hello, I received a warning on my account following a submission for a misplaced wayspot. I believe there was an error with this and I am hoping to see if I can talk to someone to clarify.
My suggested wayspot was this garden: this is my photo:
Below is a screenshot of Google Maps the red marker is the location of the farmers market the garden is adjacent to the pergola north of the parking lot
I did see the button in the email to appeal but I wasn’t sure if it would be a person reviewing that and the wording of “you have only one appeal” is scaring me a bit.
Would someone be able to reach out to me to discuss this?
Worth emphasising this. There have been a number of cases where the pin has either snapped back to the spot the submitter was standing when the photo was taken (some kind of photo geo-tagging issue) or where submitters have accidentally brushed the map and moved the pin at the last moment before submitting.
I think that when you upload a photo to a draft, the location always changes to the photo GPS location (if it has one), without warning/confirmation etc.
Yeah, I’ve heard this, but I don’t think mine have GPS embedded by default (and I’m not messing with that setting!), so I’ve not experienced it personally.
Thank you for all who have taken the time to respond and offer suggestions /support.
I looked for the confirmation email to determine the coordinates but I don’t seem to have it anymore. I did take the photo of the garden basically standing about 4 inches from the garden fence so I don’t know that it would be a GPS tagging issue.
I looked at my submission, not realizing there would be additional information there and I am now even more confused. It says that the spot does not exist and that my photo or text were abusive

Hi Cyndie, I hadn’t been there in a while either … so much construction! I didn’t realize there were other gardens, I just theiught this would make for a pretty and interesting stop so I decided to submit. Regretting that now.
Coordinates would have been better, but if you go into wayfarer → contributions → not accepted, you should be able to see a map of where you placed the pin.
I think this rejection is a combination of street and satellite view not matching what is there now and the slight mispin. It did go a little awry, but does not look like intentional abuse to me, and the pin shifting is happening to a lot of people (including me) adjusting to web submit. Your supporting photo that you showed here convinces me there are planter boxes by the building you indicated.
The link you provided is showing pictures of the garden to the west, so that may have actually hurt your submission.
So I can understand why reviewers thought this did not exist here.
If you only got the abuse rejection, but did not get follow up emails about abuse, then I don’t think you need to worry. It is just a rejection. Staff will respond here and let you know.
I have notes about some stuff I wanted to check out over there to submit if they ever completed the construction. Maybe it is safe to head over now?
lol Aaron had already reached out to you before I finished typing that post that he would! So glad this is resolved. Ping me on Discord if you want to avoid overlapping our efforts!
