No duplicate rejection email
Has anybody else noticed that portal duplicate rejection emails are not coming through anymore?
Have searched all emails, can not find anything, not in spam either.
I noticed one of my submissions was upgraded in OPR, but somebody else got the portal live. When visiting the portal, my photo appears as a secondary photo on the portal. Which means it has been marked as a duplicate. However, no duplicate rejection email has been received.
I know of one other person who has experienced this too and it has been at least two weeks since we have noticed this. The last duplicate rejection email I received was 26 March. So perhaps it isn't sending anymore?
This is the email for reference:
We've reviewed your Portal submission, but we're not able to bring this candidate online at this time.
Your candidate is a duplicate of either an existing Portal or one that's too close to another live Portal to be safely Hacked.

It seems random to me.
Never got any even after nominating over 200 portals.
This has happened to me at least 6 times now. Submitted a new portal, noticed there is a new portal at the location at a later date, see my photo as one of the portal images, yet I never received an email indicating it was rejected for being a dupe. One of them actually had my photo as the primary image as it had been up-voted by players.
Edit to add: This has happened since OPR started, not just recently.
Happened to me as well. I got a duplicate email only once out of 5-6 submissions. Of course the only thing the support team was able to tell me was to check my spam folder........
This has happened to me even pre upgrades. I have 4 or 5 that I never got a duplicate email for but the photo has appeared on the portal
Definitely a great mention. This has been happening since forever and you might want to post this issue on the AMA so it could be a future update!
