Anyway to see places that have already been added that are "locked" cause of levels?
Hello! I was wondering if there is any real way to check if a place you know the location of has already been added despite it being too high of a level? The new location tool does seem to pick up on a existing location if you select close to it, but it seems to have a very small radius and if you are anywhere outside this tiny radius it counts it as a new place (as I tested it with a level1 place I knew the location of and the side garage counted as a new place but the main building was where the pin/cords were). I only ask this cause I don't want to flood the site with a bunch of clones, but at the same time I don't want to spend 20 minutes testing the whole lot to see if it exists. I only discovered this cause the first place I went to add was a small chruch and basically was the side of the pin radius but was a level3 so its why I can't see it in the list already. But in other cases like mansions and hotels its harder to get this luck cause of there size.
Thank you in advanced and have a great day!

Ground State no worries Yours is far more descriptive and better worded lol .
Just add it , if it exists it'll get merged.
^^ this. admins can merge galleries to other locations, so it's really not an issue if it's a duplicate.
If you manage to successfully create a clone of a location by targeting it slightly outside the existing radius, a moderator will quickly pick up on it and merge your photo gallery with the existing location. If your description is not just a generic description, we will also often cut-and-paste your description onto the existing description for the location, separating them with a broken line, etc. and giving you credit for the portion that you wrote. It is understandably a bit of a let-down when you post a real gem that you've been holding on to, only to discover that the location exists. I've been in that same situation many times over the years!
I remember when I was in that situtation from 13 different places in one day. But yes theres no concern abt it

What the heck? That was strange. Sorry TheEasyKaybreezy and DAExplores. Your responses only showed up after I responded to Iron Hawk's message and joined the conversation. I wouldn't have repeated the same as what you already said.
