The ingress community has been polluted with pogo players who openly admit to only playing ingress so they can reach the level to submit portals. No faction teamwork, unorthodox gameplay, etc. Anyway of giving pogo players what they want in their own game and let the ingress players get back to their tight, local community. I understand cells are different per game, but still. Raise the level for portal submissions....?
What is the formal name of this web site ? Ingress twitter account said "Ingress Community", but title of this web site is "Ingress Community Forums". Which is correct ? I like shorter one !
I hear rumors that the mission submission and approval system will be undergoing a significant overhaul. This is long overdue and much appreciated. Would it be possible to have an official repository for plans like this, similar to the old Prime Roadmap, so that the community is less dependant on the rumor cycle?
I've seen at least three examples recently where a portal has been moved several kilometers, with a severe impact on missions and mission banners that use that portal. (Albuquerque, Chicago, Sacramento.)
Would it be possible to have portals that move more than a kilometer automatically marked as unavailable in missions that use them?
Is it possible to change factions more than once via the recursion mechanic? The old-school faction change mechanic was one-use-only, but the documentation on faction changes via recursion does not say anything about such a limitation.
Are there any plans to recruit more hamsters to beef up the passcode processing server? Or possibly upgrade to the more powerful guinea **** variant?
Over the last few months I've struggled to redeem any public passcode when I know it's been valid and not yet FR, (as people after me have claimed it successfully). I just get the wait of doom, in intel, prime or redacted and when it eventually works for me hours later its FR.
Hi Andrew, thanks for the time you're investing in the ama, and thanks a lot for your time in Amsterdam! How are you? 😉
I'm under the impression that it was your first Dutch or even European anomaly. I really enjoyed the xf afterparty and basecamp,but I'm curious how you experienced this anomaly?

I thought I posted this but its showing in my drafts still. :S me confused.
Hello Andrew, thank you doing AMA after the hiatus, I enjoyed the brief encounter with you in Japan.
First, in Ingress Prime, the portal nomination maps now comes with an arbitrary, roughly 2.5km radius in moving maps, thus limiting people's ability to nominate portal back from their trip, etc. Is there any plan to change this, if not, why?
Second, while I always find most if not all NIA developers and community communicators friendly and helpful, sometimes things didn't go so well. Do you feel it has something to you're understaffed, and does it limit your potential to fully deploy ideas and features?
Third, when Redacted caused agents got banned on Android Q, Niantic Support recommended using Prime - except it is also not supported, and would show device not supported every few minutes, if able to get past the launching screen. Is there any plan to improve Prime's compatibility?
.To elaborate... a portal submitted in an apartment itself is considered PRP, however a quality portal submitted in the lobby or apartment gardens is fine.
When portal edits are (presumably) added to Ingress Prime, will they contain the extra "surrounding" photo as well as the extra text we already know from portal submissions? This would be very handy for "report invalid portal" as well.
Comments
How about a stat to tick Everytime the opposing faction accesses your profile? And a badge.
Will the Ingress swag shop be reopened? If yes, when?
When will battery drain issues in Prime be fixed?
Who sees the comment section for opr and what purpose does it serve?
With regards to the recent “false positive” agent bans for using the beta of Android Q, referenced on this Reddit post:
Hi Andrew, thanks for your work.
Any updates on status of Android Q bans? It's been nearly a month now and no more information has been given back to us.
My appeal was closed without any communication provided.
Thanks in advance for a response.

I have a question about Operation Portal Recon,
At the time of an examination,
When a difference in the locations is corrected.
When also correcting from the location when applying,by oneself,is that given priority to?
Or when more than one correction isn't collected,isn't it corrected?
Nice to see the AMAs back!

No Questions. Just thanks for being a great community manager. I know that it must be tough trying to keep everyone happy, but its all moving forward!
I look forward to prime, prime servers, and a bigger community in 2019 and beyond!
I am editing OSM. Are you planning to bring the latest OSM data into ingress? In the first place, I want the map of the scanner to be detailed.
Are apartment buildings considered Private residential property?

Is there a plan to re-organize the categories/topics into something easier to browse?

Can you confirm how many known universes/dimensions currently exist in Ingress?
I know of 5: Anime, Prime, 1218, Osiris and Nemesis.
Is the compatibility with Wear OS included in the "parity" of Prime? REDACTED doesn't have compatibility too, but the old Ingress had.
No. This has been answered many times.
The restriction is on single family residential property (including farms and ranches) only.
