Suggestion - Hide agent name from portal photo
I was sure this would have already been raised but I can't find it anywhere so I'm opening a new thread.
I'm getting tired of portals with poor photos as the cover simply because the agent who took it has the support of their faction and got lot of upvotes (and I have been guilty of it…), so my idea would be to simply have the author name hidden, as agents are already rewarded with 500 AP. Or maybe put a list at the bottom of the portal view, something like "Thanks to agents Spam, Bacon and Eggs for their contribution." if we really want to showcase agents who went to the portal to add a picture.
What do you think ?

Wouldn't stop the poor pic votes by pogo players trying to change that other playboard
For now votes of pogo aren't taken into account in Ingress afaik ? And even if they were, pogo can't see any names related to pictures so the aesthetics would be their only criteria so I don't see why they would vote for low quality pictures.
The agent name should definitely be removed from key point of view.
Remove from above.
Keep on the following:
I think it would be interesting if you could see a list of those who voted for each photo
What do you think ?
I think the same people who encourage their faction mates to vote for their photo, would just tell their faction mates which one is theirs.
Great that they finally fixed that, most were just voting for the next closest pic to force a change of something other than picture...
At least that will prevent hate voting from haters, since they won't know who is the owner. Or stupid voters that just vote anything from their faction.
Is that really a significant issue?
Yeah, well, how about the number of votes is displayed correctly? That photo is on 462X instead of just 462 as displayed.
Removing the name is not the problem. Showing all names on the votes, on the other hand, would reveal tons of backpacks.
I had the impression that the motivation was not to have your photo as the cover, but rather to have any photo of someone from your faction, just to make opposite faction jealous. Thus my idea, which would simply remove that motivation and let players vote without considering factions. But maybe I'm wrong at the global scale and I'm unlucky to be surrounded by that kind of players.
As I suffered of that exact situation aswell, I can confirm you are that lucky xD
