Help me ban a GPS spoofer
This guy called "Senorviggy" pissed me off so much earlier today. I was meant to go claim my gym bonus today from 2 gyms 100m apart but every time I took down one gym and put my mon in it'd get taken down by the same guy. It was infuriating and I couldn't do anything about it no matter how many times I tried. I really want to get him banned for this but my Internet is being really crap and it takes forever to upload multiple images for niantic report system. I can only post one image here but if you could help it'd be highly appreciated.

There is no way I would accept anything as proof beyond seeing this happen myself on my own phone. The only thing worse than banning a spoofer would be helping someone ban a non-spoofer for illegitimate reasons. Someone else's word that another player is cheating isn't enough for me. I hope it's not enough for anyone.
I see posts like this pop up every so often. I feel your pain, yet I doubt anyone can or will do anything. We have our own spoofers we have to deal with.
And what exactly do you think anyone would do? You managed to get to here and upload a photo just fine.
If you're really "pissed" then upload the multiple images. If you can't be bothered with the time to upload the images then you can't be that upset.
Lastly, and with all due respect, you can't expect anyone to blindly trust the word of a stranger that another player is spoofing. There are a lot of reasons someone would do this beyond legitimate. Not that you're not being honest, but this being the internet it's hard to trust anyone.
If you want to do something about it, then go for it. It's a lot of work, but if it bothers you as much as you say it does, then you'll do it. Otherwise suck it up like the rest of us.
This is basically and witch hunt without proof.
Also I strongly advise you to blur your trainer name when posting screenshots because there are malicious and spiteful people on the internet that can just throw your trainer name on a forum like 4chan and ban together to get you banded just for the fun of it.
It only lets you post one file with a new question. I don't have a screen recorder or a video recorder. The only thing I had was my phone camera with time stamps and the screen shot along side it at the same time. Im just annoyed that's all. It's not the first time and it won't be the last time either that I have to run up and down hopelessly.
