i wonder what the reason for that one is. Those are not stickers so can’t be seen as temporary.
if they go for ‘mass produced’ again, then they can remove everything. I mean, churches for example, they are every where. I think my small town already has at least 3. They maybe look different but all build with bricks. A lot of buildings are build with bricks.
joking of course, but the mass produced thing is also the really vague.

This action by Niantic and the Wayfarer team is rather troubling, especially given that communications with the community will become obsolete with forums discontinuing in the near future. I personally have over 32k reviews, over 700 portals (not including from my linked Pokemon Go account), and actively look to add and enhance the community by submitting quality submissions through the Canada and the US (soon to be Europe). I recently submitted trail portals in a local state park, that 97% of them passed. The trail markers submitted entailed the park, and encourages exploration & exercise (which, meet criteria). I submitted in the location because Red portals are fairly active, ultimately creating a Machina farm. I opened Pokemon Go, and created about 4 gyms that I noticed. I personally would ride my mountain bike, throughout the trails on a weekly basis, and when I went there today, over 40 portals were removed, including the older portals submitted ten years ago. I personally find the clarification of trail guidelines convoluted and contradictory, and the removal of portals with little, to no notification, interesting at best, I recently completed the survey before this incident, and my answers would be significantly different if I took the survey today.

Somebody at Niantic typed up a whole bunch of rules and requirements relating to Routes that included language banning proselytizing. They want their stuff to appear either neutral or positive for the community as a whole. It won't be a positive look if factions are fighting over title/description edits.

Can you think of a single other company where users aren't able to view their reports or tickets? Or sends no no email or text about its resolution?
