Pokémon GO: first ban wave blocks numerous users

Just some time ago, Niantic announced that it would permanently ban cheaters from the game. Some users used GPS fakers, bots or used unofficial Pokémon GO apps. Now the first ban wave took place on the part of Niantic and many players were excluded from the game.
Niantic had already warned users a few weeks ago: the use of bots, GPS fakers and other cheats are prohibited. Even using Pokétrackers that show nearby Pokémon is not allowed. All trackers were therefore blocked a few weeks ago - now it's the users' turn. Those who had not created a second account to use cheats were now excluded. All blocked users have been contacted by email and have the opportunity to report an unjustified ban.
Wrongly banned?
If you have been banned unjustly, the article in Pokémon GO Support Center read. This explains how to avoid accidental bans by filling in this form can be checked again. However, an unbanning request will currently take longer, as a large number of users will probably contact support. There is also another description of what speaks against the rules of Pokémon GO.

If you do not receive a response or a rejection of the application from support, the account will remain permanently blocked. However, you can create another Google or Trainer Club account at any time. However, you have to start all over again and then go on the legal search for Pokémon. It can be assumed that there will be the second ban wave in the near future.
What do you mean? Are these bans justified or not? Do the cheaters spoil the fun of the other users? Feel free to discuss it with us in the comments.
I think the bans are appropriate. It's not fair to other players who play without cheats. You have to admit - it is not difficult to catch a lot of Pokémon even without cheats. You just have to play a lot and walk around a lot.
But if you live in a village ... then of course the whole thing will be very difficult without cheats.
yeah depending on where you live. it is not a bigger city problem and in the country you can forget it and honestly I bet that over 90% of the players have used a poker adar and if they ban then all of them. well, if niantic really pulls through this, the game is history))))
I also believe that many have used a Pokéradar. Most of them certainly used a second account here and were therefore not banned from the main account.
The survey in the coming days shows what readers have already used from us.

I can walk around for hours in my village…. 5km with the dog, and my GPS shows 400m…. A Pokemon, usually Hornlius, Raupis or Zubats, every hour on the hour. At 3 o'clock in the night there is also an Eevee…. No pokestop in a 7km radius…. Drive to the next town to play (let them) ... Cheats are unfair, but the distribution of Pokestops and Spawner is not necessarily "fair" either.
That's right, right now the spawns in remote villages are fairly unfairly distributed. You can't even put a lock module here because you don't have a Pokéstop nearby.
Niantic really still has to work on that ...
I don't know why you're all scolding now. Also live in a village, there can catch enough Pokemon. If the balls are not enough, I'll just buy some, so what?
It doesn't cost that much .. instead of a lock module, I'll just take a smoke
@chrisi You are crazy? No pokestops with you far and wide? Then don't put any money in there ... oh
I am allowed to interfere here and do not understand until now why Niantic is too incapable of making a functioning poker radar ... if you see a Pokemon on this radar you have to search for 15 minutes until you notice that it was somewhere completely different
The ProI also know the problem, but it should get better with the upcoming updates.
I also did not kill and was banned
Would submit a request for removal: https://support.pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=233187

yup You can wait 3 to 5 weeks for the answer. Class. The shit club didn't earn 5 €..!! I spent €100 on my account, walked 170 km, hatched 130 eggs, the Lev. 25 hard earned. I was also able to train a few great Pokis due to job-related relocations within Germany. In the afternoon I was still out and about in one city. GPS turned off and drove 180 km home. In the evening I wanted to go for a spin with my wife and of course show her my pokies. Start the game, gps on, the picture shows the location of the afternoon, then the current one, that went back and forth twice until the picture froze. I then restarted. "Unable to read data from server, try again". I think okay. done done. Only after the 10th time and noticing that my wife without Probleme comes into play it rang so slowly. yooo Contacted support… ridiculous. You can also talk to your houseplant at home, it is more talkative. Conclusion. No matter where I was on the net, I have never read of a successful ban. I think this is just a nice illusion anyway. The only strange thing is that all those who were blocked were mostly between Lev. 25 to 30 layers. From there, if things went well, you've stuffed enough money into it. Can also be a stitch from the slit eyes. Because whoever has stuffed so much money into his first account will certainly do it again in the second. think about it All business strategy. Rip off at its finest.
So it is, the bans the players but only so that they get even more money because players like chrisi will always put money into it anyway!
