The last thing Google needs in Ingress is more content than they need to review. They're currently 130 days behind on reviewing portal submissions and this is either going to take just as long, or delay portal submissions even more.

Frankly, I'm shocked that they didn't start with procedurally generated missions first so that everyone can participate and then add hand-curated ones slowly to improve the quality. Instead, they did a big media blitz when a large portion of their player base isn't anywhere near an existing mission.

Do we know yet that they're moderating the missions?

I'm only going off the article:

> The Niantic staff will curate missions to ensure that no one does anything nefarious, like putting a pornographic picture in the mission description.
