Upgrades should process oldest submissions first.

I’ve noticed that when I earn an upgrade from OPR it only ever gets applied to my most recent submission.

This is an issue for me because it means that older submissions I make in really dense areas which require more reviews (e.g. London) always get left behind and sit in the OPR system for months whereas my local submissions (which usually go through quickly anyway) get the boost.

I definitely do my fair share of reviews but the way upgrades are distributed definitely needs work.

    I couldn't agree with you more.

  • I would agree that that it makes a lot more sense to apply the upgrade to the oldest portal.

    Would also boost my dedication towards doing opr. Upgrades are not that useful - i do the same amount of OPR with or without Boost.

    I hope Niantic fix it soon. Very big problem now for OPR.

  • I would prefer the option to remove old submission instead TBH.

    Having a huge pool of submission for your upgrades to pick from suggests that you submit a lot of portal and review less. I am in an area where my submission would not get reviewed unless they are upgraded due to the ridiculous amount of backlog from double redacted+prime nominations and pogo user nominations. To resolve this, I have completely stopped submitting any nomination and instead review anytime I'm free so I can get an upgrade. By doing this, I'm slowly clearing through my old submission. For future nominations, I have a priority list for portals I will personally submit so they can be upgraded. I passed the less prioritized portal to be submitted by my friends instead, because the result is the same anyway: they are going to get stuck in a limbo for months without an upgrade, disregarding wheter it was me who submit them or someone else.

    Adding more submissions in this kind of situation is just going to make the backlog worse. Yes, it does feel strange to be given the ability to submit new portal but chose not to, but when I revolved my perspective, it makes the submission I want get through instead of being stuck.

    It happened again with me...

    I have so many old submissions, the upgrade system was supposed to help with that, but it doesn't look random when it's a 50/50 shot to upgrade de last two submissions, when there still year old in queue.
