I love making big fields, but how would I do that without portals? I've also created over 100 portals, and have over 10,000 OPR agreements, and that's peanuts compared to several other agents in my area, alone.
-
No, we will not approve your truck as a wayspot.
-
Hack a portal where you are now. That should reset your playing area.
-
@Tasatail-PGO make sure to check Ingress before submitting. That wayspot is already live.
-
Howdy @NianticEG this ended up settling out a few months ago. Stops eventually caught up to their relocated Ingress counterparts. Thanks for the follow-up.

"Additional information: Earlier this year I nominated this monument to be a Pokestop. I was very surprised when I received an email saying that it is a duplicate. This Pokestop is a portal in Ingress, but in Pokemon Go, it's not a Pokestop. When you open the app, there is nothing there. It's not just me, my friends also…

So remove all Pokemon Go POI and start from scratch? Why would anybody want that? Without agents, Pokemon Go players would have had no stops, aside from the initial seed portals. I started playing Pokemon Go, and have many, many agents to thank for their efforts in adding portals. Even if all of them didn't make it into…

No. This is a horrible idea. Even if some of these edits are made in good faith, there will inevitably be movements that are affecting acceptably placed portals in order to gain more stops, and this can affect the gameplay of Ingress. Links are taken down on successful moves, potentially ruining a well-planned operation.…

If your Pokemon Go submission is accepted, it goes through the following checks: Check distance from existing Ingress portal. If not too close: it is added to the Ingress Intel Map and Scanner. There is a check to see how far that Ingress portal is from an existing Pokemon Go POI. If it's not too close, then it will be…

My wife and I both review on our own Wayfarer accounts. We don't review on each other's. I've never come across one of her submissions during review, nor has she come across mine.
-
In Spanish, you have a very different meaning of that word, if "ñ" is not used.
-
The Wayspot there is for the artwork at the business, not the business itself. Discounting anything related to the sponsorship deals, and whether Niantic and SBux agree to add something there, that would likely not meet criteria for removal.
-
Same in our community. We gained 4 gyms in our area, and made sure to select locations that were either in the park, or on the main street area. It allowed for them to be enjoyed by more people in safe, well-lit areas with pedestrian access that could accommodate crowds.
-
Your submission was accepted, and is in the portal network. Not sure what you're appealing. Edit: I see that field 6 was the nomination now. Re-submit it.
-
I submit a lot of playgrounds because they're easy to find on Satellite view, so I can plan ahead before I go hunting for new portals
-
In the old criteria, they were considered straight generic businesses. In the new criteria, you could probably make an argument for it, but...end of the day, it's whether reviewers have familiarized themselves with the new criteria. I also agree with the others in this thread: That photo is doing zero favors for your…

This does not seem abusive.
-
Other Wayfinders have received rejection emails that state: 'Object does not appear to be visually unique'. Since that's not one of the 1* rejection reasons, it's been concluded that enough 1* within that category can cause a rejection.
-
Generic business. Wayfinders have nothing to do with Niantic sponsorship deals. If more Starbucks are going to be put into Pokemon Go, that's entirely outside of our role.
-
A lot of my Wayfarer submitting is going through Satellite photos and finding easy, obvious things that should be in game, but aren't...especially in suburban/rural areas. Playgrounds are some of my normal targets. But, in my travels I find some cool stuff that I never expected to find: A church steeple turned into a…
-
I have not used Pokemon GO to submit for quite some time, but had consistent issues with this same thing happening when I did: Take photo, crash. Rinse/repeat. I've never had Ingress Prime crash during this process.
-
Submit the bridge, bruv
-
Not that unlikely. There's a shopping center in the Baltimore area, and the shop owners got fed up with Pokemon Go players (this was in the early days of the game), and got the stops removed. The portals still exist in Ingress, but the stops are removed from Pokemon. I believe that area is geofenced now to prevent new…
-
Fitness centers and gyms tick the boxes of social gathering places, places for exercise. They don't seem to meet any rejection criteria, unless they're on the campus of a k-12 school, or a chain/franchise that is not locally unique.
-
There are portals that met criteria at one point, but no longer do. They're more-or-less grandfathered in.
-
Not always. There have been instances of Pokestops being removed due to complaints, but Ingress portals remaining on their gameboard.
-
-ING staff show Ingress players preferential treatment? That's news to me.
-
You should proceed by reviewing, earning upgrades. Also, encourage others in your area to review. If people only submit, but nobody reviews, then nominations won't be processed.
-
This is a good question for the Wayfarer team, possibly the Ingress and Pokemon Go teams, as well. Your case sounds unintentional, but I know that Niantic doesn't want someone reviewing under 2 different Wayfarer accounts. The remedy in your case would be to combine both under one email...not sure what the end-result would…

Get more people in your area reviewing. Upgrade your submission that's in voting.
