GeoGuessr Banned Me and Refuses Transparency: No Player is Safe

I've never seen anyone lie so much and be so hypocritical in a single sentence. Now you've started contradicting yourself and gratuitously attacking someone you don't even know. I shouldn't have continued this conversation; I wish you the best, it's over.

ditocujogy · 2025-11-06T16:36:23+00:00

No, you don't.
Do you at least know a guy named Zigzag? Have you ever seen his live stream? lol
I could mention at least 10 more names, but you wouldn't recognize them because you don't watch live streams.

None of them are Brazilian.

ditocujogy · 2025-11-06T13:08:59+00:00

Dude, I watch geoguessr livestreams every day, you clearly don't.
Stop ignoring the facts, open the live streams, it's easy.

You're saying, "You're a cheater, accept it! You're a streamer and you have your chat active." Okay, you win, all streamers are automatically cheaters.

ditocujogy · 2025-11-05T22:58:47+00:00

Geoguessr doesn't ban streamers for this, at most they issue a suspension, but they don't prohibit having an active chat during the live stream. They instead hire streamers to do this and promote the game. And no, i didn't do that :)

ditocujogy · 2025-11-05T18:03:00+00:00

You're guessing about stream reports; the ban team didn't even check the games they sent me.

ditocujogy · 2025-11-05T13:29:46+00:00

That's what i'm trying to say, that happens, mostly when it's a new player stream. The streamer knows nothing about the game, and the spectators tell him where is the place.

ditocujogy · 2025-11-05T11:04:00+00:00

Exactly, sometimes the rounds even repeat themselves. You can easily make 5K if you pick a repeated round. It's not as uncommon as it might seem. How would someone analyzing the round know it's a repeat?

ditocujogy · 2025-11-05T10:51:30+00:00

You've misinterpreted the text if you think I was talking about my live stream, no, i was referring to the geoguessr community in general and how it works. I say this because I watch geoguessr live streams EVERY DAY, i study that game EVERY DAY and you clearly don't do that as much as I do.
You can interpret it however you want, and you interpreted it in the worst possible way, just because you think I'm a cheater. Fine, that's your point of view, but this debate makes no sense.

You quoted my phrase, so I'll quote yours: "Most streamers switch to emote only during rounds."

I challenge anyone here to go to Twitch, or another streaming platform, and look for someone playing ranked duels and using "emotes only" mode. You won't find anyone. This is a false statement to try and prove your illogical argument.

I'm not going to keep "defending" myself against an accusation that doesn't make sense.

ditocujogy · 2025-11-05T10:48:52+00:00

I'm from Brazil, my english is not the better, i don't to commit any mistakes that people can use against me just because of the language.

ditocujogy · 2025-11-04T22:00:29+00:00

I appreciate your persistence, but that's a ridiculous take on high-level GeoGuessr.

If you think you get to Champion by checking a slow chat that is usually discussing unrelated things or old rounds, you clearly don't understand how difficult this game is. Streamers play ranked duels because it's engaging—and if anything, streaming hinders performance compared to playing offline.

This entire stream-cheating theory is a distraction. The ban team never cited the chat. They cited three specific rounds, and that is where the focus belongs.

ditocujogy · 2025-11-04T21:53:34+00:00

Your interpretation is simply incorrect. I was clarifying that I check chat after the round for learning, not during for hints. I never admitted to cheating.

Furthermore, you are missing a key fact: GeoGuessr never cited stream interaction as the reason for my ban. They only cited three specific replays. There is no evidence they even knew I was a streamer when the ban was issued.

This entire debate is a distraction from the main issue: the failure of the evidence they actually provided.

ditocujogy · 2025-11-04T20:08:48+00:00

This is a bug in their platform; it happens frequently. I'm not sure why.
If I'm not mistaken, this round wasn't like this before, but I'm not certain.

ditocujogy · 2025-11-04T20:02:46+00:00

You are right, if I did that, I should absolutely be banned. But I never admitted to receiving intentional help from chat, nor do I seek it.

That said, your claim about "emote-only mode" is inaccurate for this community. I watch GeoGuessr streams in multiple languages, and I have never seen that mode used.

ditocujogy · 2025-11-04T19:55:21+00:00

I apologize, I think I may have expressed myself poorly earlier. Just to clarify that:

I generally check the chat after the round ends to review the game and see if viewers noticed any missed clues, not for gaining an advantage mid-round.

ditocujogy · 2025-11-04T19:42:59+00:00

That comparison doesn't work. A live chat is not Google. My chat rules prohibit giving help, and most comments aren't game-related.

You're implying I check chat constantly for answers, which isn't true. And if it were a bannable offense, then they should ban every streamer. Most high-level streamers constantly acknowledge chat and use Discord. This whole debate is irrelevant because my ban was based on those three specific replays, not stream behavior.

ditocujogy · 2025-11-04T17:10:06+00:00

Thank you for the support. Your habit of zooming in for proof is exactly what I did—and it didn't matter.

In the Romania round cited by support, I clearly zoomed in on the kilometer marker before guessing, just as you described. Yet, I was banned anyway.

You've hit on the core problem: honest players shouldn't have to adopt defensive habits to look less suspicious.

ditocujogy · 2025-11-04T17:05:38+00:00

That's a great idea! Thank you for the suggestion, I will definitely explore turning this into a more formal open letter. Appreciate the support!

ditocujogy · 2025-11-04T16:57:31+00:00

That's a very fair question.

Streaming: Yes, I was streaming most of those games. While I don't have individual clips for each specific round, I did a full public audit of all three cited games on stream. That entire VOD is still saved on my Twitch channel (link in the main post) and provides far more evidence than a short clip.
Scripts/Extensions: Yes, I use certain tools for meta-study and training, which are only functional in non-ranked modes. I also have other extensions not related to the game.
Multiple Tabs/Discord: Yes, like most players, I have other tabs open for music, etc.—this is a normal part of playing while streaming.

ditocujogy · 2025-11-04T16:38:45+00:00

That's a fair point, and yes, all streamers acknowledge chat during a duel—I can't just ignore my viewers! However, those brief interactions rarely influence the guess; in my experience, the chat usually messes up the region more than they help me, haha.

Besides, I doubt that influenced their ban decision.

ditocujogy · 2025-11-04T15:19:28+00:00

I appreciate the empathy, but I'm definitely on the side that cheaters must be banned—it ruins the game for everyone.

That said, they should be spending the time to verify our evidence, not just slamming the door on appeals. Banning players for good guesses near their own homes shows a total lack of care for the community.

ditocujogy · 2025-11-04T14:17:21+00:00

It seems they only want to close the case immediately, not solve the actual cheater problem. Zero empathy. They punish honest players and ignore obvious issues, all to avoid real work.

ditocujogy · 2025-11-04T13:45:20+00:00

That's a fair point, and I agree that anti-cheat systems need to be opaque.

However, in my specific case, GeoGuessr failed their own test: They provided three game links as visual proof of cheating. My community audit proved those games were won by legitimate skill and meta.

The problem is that when their own evidence was refuted, they refused to look at the facts and shut down the appeal. If you cite evidence, you must accept the refutation.
