"Spoofers are rampant in the downtown areas now that all the gyms are level 3"

#PokemonGO: I was walking home from downtown chicago during rush hour and I literally saw every level 3 mystic gym turn valor like it was "the wave." (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NxLh-3DdaE) In a matter of 15 minutes, all the gyms from horizon to horizon were lit red when they were once blue.It was ridiculous -- it's cold in chicago; my hands are freezing; no cars were traveling faster than a snail's pace at the intersections; and now the spoofers are more ballsy than ever because they can solo-tear down every level 3-5 gym with their line-up without taking 40 minutes to destroy a level 10 gym like before. Spoofers are not afraid to show off their username and high CP dragonites because all this reporting has resulted in nobody getting banned.In addition, all the legitimate players are quitting because nobody can stay in gyms and collect coins anymore. Meanwhile. it's an accusation witch-hunt for the legitimate people turning level 32+ to be reported as a botter, when sometimes they are not.NIANTIC, people do not need technical degrees with a CS background to spoof. All they do is purchase these fake, knock-off Chinese Samsung Galaxy phones that are "pre-super-rooted" by the manufacturer so they can still be able to run the most rudimentary of all GPS spoofers while running pokemon go. They don't use multi-dummy-account scanners; they just use one account going 20 MPH with a joystick and joyride around the city serendipitously looking for pokemon, poke stops, and gyms to place their high CP pokemon in to collect 10 coins/day while sitting at home in their underwear.These rudimentary spoofers have not been banned since the start of the game and their pokemon go activity looks the same as anyone else who plays a lot. They are terrorizing every city and suburb with their spoofing activity because it's obvious now that most gyms are easy to knock down while it is too cold for everyone else to play outside.All these damn spoofer apps, mostly on android phones, have names and unique digital signatures and it should be easy for the pokemon go app to DETECT these apps and NOT RUN while these app are installed/running on the phone. Just find all the alternative forums that lists spoofer bots and apps and simply have an APP BAN LIST. Any digital signatures coming from these spoofing apps should be detectable by pokemon go and pokemon go should not run under these circumstances. No 20 mph ban nor gym nerf will mitigate this. What niantic did was simply have a soft-ban penalty on spoofing as if it was the helmet-to-helmet penalty in football, yet helmet-to-helmet still happens and sometimes still goes uncalled/undetected (come up with your own example).it's not the phone's fault; it's not the root's fault; it's the spoofing app's fault. Have pokemon go detect these digital signatures from these spoofing apps and that will stop a lot of these non-technical spoofers rampaging the city. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2erU1UU
