Emails of Portal reject have now reasons!
Possibilities seen until now:
- Insufficient evidence that the Candidate accurately reflects the submitted real-world location based on comparison of the submitted photo and map views
- The real-world location of the Candidate appears to represent a generic store or restaurant
- Candidate does not appear to be permanent or appears to be a seasonal display that is only put up during certain times of the year.
At the end we can read that the decision cannot be changed. If you believe it should be accepted, you should re-submit it after improving the photo
Thanks to @a1mirr and @PiPrime for the report! If you have other sentences send us a screenshot of the email!

Vanguard @Claudija has created a post in the Ingress Forum, that reflects the opinion of many Agents on the latest Anomaly Ticketing news.
Well it happened, you pushed the payment for the anomaly badge and what we are now seeing is of course a huge pushback. There are some reasons for it, some are valid and some maybe not.
Read her thought and the other players' at this link, and comment with your point of view on the matter!

An open letter to Niantic
Dear Niantic, Well it happened, you pushed the payment for the anomaly badge and what we are now seeing is of course a huge pushback.
Update on Umbra Anomaly Ticketing
Agents,
Thank you for your constructive and candid feedback on the new in-app ticketing process for the upcoming Umbra Anomaly. We understand the timing of this announcement was poor and provided very little advance notice of the changes. We apologize, and going forward, we will proactively explain significant changes to events, the game, or policy with advanced notice to POCs and to the wider Ingress community. As a result of your feedback, we will be making several immediate changes to the current Umbra Anomaly in-app ticketing process going forward.
Later today, we will be adding an Onsite Activation (Free) ticket to every Anomaly city. This ticket will allow you to have your actions counted for scoring, and does not include the Anomaly medal. The Onsite Activation (Free) ticket will be available for onsite participation only. You will still have to purchase an Onsite Activation (Paid) or Offsite Activation (Paid) ticket to receive 2X AP during your Anomaly event, the Umbra Anomaly medal, and to receive a report of your Anomaly actions on the local leaderboard. For a detailed description of the different ticket types, please go to the event page for your city by either using the in-app ticketing feature or visiting http://ingress.com/events.
Offsite Activation (Paid) requires remote participation during the Anomaly to qualify for the Anomaly medal and leaderboard rewards. Remote participation includes recharging an Anomaly portal in the city you registered for during the Anomaly, successfully submitting any decoded anomaly code during the Anomaly period, and remote Intel Operators. Intel Ops will need to have their Agent names verified and submitted by their Faction POCs a week before the event.
Please be aware that every ticket is locked to a specific city. For example:
If you purchase either an Offsite or Onsite Activation (Paid) ticket for Guadalajara, Mexico but you recharge for/or attend Antwerp, Belgium, you will not be eligible to receive an Anomaly medal. You must purchase an Antwerp paid ticket if you are recharging or attending Antwerp and want the Anomaly medal. You will not be able to change the city of a ticket once it is purchased.
For the Umbra Anomaly Series, we’re also going to provide two one-time use promo codes to Agents who purchase (or purchased) an Onsite Activation (Paid) ticket before Wed, October 9 5PM UTC. These codes can be given to any Agent attending the same Anomaly city onsite event as you for a free Onsite Activation (Paid) ticket. Please note, these promo codes can only be used for Onsite Activation (Paid) tickets for the same city as the Agent who bought the ticket. Tap the main menu button > Events > Nemesis: Umbra Anomaly: City > Redeem a promo code (below the “Claim Tickets” button). Promo codes will be sent to Agents via the email address confirmed during the in-app ticketing checkout process weekly, starting Fri, September 20.
For future events, we’re investigating what additional payment options could be enabled for the Events in-app ticketing feature.
Lastly, we need your help as we explore ways to make Ingress more sustainable, and we need your help now. Adding paid options for Anomaly events is one of several updates coming to Ingress to help us achieve our goals around better viability as a team that can stand on its own.
Thank you for your feedback and your continued support.

Hi Niantic, Myself and a number of others have just completed the Field Test event at Launceston.
Field Test Medal For All Participants
Agents,
We appreciate your participation in today’s Field Tests. These events allow us to test new technologies and functions of Ingress and the scanner. As mentioned on the Field Test event pages, we wanted to proactively explain in advance that due to the experimental nature of these events there was a possibility that issues could arise.
Because of the various issues Agents experienced, we will be awarding all Field Test participants with the in-app Hexathlon medal if they did not automatically receive one. The medal will start to appear in scanners by the end of next week.
Thank you for helping us test and explore the limits of what the Ingress scanner can do. To any Agents that did not have a positive experience, we are sorry, be aware that the information collected will help inform and shape future events and improve the Ingress experience for all Agents. Your efforts were not in vain. Thank you for your continued support!

Today, we want to celebrate the Field Test session of yesterday: a big thank you to everyone who participated and here's to hoping that a great amount of data was collected and that Niantic found the answers they looked for!
We'll do so by sharing some pictures (silenced) of the many Field Tests that took place all around the world, starting with Oulu, Finland!
