I highly doubt me saying anything on here is going to get my portals reinstated,
So I’m mostly just posting this as an FYI so that others DON’T abuse things in the same way.
In many religious Christian denominations, while the parents are attending the main church service on Sundays, many churches offer a “kids program” which is basically a glorified babysitting thing for kids to go. And it’s usually broken up by age bracket (ie - K-5, middle school, and high school). This gives the parents an opportunity for their kids to learn about the religion at their grade level of learning. It’s basically just church for kids for about an hour on Sundays.
Here’s where the Ingress dilemma comes into play. It’s usually referred to as “Sunday school”.
So this is where the players have found a loophole to get the Church portals reported as a K-12 “school”. In reality it’s obviously not, but since it says “Sunday school” on the church website, I’m betting that’s how they got it removed.
If anyone has any ideas on how to get Niantic to reverse this, or all of you as portal reviewers to reinstate these portals, let me know.
