Troubleshooting ban

[penzone]

I'm not sure if it's been informed somewhere, but it happens one gets banned from time to time, although it's impossible to see what to fix for next time. The bot closes after a certain xp to "protect" us, which is nice, yet bans keep on coming. I'd really like more "protections", like is there a time limit until niantic sees inhuman activity? Right now I just make a new profile and make the exact same steps as the previous banned account, since I have no idea how to really evade the banning.

I've posted elsewhere in this forum, my suspicion is that unnatural user behavior is what is giving visibility to botting accounts, and it seems to be more common after you hit level 30.

Specifically risky behavior:

Running bot too fast (walking speed is safest)
Running bot for too long (no more than 2-4 hours in a day is safest)
Location jumping in short time spans (jumping an hour away from your last bot location within a minute is bad)
Running bot in a country that is different than your IP address you are using.
Running the bot at the same time you are playing with your mobile phone (with the same account)
Sniping is risky

Basically slow and steady. In your example, if you are waiting for PokeFarmer to close, you have most likely run it for many hours.. and if you are doing this several days in a row this is going to put you at risk.
