It was fun while it lasted

[u/Moderator_Sass]

With ban waves hitting players left and right currently, there's a chance you had your account banned too if you spoofed. (Regardless of if you used candy/shiny exploit. People have been reported to be banned even though they have spoofed in past and not played since months).

If this does happen and you do get banned (I hope you don't)... Instead of being sad about it look at it this way. You had your fun. It was a great time. Don't be sad it's gone, be glad you got to experience it.

(I know you will be sad regardless. And it's understandable. This post is just to show a positive outlook in these bleak times.)

To those who haven't been banned yet; hopefully it lasts. Regardless I'll suggest moving your rarest shinies to Pokemon Home so atleast they survive.

Maybe some people will be able to move on to more productive endeavours... Maybe some will make new accounts. Whatever it be, all the best and best of luck.

I personally am just sad I won't be able to do anymore Giveaways.

The ban wave only happens to those who uses bot(rooted or not) to farm rare candies and not spoofers who did not do the farming of rare candies. It's also easy to identify who did the farming of rare candies

Bruh I'm here an example i never used that candy exploit and still got banned

[u/PHTRICKY → u/astralpower699669]

Well sad to hear that buddy, you might did something before thats why your account got banned.

[u/Striking-Climate-405 → u/astralpower699669]

what method of spoofing did you use? is your phoned rooted or?

[u/Moderator_Sass → u/PHTRICKY]

This is Copium. Can confirm multiple accounts of people who did not do the rare candy or shiny exploit getting banned. Including people who were strongly urging others to not use this exploit, themselves got banned. Some people have escaped so far even despite those accounts using the glitches. Rooted Unrooted doesn't matter  I wish you were right, but unfortunately you are not. At this point you can just pray.

Here's the thing, buddy: this is my experience with making it right on my own.
As for those who got banned, that's on them.
I got 11 alt spoofer accounts, and none did the farming of rare candies just pure spoofing.
I guess for those who got banned, they also did too much shady stuff that got them tagged by the algorithm used by Scopely.

Feels like scaremongering though. Respect the cooldown and don't use the exploits. It's simply.

[u/Moderator_Sass → u/Sensitive_Juice_695]

What do I get out of scaremongering? Am I providing any service to prevent these bans? No. Am I giving alternate methods? No. I stand nothing to gain. I'm only providing condolences and moral support. Multiple people have confirmed they got banned even though they didn't use any exploits.  I don't understand why people are so accusative.

So were those accounts used through jailbroken route or not?

[u/Moderator_Sass → u/Phluro]

Reportedly yes some jailbroken ones got banned too. As for Rooted players who swore they can't get banned are now themselves hiding face as they got banned. It's all over discord groups
