About to leave for work, I launch the pokemon go app,
I see that I have no mons in revive, always a good feeling since that means that I did not get kicked out of any gyms over night.
By the time I get down by block, I see that the gym is a level 2 yellow. HUH?
By the time I get through the red light and park under the gym it is a level 7 yellow.
I reacted and started to beat the two gastlys at the bottom take off 4000 really quick, but the gym is going up super fast.
I could have a battle of wills but then I realize. "I have you!"
I sit for another minute or two, enough time to catch the spawned mons. Gym is now a level 10 full of mons
but not all blissey, just two each of the big 4. Gym at 50000, this person slips in mons as they go.
I then snap shot each mon in the gym and will be making 10 reports to niantic when I get home from work tonight.
It will take about 15 minutes to file these reports but totally worth it.

What would you do?
Keep battling or file reports?

btw, no one around, and definitely not 10 people woodpecker'ing their phones building this gym up at lighting speed.
Let them take the gym, see if they're dumb enough to put stuff in, if they do, file a report.
I don't know how Niantic works but I'm guessing they only ban players that are blatantly cheating, for example 10 accounts with similar names all placing Pokemon into a gym within 30 seconds of each other, since it's possible that a player could make false reports.
I have reported a few players that I've "caught" spoofing, they were definitely not in the area, but nothing was done about it.
Happens here. Good luck getting Niantic to respond. The only reasonable answer to this that I've ever seen is someone that made two alt-accounts for the other teams, then as soon as he sees this start to happen, he throws his own alt-account mons in the gym. That screws up the bot.
Funny that the only current way to stop cheating is to cheat yourself. I'm not going to do it, as I've played clean from day one, but I do admire his solution.
