Should creating portals be a badge
I struggle to see why in a game that awards badges for almost all activities that creating portals isnt also a badge.

It was, but was put on hold a while back. The stats are still tracked so it would be nice to have it re-instated perhaps.
Having a badge attached to it, and unlimited submissions led to a backlog of several years.
The badge being gone was the first step to clearing the backlog.
We have OPR now, not just Niantic doing it. Bring back the badge
I do not agree. There are already a lot of signs of improper use of OPR, when valid portals are voted down or completely invalid ones are voted up. All the agents have to do to abuse the system, to get some new agents of the opposite faction (sorry, pogo trainers, but you are those), and collaborating with them any portal submission can be decided with frightening efficiency. If all this had a badge, it would soon be the Guardian's fate.
The in game reward is getting a new portal. No badge is needed. No need to have agents gaming OPR more than they already do. Hopefully no badge is made for getting portals accepted.
I agree, the Seer badge should be brought back. I luckily got to Bronze when they cleared the old backlog, but with OPR now I can see no reason not to reinstate it.
Maybe a one rank badge, like the verified. Just to show you sucessfully create your First portal.
Normal ranked badge Will Just bring back old problems that caused the removal of seer.
