Once gym build up to level 10, nobody from same team can put or add any Pokémon untill the gym been totally take down. So, you want to shave, take dwon the whole gym.

also good against gym stagnation, alternative once a gym gets to level 10 only those 10 accounts can be in the gym until it is totally taken down.

While I hate shavers like any one else , I don't think this solution is the best , if the gym reached 10 and then other teams reduced , it will keep reducing without the current ability to do any thing even if this happens throw days or weeks , that doest sound fair , the defenders will always be weaker like that

Maybe allow the original 10 accounts add Pokémon?

Then you just have a new form of shaving.

"Maybe allow the original 10 accounts add Pokémon?"

That would play right into the hand of the spoofers with multiple accounts.

This idea is not bad. It also offers interesting tactical possibilities. There are two stagnant level 10 gyms in my color, red. As I do not shave, I have been locked out for weeks. I would like to see them taken down by blue, but they are too lazy. So I take the neighboring blue tower down. But not completely, where it just would be taken back within a few hours. I leave one level, reducing it to a blue stump. Now nine blue players can't get into their old gym and finally have to man up and attack the stagnant gyms.

All they have to do is prestige it back up, or am I missing something?

So you welome rival teams to take down your level 10's? I for one would be happy to comply, or at least take it down to their blissey (a trick I learned from Valor ;)

Yeah, taking it to level 1 with 1 Blissey and < 1000 prestige just takes 2 or 3 fights to open a spot again...

Even I'd not mind prestiging it since it's only 2 or 3 fights and even if you get gym sniped (you actually want that if they stick something lower than the Blissey, you can make more spots easily...)...Esp if the CP is very high since the thing left was the highest CP mon in the previous gym...

If it's a Dragonite or T-rex, that's a guaranteed 2 fight for me and after those 2 fights, it's back to being a lvl 2/3 gym and you can prestige to your hearts content...

I currently have mons, no gym spots at all so I agree that full gyms should allow you ways to still interact with it.

I would disturb the neiborhood too in that situation! That is the best you can do without shaving!

To stop shaving, for me, is to add cost to this behavior. There are only two costs that I know for now. Time and potion. Add both, will kill it, add one will slow it. Before we fight against enemy in front, we have to solve the shooting from behind. The shooting will not kill us, but it kills the wish, the wish to stay in the battle, or the wish to stay in this game.

When our worst problem is shavers, we have won!

Spoofers with multiple accounts filling every gym, thus locking out everyone, is the biggest problem niantic has to fix.

True. But spoofing breaks the rules so account can be banned, shaving, kindly can be legal.
By the way, issues need to be solved one by one. I'm talking about shaving now.

yes, but with out the multiple account spoofers, there will be enough gyms to where people won't feel the need to shave.

Cause and effect, try to fix the real problem instead of band-aid the secondary problem.

Great....the last small percentage of players will stop caring about gyms because they cannot keep a gym more than a day.

My favorite idea I've read is not kicking a pokemon until the gym drops to the next lower level. i.e.: #10 kicked when the gym drops below 40k prestige instead of below 50k prestige.

This does need something to still/even more be done to prevent 10 Blissey towers.
