THE BANS ARE REAL

 

[pr0teg3]

So even though the "Flee" ban is in place we can still actively use our accounts normally for gyms and stops and so forth?

But how do you know you have a ban and it's not just the servers being buggy?

He doesn't, he found something on google that's been up for weeks and shared it.

 

[pokachootwo]

so odd, being able to access pokemon stops and fight gyms...but no access to catching pokemon

even the eggs work

mines opposite i can catch pokemon but cant loot pokestops

 

[diesel9]

so if you arent logged into bot, can you log in w/o gps?

yeah - meant is it safe, as in are they logging my non gps login then where the bots actually farming?

For those who are getting the Catch Flee, How long do you run your bot at a time and at what speed?

I run mine for a few hours at a time at 10.8 km and never had a problem.

If Niantic is scanning for realistic behavior on accounts then someone who is botting for 10+ hours straight at 21 km is probably getting flagged.

Also they might be watching the catch rate of Pokemon. Even in a high spawned area I don't think you can realistically catch 100+ per hour.

Bans are real!



This is the status of my account for the last 17hrs, tried different IP too. Also, this ban was not using Pokefarmer, and yes I was teleporting insane distances. Other more conservative accounts still up, but bans are real.

This is the response to the ban appeal:

"Trainer,

We have received your appeal. Our goal is to provide a fair, fun and legitimate game experience for everyone. Use of any other third-party software or app, including but not limited to scripts/apps, applications used to falsify your location, using emulators, modified or unofficial software and/or accessing Pokémon GO clients or backends in an unauthorized manner is considered cheating.

I typically only run 1-2 hours twice a day and usually swap between walk/jog speeds. Also only farm areas around my own city and NEVER log on my phone while using farmer. Got the "Flee" ban in place but still am able to log on my phone and gather stops and even took a few gyms this afternoon.

Were you notified that your account was banned?

Did you use pokesniper?

Did you use pokesniper?

Nope never anything other than farmer and BlossomsPogoManager from time to time.

I have very bad news after make a test.
This morning i get a "data error" from server and i cant login. My name is game is XubanZ. This names are unique. I try to create new account and set exactly the same name and i do it... i think the old account is gone. If anyone can't beleave, can try it too.

I have a bot running right now after flipping IP's. I ran the bot on a different account, nothing has happened since. I do not teleport etc.

Logging into my phone which has it's GPS spoofed, I can walk around and catch pokemon without issue along with stops. To the devs, can you create a thread that's locked with only updates? Seeing all the speculation helps nothing. Unless someone has a screenshot of a permanent ban and can provide some detailed information about their own idiocy (because trust me, if you are not doing anything BLATENT, you shouldn't even be banned.), it's not the third party API. I can confirm this because I have multiple coworkers botting, one just started yesterday, did nothing odd and was not banned at all.
