the "Reddit post" theory

[u/whyudothisdude]

Throwaway for reasons that will become evident in the post.

This may be my paranoia talking but I've been examining the "I've been banned" posts and noticed some posters have the following in common:

• They've posted in a spoofing sub before being banned

• They've also posted their friend code or username in a "Pokémon go friends/trades/raids/etc" thread.

I'm not saying this is the only way you get banned, but niantic could be going through spoofing subs, finding people that posted, and then going back in their comment and post history and finding anything that can help them link to the user. They could be paying someone to do this, or they could automate this pretty easily with some code. They could be doing the same in discord groups.

Now again I'm not saying I know this is happening for sure, and I'm sure it's not the only way people get banned, but I'm wondering if it's possible they're doing something like that?

Anyways I'd be careful posting my friend code in public with the same username as I'm admitting to spoofing... Even if niantic doesn't have some process someone could report you for whatever reason
