"[News] New pokéstops expected to appear at an even further increased rate: Niantic opens Portal Recon to all level 12 Agents + speculation on date for submissions by trainers"

#PokemonGO: Disclaimer: Most F.A.Q. have already be answered during previous "another step"-posts but for those of you who dislike clicking my neat links below:Previously: TL;DR: Portal Recon allows experienced Agents to review only the 5M submissions Niantic has in backlog. Currently no new submissions are accepted (though we know they are looking into allowing Trainers to submit in the future)The tool is still in beta and undergoing stress tests which is why they don't allow the millions of trainers to swamp the system.Earlier steps: global release to L16, 1st week stats, global release to L15, global release to L14, and L13 joins the party New step: Level 12 or above now have access [...] This will be the last level granted access at this time. Level 12 kinda compares to L30 in P-GO (not fully apt comparison as Agents have more level up requirements than Trainers). With that in mind, let's take a look at the stats. What can we learn from these stats (updated)Previously drawn conclusions found hereSadly this time they didn't release any new info so all we know for sure is that for the time being we can expect more than 350k new pokéstops/gyms to enter our overworld. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2u6tUK9
