Outdated Mission Day Missions
What's the best way to get older Mission Day missions adjusted or fixed in preparation for upcoming Second Sunday efforts? I tried going through the chat support, but it's literally been hours of back and forth with them not understanding or replying with boilerplate unrelated to what's needed.
For example, one of the nearby Mission Day missions has a portal that's been moved several kilometers away from the location it was at when the mission was originally created. The description also references a local business that no longer exists. So I can already foresee a bit of frustration when people are either doing it for the first time or replaying it for Second Sunday credit. Mission Day missions seem to be designed to be fairly localized with their portal groupings. Given that, I assume it's in everyone's interest to adjust them to maintain that original intent.
When I tried going through chat support, they originally stuck to it being on me to use the comm in game to ping the mission author, but MissionsbyNIA isn't a real player. Niantic owns it. I still tried but got no response, as expected. Then I got boilerplate around how sometimes portals get moved to more accurately reflect things like local businesses moving and that the portal won't be removed from the game, which is not what I was asking to happen. It needs to be removed or replaced in the mission.
There must be an easier way...

What is the missions name, as well as the missions link on intel? Maybe you're in luck and someone from Niantic is lurking here that can adjust the mission.
Here's one I found: https://intel.ingress.com/mission/0d1a1db1b916493d945f464f3db627d1.1c
The first 6 portals are at a cadence of 1-2 per block for a few blocks, and then the last portal is almost a mile away.
As well, the description:
Historic Nob Hill is home to a quaint shopping district on NW 23rd. This mission features many unique shops and tasty treats including Portland-famous Blue Star Donuts and Salt&Straw.
Blue Star doesn't exist in that area any longer.
