Disabling Portal Scanning should hide VSCP markers
I know this was mentioned in FAQ and the answer is "no, currently they are visible globally".
Well, I kindly ask Niantic (@NianticBrian ) to remove the continuous yellow blinking markers from my screen if I have Portal Scanning disabled. If the switch is off then I don't want to know anything about VSCP. Let it be shown only for those who actually want to do this labor, I wanna see features which are directly related to, well, Ingress and the core gameplay.

I like the new feature, but I agree. Especially in stock Intel the ornaments are intrusive with no way to disable them.
I don't want this useless markers, not in scanner, not in intel.
I do like the feature, but I also agree that players should be able to turn off the feature in the Scanner if portal scanning is off and a filter should be implemented in the Intel for hiding the ornaments.
There is currently no active setting in Settings to disable seeing these.
An oversight I am sure.
I think they are using the backend Anomaly system of marking portals as certain things.
However after an Anomaly or hexathlon, these markers go away
Could be we get something else and not just markers for scanning i think there is something more to expect since they wont go away anytime soon maybe after eos something else happens ?
