Duplicates
So I initially picked up Ingress to fill out my city for PoGo. I accidentally ended up loving this game more so that's cool. But I still decided that I'd submit a ton once I hit 10 in August.
It appears that a lot of the things I submitted were submitted by seasoned players going through the area earlier in the summer. I'm expecting at least 12 duplicates at the moment once the dust settles 🙃 Reviews take 3-7 months here.
Do I have anything to worry about? I really want to do OPR when I hit 12 and would hate to be penalized for submitting things that were in review with no way for me to know.

No the duplicates won't count against you in any way. The only thing that is and is rarely used would be things marked as "abuse"
Awesome, I'll keep submiting then!
Do note though that the more submissions you have that have the possibility of being a duplicate, the more your upgrades is going to be useless.
Other than that, there is no penalty whatsoever. Keep up the good submissions!
There are no impacts for duplicate submissions except for losing the slot for two weeks. Glad to hear you're enjoying Ingress for Ingress! When you take the OPR test be sure to read everything carefully and make sure you're up to speed on all the different categories and criteria etc, in the Help, FAQ, and Guide.
When it's marked as duplicate in OPR, it will add your photo to the portal, so not a complete loss.
If you got back to those portals and find you took a better picture, you can like your pic and get it moved to the front so it becomes the face of the POI
