Accepted Waysports Not Becoming Portals

I am aware that this is a known issue and NianticThia has posted an announcement in Ingress Forum. I am merely posting it here so that if someone else also faced the same issue in the last 24 hours, niantic might look into it.
I had submitted a lot of Wayspots over the past 2-3 months and most of them were "In Voting" for over a month. But suddenly everything started to get reviewed fast and many of them got accepted/rejected. Out of those accepted, few arent live in Ingress even though the nearest portal is outside 20m radius. From checking the cell information, i dont think it will come live in Pokemon Go so workaround by giving Like to the picture is Pokemon Go isnt possible. Since the eligibility of a Nomination to become a Portal/Pokestop via the Lightship is not yet made public, am gussing this is a bug.
Following are the Wayspots which are accepted but arent live in Ingress Portal Network:
- Maruthorvattom Post Office (9.663079374216377, 76.34765404127592)
- Nerchakozhi Sanketham (9.686244396083573, 76.34122310873283)
- Moolasthanam Shrine - Cherthala (9.686115832961384, 76.3415959357532)
- Bell Tower @ St.Mary’s Church (9.689077176963616, 76.33683737732434)
- Varanad Post Office (9.696211290152716, 76.36124548793225)
Please check them when the issue is identified, i have resubmitted the ones which are violating the cell rule of Pokemon Go hoping it will be live when its accepted the next time.

Same for me as well. In the past whenever I travelled, I used to take POI submission pictures to submit later. But now our submissions are getting wasted due to the way niantic is treating the effort we give. I have submitted a lot of POI. Many accepted POI are not active in any game.which makes it really frustrating. The unhealthy niantic methods making me regret the efforts that I have made in the portal network even more, than ever.
Few more places got accepted but aren’t available in Ingress even if it’s outside 20m radius. It most probably won’t be available in Pokemon go because of that cell rule.
I am not able to submit the ones which aren’t live in Ingress or Pokémon go, as it’s being shown as being present in that location during review. So it will get rejected as duplicate.
The portal discovered count isn’t changing in ingress as well after the portal comes live by giving like to the picture in Pokémon go.
I am assuming these are all known issues, but still places submitted from ingress getting accepted but not available in network is kind of annoying. Is there any update on these issues? @NianticAaron
Another one of accepted wayspots which arent live in Ingress :
just put a like in a pokestop photo and pop up the portal ;)
reports about this issue started over 90 days ago…..
As far as I know they are still investigating🙄
if there is no pokestop you can’t force this and the ingress players are not getting credited with the discovery.
Oh, how the tables have turned 🤣🤣🤣
Yup, that’s the case here. I can’t give likes in pogo as it’s not live in pogo as well. Also discoverer numbers aren’t getting added as well.
@NianticAaron @NianticTintino-ING
Is there any update on this issue? Many submissions which pass the 20m rule aren’t appearing in ingress; but when resubmitted, those are getting rejected as it’s available in Lightship.
I am not able to submit places which are close to these places as I don’t know what’s where anymore, which makes it harder to check distance.
Oh man, this thread is gold. On one side, it's sad to see the incompetence of a company when it comes to their own product. On the other side, it's actually quite hilarious to see the SAME INGRES FOLKS that have ALWAYS defended Niantic when their incompetence didn't affect them, now RABID and attacking Niantic (And rightfully so) because it's their turn to deal with their mistakes.

Ah but the funny part is that the places I have mentioned are missing in both Pokémon go and Ingress. So I guess it will be only advantageous for HPWU, oh wait, it’s getting retired.
I don’t know why you are calling Ingress players Rabid, you are posting using an Ingress id.
I'm pretty rabid about the non-appearance issues and its effects on Ingress, but like so many on these boards I'm an active player of both games. Issues in both games affect me, but the sync issues are a major bug in Wayfarer functionality and deserve prompt attention here.
I had a portal approved on 5th October that still hasn't appeared despite being outside of 20m to the closest portals. I think it was reviewed by Nia, and of course, it's an already occupied cell, so can't even do the thumbs up trick.
You clearly have no idea who this is then 😂
Oh I just noticed your comments on this thread and other posts. You should write a detailed post about how you are annoyed with everything that’s happening in the game and the indifference of Niantic, instead of comparing player base and creating some straw man and hitting that 😂😂
GIFFARD has actually requested feedback in PM. I sat down, wrote a concise text that outlines what i like, what i don't like, what could be improved AND suggestions on how to improve it.
Sadly, it's all still the same. Giffard acts as a middleman for the community and dev team to communicate, and vice versa, but the higher ups at Nia clearly don't care as much, even though my suggestions would improve player happiness AND generate more revenue for them. 🤷♂️
As for the Ing vs PoGo thing, it's been here since i joined, and it's only going to change when people's mentality changes. Since i have more hope of world hunger ending than i do in people changing their own beliefs, i'm just riding the wave and pointing out the hypocrisy. I know, it's a bitter pill, but that's all i have in stock right now.
At the end of the day they need profits, that’s why they are focusing on their cash cow more, retiring other games.
I just posted the discussion because since they introduced Lightship everything has gone haywire and one fix is reopening other bugs. So I am just making a track of place which are accepted but not in system , places when I submitted again getting rejected as duplicate etc. I couldn’t care less if the tables have turned against or sideways in ingress, I am just submitting places in pokemon go and ingress and the end result is same, it’s not coming live.
We are on the same side then. I'm not happy that stuff isn't syncing into Ingress, i find it extremely amateurish for a company this big to mess up this bad.
I have had 4 approvals in the last couple of days and not one of them has shown up and nor have I got a key for either of them.
I suggest not nominating until more of the promised updates and bugs are installed. At least, only nominate something that excites you enough to take the chance - knowing it could fall in a black hole for a while.
Another one to add to the list
Was accepted on 2021-11-11, still not a portal.
Anybody knows what is this about?
