If you are trying to create a BAF with your team, you need to be in stealth-mode - don't play any other location-based games, don't capture portals and don't send gifts. If you can't do this, you shouldn't be playing Ingress.
How about "If you're trying to be in stealth mode, don't have friends who aren't on your own team in Ingress"?
The problem is that a) faux-friends and present trading is the fastest way to level in Pokemon Go, and b) there was never before any connection between the games.
The fact that this is changed led me to discard 187 of my 200 PoGo "Friends". The remaining 13 are people I know and am in the same faction in Ingress with.
But this is still a previously undisclosed privacy issue.
