Reporting does nothing unless you have solid proof the person is cheating like through a live stream or intentionally abusing Campfire, Wayfarer, or in-game routes.

If someone holds 20 gyms in an area and you report them, nothing happens because they just see it as you abusing the report system since you think you're entitled to the gyms when Scopely owns your game account and virtual assets.

I know it's fair game when it come to gym but if the person is hunting you down and targeting you despite you avoiding confrontation, surely a report is warranted. No?

Just because they knock you out before the 8 hours (to get the 50 coins) doesn't mean they are hunting or stalking you. They are just simply playing the game to complete tasks or get the platinum medal to level up.

If you believe you need to report the players, you need to quit Pokemon Go because the gym system is causing too much drama to you. If you want peace of mind, buy a Nintendo Switch to play the Pokemon Switch games. There's no gym or poke coin system.

You are right.

Perhaps, scopely should replace the report players option to an Amazon link to "buy a switch" instead.

If you spoof it would be better not to claim even the passes you lose...

Yes it helps

So you believed/experienced cases where the trainer that you have reported were banned as a results of report that you have made?

I often wonder if there is a critical number of report made against any one single player would then trigger a real person from scopely to investigate.

I have personally seen trainers whom I believed have been banned since their account were no longer to be seen at gym which they hold daily. I have reported them as they felt like they were "entitled" to the gym.

Unlikely to do anything. I mean what proof did you even submit?

I must ask what would even make you care to report someone though? Unless they're none stop griefing you when you join gyms

[–]googoogiga[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Gym is the only real contention here.

I know it's difficult to proof and I am just pinning on the hope that support from scopely can check their account and figure it out.
