OPR vs PokemonGo
I know that this is being a problem for a while. Pokemon players who spam new portals, change locations, make wrong pictures, always says to you "I NEED A POKESTOP, I TAKE THE PICTURE, JUST MAKE HE POKESTOP", etc., etc., etc.
But what bothers me more is the fact that those fake and bad portal petitions are approved and the portals that i send in a range from 3 years; always rejected. I live in city, so is common to see graffittis, and drawnings like that, you can see it on Street View, i even make descriptions...but i got a porcentage of 3/10 portals approved.
How do you think we should take this? We can improve it? Or Niantic has to take back the control of portals?

Every person I talk to has their own opinion. One says that we should have separate POI, another that we should teach people to review portals. I submited a lot of good candidates that were rejected, I've seen many portals online that should be rejected based on OPR guide. All I can do about it is trying to do my best during rating candidates and trying to answer any question my fellow agents or trainers may have. Always base my opinion on guidelines and AMA's. Unfortuatelly I'm not able to change someones mind.
I understand your frustration, I really do. But for now all we have is our own possibility to do Recon. Let's do it the best way we can!
If the submission contains the work pokestop, i start with a facepalm...
Then i review the portal as per normal...
First I think that the date of the submission should have priority on the oldest to being reviewed first.
It's a shame that portals from 4 years ago are not online yet, but last week's are. From the same location.
@Hydraulinski you need to raise a support ticket for any you have outstanding that long. It was confirmed in one of the AMA's that there shouldnt be any outstanding from that period and if there were then a support request should be submitted
