Can we remove level restrictions based on Ingress in game level?
Can we remove the restriction if the agent reached a certain level in game just like what Niantic did for anti-spam OPR? I read several times today about the level restriction on this community restricting actual agents to post useful information about a event or a report. And I understand that there's a anti-spam need. I think the in game status would better reflect the community access purpose than the forum activity.
Of course the unlock can be done by leveling up in the community, but I think we should also make it possible by leveling up in the game.
Thanks.🤗

I like the idea of lifting some of the restrictions due to community level here... I cannot post a link or use the embed quote function at all, which means I can't effectively participate in some of the long "threaded" discussions because it is difficult to quote people....the UI says that is a link and won't let me do it. I can't participate in the photos thread, because I can't put a link to my photos.
Maybe you don't have a way to correlate In game level though? Maybe as the community matures with the new tool some of the restrictions can be lifted?
Yay for getting this launched, tho...I really missed G+ and as you guys get features added here this will be a good replacement. I'm not worried about the growing pains, those are normal for anything new.
In my understanding, it's not able to sync in real time as the data may be isolated, but it can always be synced by a script daily or by some other methods... Though I admit the there may be some technical difficulties on this.
Another thing I missed about G+ is the user centered community, instead of this topic centered one. You can read the splendid of a specific agent by accessing their pages, or find all the mission series of a region in a single group. Here I guess we don't want to have that many groups or communities, then these kind of communication is restricted.
While there are workarounds (ie, other hosting options), it would have been really nice if the June round of IFS photos that need to be publicly posted anyways could have been posted here - the timeline would have worked out (just), but for all the PoCs to be able to get enough like/insightful reactions to actually be able to do so would have been a very tough ask indeed.
To some degree I'm sure this will be improved by time, but it's the sort of arbitrary limitation that is annoying and directly impacts what seems to be planned functionality.
