Slightly disappointed by the sole amber traffic light but it only appeared today and is on the opposite side of the circle from where my bug was up on the fell
JCB May 2021 5:19am, 14 May 2021 2,409 posts	0 JCB What happens if you mark someone else’s bug as inaccessible? And is that ethical? As in CAndy’s pic? I’d think to just leave it alone.
P.DuB™ May 2021 7:37am, 14 May 2021 201 posts	0 P.DuB™ CAndy, you're not wrong about the relay, it's basically at the end of my road but i'd stopped the run further up the street, it's too late now though, someone's gone and scattered jewels all over the place again!
Snoot May 2021 7:42am, 14 May 2021 2,476 posts	0 Snoot That’s definitely a luxury having all those roads P.DuB!! Also wondered about marking others bugs inaccessible but decided to just leave them for now, if they don’t get cleared at least noting else goes there!
CumbriAndy May 2021 7:50am, 14 May 2021 2,384 posts	0 CumbriAndy Don't know what happens if you mark somebody else's bug as inaccessible. My thinking about leaving them is similar to Snoot's - while they're on the map they're not costing me anything, they're preventing other markers spawning in those spots and, if the owner doesn't care about the accumulating penalties then why should I worry?
Velociraptor May 2021 7:53am, 14 May 2021 52,622 posts	0 Velociraptor I seem to recall that if you mark someone else's bug as inaccessible it disappears and isn't regenerated. Although I sometimes mark jewels etc. in the sea as inaccessible I leave the bugs to live out their life cycle.
westmoors May 2021 8:14am, 14 May 2021 5,102 posts	0 westmoors My belief is the same as V'rap. Best to just leave them. JCB, have you considered taking up swimming, or windsurfing

Flatlander May 2021 2:21pm, 14 May 2021 2,044 posts	0 Flatlander Before going for my run this morning I checked the Fetchpoint map to see what was available. Oh goody, there's a diamond in a woods right next to my route, I'll pop in and get it. Before uploading my run, as usual I checked the map again. The diamond had gone! Its spot was taken by an inaccessible no-entry marker! Why? Why does the person (from outside my circle) who marked it as inaccessible think they know my village better than I do?
Bright Strider May 2021 4:50pm, 14 May 2021 208 posts	0 Bright Strider Hi Flatlander, I am sorry, about that. It was not done with reference to you. No I don't but I know it a bit. I thought it was inaccessible. Over that way, there is land that Google thinks is passable, but isn't. The 'private land' signs give me that impression. I have reported that as inaccessible on Google Maps, and my intendion was the same here.
