Suggestion: Portal Creator Privilege
I think it will be nice if Portal creator can edit the Title/Description via scanner without going thru OPR assessment.

Could ne a nice idea but could also do harm.
Example: Old portal is now a enemy hp, creator could name it against tos just to make it deleted.
So opr still better even if it takes a lot of time.
Edit: sadly yes always see the worst 😅
Oh come on.. Its a game, why bring in so much hatred...
If the Portal is genuine good, why worry it gets taken down. Just submit a fresh nomination, and its yours to keep/maintain.
There's no hatred here, but if you give people power to edit things without an approval process then someone will abuse it. The creator of a portal is not magically special (otherwise why do we require OPR approval for people to create new portals?).
Same goes for moving portals.
I've submitted a few portals only to find on the next visit that the placement was off. Tends to happen when the satellite view shows nothing but forest. For instance, one rest stop portal ended up in a deep thicket behind the outhouse, instead of near the lean-to where I tried to place it. Tried moving it to the correct spot a few times, but those never got approved...
I can see that automating it could be abused, so how about this instead: if it's the portal creator who's submitting edits, then that could be counted as a couple of positive votes for that edit or move. So it'd be far more likely to pass, but could still be denied if most folks who check it vote against it.
