Inactive waypoint mislocated AND no longer existing, but the report has been denied

  • Wayspot Title: Secretary Bird by Mack Colours
  • Location (lat/lon): (55.829742,-4.283266)
  • City: Glasgow
  • Country: UK
  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email:

Additional info / evidence:

Not sure what to do with this one, as the report has now been rejected twice. As you can see from the pics, it’s inactive, but is also in the wrong place AND has been painted over.

So as it stands, I cannot move it and I cannot add the new mural’s picture.

Is it possible to just delete this waypoint so I can start afresh by subbing the existing mural located about 15 metres away?

And just for additional clarity, the red is the Waypoint’s current location, while green is where it used to be / where the newer mural actually is.

(The houses to the left are flats, btw, not single family residential). :sweat_smile:

That is correct. In past Street View imagery, the mural was indeed at the green location. However, in the latest Street View, it has been replaced by a different mural.

Yes, that’s what I’m saying. The current location of the waypoint is at the red cross, which is incorrect.

The current mural is of a blue t!t and is at the green cross.

Nothing has ever been located at the red cross.

Also, LMAO at that bird’s name being blocked :joy:

This wayspot has moved. Red marker - where it was. Purple circle - where it is now.

Submit a new photo for the latest mural and all is good. Murals are semi-immune from repurposing, so the secretary bird haven’t been replaced with a t!t is perfectly OK.

Unfortunately it is still marked as inactive, so I cannot add a new photo.

Oh, I had failed to notice that. It’s the only wayspot in that cell. Maybe it will get reactivated in a couple of days, but if it doesn’t and Scopely Explore don’t reverse the inactive status, that cell is effectively dead.

You will not be able to get that wayspot removed so that you can resubmit it, because the wayspot is valid.

:frowning:

Staff please correct me if this is wrong, but couldn’t the new mural be submitted at the correct place anyway while trying to figure out what is happening with the old wayspot?

It is showing as a live pokestop on Map - Pokémon GO fwiw

Ah ok, maybe staff have fixed it on the quiet (or maybe the rejection email was misleading (again!)), and the wayfarer map is just slow to catch up…

I’ll drive past on my way home and check!

That does happen :wink:

Yeah, looks that way:

Thank you, mystery Scopley person.

Thanks for the appeal, @00witsd! We took another look at the Wayspot in question and decided that it does not meet our criteria for removal at this time. However, we’ve moved the Wayspot to the correct location.
