"The TOS and trainer guidelines are pretty straight forward, but there still is confusion around the new shadow bans so here ya go."

#PokemonGO: Having more than 1 account is against the TOS. Sharing your device is not.Sharing your account is against the TOS. Sharing your device is not.Using IV Calculators that loggin to your account is against the TOS. Calculating IVs manually is not.Driving and playing is mostly against the TOS (it says not to break the law while playing, and most states and countries have restrictions on cell use while driving) Walking and playing is not.Faking your location is against the tos. Going out and exploring is not.Scanners are against the TOS. Pinging your local facebook page with a location of a pokemon you just saw is not.There are obviously some grey areas like shaving gyms with friends on other teams because the beginning of the players guidelines say play fair, and that really isnt fair, but shaving via multi accounting is clearly against the TOS.I do wish niantic would specifically address if shaving is OK or not. It is akin to win trading in ingress, which clearly is defined as not OK.Just remember, if you break the TOS, they can do whatever they want to your account. Delete it, ban it, shadow ban it, give you 5000 pidgeys and nothing else, it is totally up to them. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2rvdZ7o
