Mission Questions
in General
Is it appropriate to make a mission (or a mission series) that is faction exclusive?
Say, making a 12 mission series with passcodes and refusing to give the passcodes to agents of the opposing faction?
Personally, I feel that it's against the spirit of the game but, is it actually forbidden?

Put a big logo of your faction as a watermark on it. This might keep most is rival faction away.
This is explicitly "inappropriate content" for missions. "Mission includes clues or passphrases that require contacting a certain person to get the answer or cannot be acquired from within the Mission or environment."
The answers to passphrases must be obtainable from the portal itself.
There were Enl and Res themed banners in Newcastle for the anomaly. A lot of people in both factions did both banners.
It won't. Also, if the original artwork can be found, it can lead to the logo being swapped out for the other factions, just to annoy the original banners author.
Do you know where that quote is located in Ingress rules?
I would like to read it somewhere.
Yes, there is lots of banners as you describe, so there is no problem.
Everyone can send the same banner with no password and do it anyway.
