Ingress Last Sync - Discussion

Welcome to the forum!

Did you submit in Ingress? That is now a completely separate process from Wayfarer. Scopely bought Pokemon Go and Wayfarer, but Niantic - now NianticSpatial - still owns Ingress and is setting up a new process.

I did send it in threw the Ingress app but yeah does not show as pending or anything in voting on the site itself. . .it was just an observation

They are discussing how the new Ingress Prime process works on this thread:

Since this is nothing to do with Wayfarer, a mod may want to move this observation to that thread.

Yes since this related to ingress issues post split I shall move it

Ingress submissions go /somewhere/. The hope is that this isn’t a black hole and that they will reappear in an interface somewhere where they can be approved (or denied) by some people in some manner at some time.

What is definite is that submissions in Ingress have nothing to do with Wayfarer or Pokemon Go - they are strictly for Ingress Portals. To get a wayspot (and potentially a gym/pokestop), you need to resubmit through Pokemon Go.

As this thread is kinda being used as an unofficial Ingress thread, I appreciate Atlas dropping the web form for removals in Ingress in another thread and thought I’d share.

There’s also a Report Abuse form for Recon, too:

Same as Wayfarer, with a link at the bottom of the page to the web form. Think I have some fire stations in my area to report for Ingress; will have to check my tickets for Wayfarer.

Nice, I used that to report the faulty POI. Thank you.

Also, while I haven’t gotten any emails back, I did report some portals for removal on May 28th. These were at a former site of a mall that is being redeveloped and is under construction. I took some geotagged photos of the construction site, showing it was closed off and provided a link to them in my report.

On Sunday, I went back to this area to nominate something I saw after leaving the area, and found tht all of the portals in Ingress at the former mall site were removed, but some still werw up in PoGo (going to send in a report from those ones, as only a few were removed, even though I provided the same geotagged photos).

So, if you have requested removal, you may want to check the Intel map to see if they have been removed, since I find it odd not to have gotten an email stating that the ones I did report were actually removed.

Got a report email back for something I reported before the split (but it went to Spatial email).

Still formatted for Wayfarer.

I wonder if my reports post-split will be different. Wanted to flag as it may be confusing for Ingress agents who are told in that email still about visiting the Wayfarer forums.

Talking to myself a lot in this unofficial Ingress chat thread but that’s fine.

Just sharing an update that I used the new Ingress removals form - Reporting a Wayspot — Recon Help Center to report a Power Spot (which doesn’t show in game on Ingress but does appear on the duplicate map, causing confusion and delay (too much reading of Thomas the Tank Engine books lately, sorry) to players) on 10th June.

It was at a private residence as the location pin was way off (the business does exist, but not there) and it was removed today according to the email, but hasn’t yet vanished from the duplicates map, I assume it’ll go at next sync?

I’ve got a severely misplaced portal corrected by using that form as well, I wonder when it could sync?
Hoepfully this works, I’ve already set up a spreadsheet for all edits I wanted to do in both, Ingress and Wayfarer, being able to do both fully remotely would be very useful :sweat_smile:

Yeah, so many more edits to do in Ingress for me than for Wayfarer. I think I’ve covered most Wayspots that were in both games before the split, but not all. And of course there are the Ingress only ones that’s hard to keep track of.

Just wondering, did you receive an auto response email with a ticket number? I submitted a removal request for 3 portals yesterday, but never got a ticket number email.

I didn’t, no.

I did get an ack for my report to say that it was fixed, but still in map. But I guess we won’t see much syncing for the time being anyway.

I just got the same email a few hours ago from a report I made before the split and it also was from Recon but formatted as wayfarer, all of this is so messy and unclear. I wonder if it will be removed from the Ingress or the Wayfarer map. And if it happens to be removed from Ingress only, I wonder if they are still syncing those changes or we’ll have to wait some time for them to be reflected in game.

Got an email today, and 2 of the 3 portals were removed. The 1 that wasn’t, for unsafe access, was removed by Wayfarer, so a little odd that it wasn’t remove from Ingress. Might have to try that one in-game. Not safe to pass a busy road to and from the airport to get to it, IMO.

When did u make those reports and from where did u send them?
