Sniped by a Spoofer Moron

Sorry, but this is not a question but rather a just an AAAARRRRGGGHHH complaint (or observation).

I just prestige a 9 level gym from 41k to 50k - just normal business, you may think.
However, spot 9 was a 2630 Blissey to this took some time (20-25 mins). When I reached 50k, the spot was already taken !!

This was in a carpark outside a swimming pool which was already closed. There were few cars there and now cars arrived during my presaging. I looked around many times and there was no-one to be seen.

What pissed me off the most was that the f@$%&ing snooper was so f@$%&ing stupid that he/she put in a 2420 Dragonite below the Blissey !!

The only solution I've found is learning to prestige in huge chunks around 4000 to 6000 prestige before all your pokemon die

It works because not a lot of people are good enough to get that much prestige in one gym battle. So the chances of somebody stealing your spot is smaller.

You can still see the prestige evolving after every pokemon.
It always goes up after a pokemon is beaten (1k by 1k even if you beat 4 or 5 in a row).

I hate this too...my most hated thing and I think for all prestigers, this has happened to them...

They need to fix this and track how much prestige you add and if multiple are prestiging, first one to whatever was needed "wins".

This is also Niantic's fault to allow this to happen!

I think prestiging is the only thing in the game that makes me anxious. Knowing someone is waiting to snipe the spot as soon as it gets to level 10.
What makes it even worse is when I click to add my mon and my game does one of those typical resets and then when I restart gives me the white screen. Then I finally get in and the spot is taken

Ugh. Sorry to hear this. The spoofers have gotten completely out of control since Gen 2 launched.
