingress.
The locations are:
45.578926, 9.064173
45.578912, 9.064181
Could you please bring alive one of them or remove them so i can propose a new one?
Thanks a lot
This can be a confusing issue but this is likely working as intended. Each of Niantic’s games has either a distance or density check to see if a wayspot accepted to the Lightship database will appear on the game board(s). In this instance your wayspot may have just failed these distance/density checks.
Yeah, this seems like a similar issue. The Wayspot should not have been added to the database as it appears to be on private residential property (please do not try to resubmit it), and yet it has mistakenly appeared in the database twice. Definitely another report for @NianticAaron to look into.
May I ask one question?
The other day I happened to be checking the AR scan data for each wayspot in the Wayfarer application and the Lightship database, and I happened to find a hidden wayspot that does not exist there.
Since it is not shown in the game, I cannot report its deletion.
Also, the wayspot is apparently an attempt by someone living in the vicinity to create a false home wayspot by placing an object in a temporary location, which was inadvertently approved by Emily or the community.
Can you please tell me how to deal with these hidden but false wayspots?
