Report a Portal from the Maps / Remotely
Der Niantic or its Community Manager / XMA.
I just want to ask if we could report a portal from Intel Maps. This is the reason :
- I don't have its key!
- The location is on a military camp. So it is impossible to farm the key.
What I hope are such as :
- I can report a portal from a distance and/or from the Intel Map. (Without the key or go near the location)
- In order to do that, do I have to send a prove of the location to Niantic so Niantic could believe with my report?
Sometimes portal like those are hard to disappeared from the game because Niantic doesn't believe with the report. I hope next days it is become easier to report a portal that really not eligible or located in not a safe location like in military or even a police office with the prove. So Niantic can believe with that.
Or
Niantic can make a "padlock" / "verified" icon to a portal that really eligible, in safe location etc? With this icon, the portal cannot be removed from the game. It's can only edit Title, Description etc (Just a suggestion)

Firstly wrong forum, try wayfarer forums
Secondly, you would need a better reason to remove that portal, wayfare guidelines are not retrospective
Sorry, I don't know if there is Wayfarer forum. I thought there is only Ingress Community forum.
2nd. hmm what is retrospective means? I wrote the post, because the portal is really on a military camp. And I don't have its key. To report a portal, we need a key. Since I don't have its key, then I can't report it. My mean, if we have a strong prove that the portal is not in a safe location, Niantic could remove it from the game as soon as possible. (My opinion only, sorry if it is wrong)

Retrospective means applying to older portals compared to the time of the rule’s implementation. Retrospective is the opposite of the way it works currently, known as “grandfathering”. Most portals on military bases were approved BEFORE the rule banning such portals was in place. For this reason, these specific portals on active military sites are considered eligible.
Now, that being said, any NEW portals added on active military sites should not have been approved and are invalid/ineligible. I’m not sure if you can “remotely” report these kind of invalid portals via the Niantic Wayfarer forums or not as I don’t spend much time there.
Thanks for your enlightenment. :)
