Hi there! Just wondering, If I nominate a Pokéstop that I don’t know has already been nominated then it clears, mine is obviously a duplicate and should not then pass. Will my ranking suffer for this? Kind Regards P ---

Your ranking is only about your reviewing: your submissions have nothing to do with it. Duplicates happen all the time. If yours becomes a duplicate before it enters “In voting” status, you can withdraw it to keep from wasting reviewers time, but there is no repercussion on you either way. (Oops I was slower than Aaron XD) ---

Never slow down. There are some people out there who only accept answers from official Niantics. It’s always nice to see y’all engaging with us.
