Seer Medal after 2014

Solution 1:

I did receive a survey invitation from Niantic and just recently responded to it. From the looks of it, it seems that Niantic is going to put a new automated portal creation mechanism into the game which will get the portal information from their Fieldtrip application. Because it was a targeted survey I couldn't tell if they will additionally go on taking portal submissions from the players but the latest rumours were that they were going to employ a player voted portal approval system into the game.

My guess on the unanswered portal submissions is that they will eventually be processed by Niantic or put into the voting system.
