It's going to be useless. Too many people are asking and upvoting the same useless questions about bans and things that Niantic had already answered, but people don't like the answers to. Brian will give the prefab answers on those, ignore the other questions, and nothing new will be learned.
If the moderators of that sub actually cared about advancing discussions, they'd delete questions everyone should already know the answer to. But they won't, because like all the aspiring micro-influencers who "moderate" crappy gamer forums, they'd rather brag about quantity than quality.
I'm going to go ask some sure to be ignored questions now.
You know, it's Reddit. So you could go upvote good questions, and downvote bad ones. You could also encourage the reps when they give helpful answers, instead of prejudging them and making them wonder why they should bother talking to the community at all.
also i dont understand why they didnt held the ama here on their own Community? 🤨 it feels almost they more or less abandon here only agents talk to each others and Brian at most is active in report bug section
One of the reasons that @NianticThia and @NianticBrian said they did the AMA on Reddit was due to users being able to upvote questions and responding to each one.
However, as mentioned, that’s not the case. The Vanilla forums have the capacity of having 🔼 which @NianticTintino and their team have done on the Wayfarer forums here -
I'm trying to figure out if any questions have been answered with previous AMAs with Krug. A lot of questions were about Wayfarer which makes sense for Wayfarer doing the same format in the past.
There's only so much you can ask about at this point.

Ah but then the Ingress team can say they’ve held one. Doesn’t matter overly to them what the end result is.
People asked for one, one has been held. Done.
it's a KPI thing.
Cognitive bias is a thing...
If we would be removing things people "should know", there is no use in allowing people to ask questions.
Start with the huge number of questions that didn't get answered in the last "AMA" on campfire.
It's going to be entertaining to see which of the questions are answered.
Maybe use that brain and think "what's something that can be quickly answered with a yes or no versus asking about a person's account"
They were basically "we are working on it" answers, lol, what a joke. That's the best "communication" we're ever gonna get from Niantic.
Generic answers, exactly as I expected.

If only we had a post rating system on this forum.
I was disappointed to see the question about unique drone visits badge (and I would throw in, showing uniques on the drone layer) go unanswered.
means probably no badge planned

Thanks for the very useful reply and clarification from @NianticBrian during AMA. Finally we can get rid of the "FreeXYZ" drama starting from IFS.

As mentioned, the team will take the queries, have a period of getting 🔼 and then provide responses within a few weeks.
Please consider this next time as the users are here on the forums to ask the questions.

I went off on a bit of a tangent in another thread so linking it here too.
