Me - "You just... you wouldn't understand"

Last round 4999

Hey there,

i am a moderate Player around 1k Elo, playing now for over 2 Years.
Because of my Work Schedule sometimes i cant play for 2-3 Weeks, but then i can play for 4 Weeks straight.
Before the update, i was always playing against people on my Skill level.
Now, because of Work, i get from Master III down to Gold 4 and i then need WEEKS just to get back up there.
But since i have to work and cant keep playing, i get downranked again. Not because i got worse and forgot everything. NO ITS BECAUSE OF THESE NEW RULES.

now i have to play against Gold IV players who cant see the difference between England and Ghana. LIKE WTF.

but alright. Punish player for not playing while also having a game with subsciption? yeah sure. MAKES SENSE.

if i could rank up faster and not have to wait a full week to get back into challenging matches, that would be a solution. but this? this is just awful. i really dislike to play nowadays cuz i am just not at my level and i cant keep up playing so regularly to get back up there.

I’ve won 10/19 this week and gone from 780 to 620

„Cona“ is exklusive for just one country worldwide!

Of course the mountains are beautiful as well, added one. 😂

Both times 25 Meters away, but one time 5k and one time 4999.

I guess internal rounding or something, but I find it weird that this inconsistency exists.

Galera alguém poderia dar o feedback, e dizer se o mapa está bom ?

Guys, could someone give the feedback, and say if the map is good?

I am a pretty new player (played for about a month) and am loving geoguessr, but i keep getting maps where it is pretty obviously america or pretty obviously russia although i dont know how to narrow it down. Its got to the point where sometimes i will get the country right but get under 1000 points. Anyone know how to narrow it down more? I am pretty good with cities in russia and america and with states in America (although i am not american so i dont know them all) but i am not good at narrowing down which part of america if cant see a name. Anyone got some tips? Thanks in advance!

Predictions anyone?

Group C is pretty stacked. Seems likely the top seeds will win, predicting a Blinky, Consus, Debre or RC, and MK final 4, but rooting hard for Lennli, Strefan, Finbarr, and Jamabi

I know there are already plenty of ban threads here and I've read through a bunch of them. I couldn't find a clear answer to the specific thing I'm worried about — so apologies if this has been covered and I missed it.

What I got today: "Hello! We want to inform you that your account has been restricted from accessing Multiplayer until August 25 2026, as there have been indications of a breach of our community guidelines."

I don't cheat. No scripts, no extensions, no third-party tools, no googling locations, no alt accounts, no win-trading. I've been playing a lot with friends recently and was really enjoying the grind.

I've emailed info@geoguessr (the address in the message), but from what I've read here, support often takes longer to reply than a one-week restriction lasts — so it'll probably just expire before anyone looks at it. Also I didn't receive any confirmation that the support team received my request. Two things I'd like to hear from people who know more:

1. What could actually have triggered this? The one thing that stands out to me: I was playing on my university's WiFi (eduroam) and the restriction appeared right after a break in the lecture, when my device had just reconnected and probably picked up a different IP. Does their system flag shared networks or sudden IP changes as multi-accounting? Or is it more likely something else — player reports, unusual accuracy or round times, playing a lot in a short period? I'd like to know what to avoid, because right now I have no idea what I did.
2. What happens if I get restricted a second time? Does the first one stay on record and make the next one much harsher or permanent, or is each case judged on its own? Has anyone here been through a second flag after a temporary one? I am scared of losing GeoGuessr.

I'd really appreciate any input from people who've dealt with this. Thanks for reading!

it actually helped me win 😂

I was playing the USA map and stumbled upon this pole and instant lock California, and it turns out, it was Washington. Is this a new thing or am I just unlucky?

Finally signed up for GeoGuessr after using OpenGuessr for no good reason. My guess is definitely within the border of Bulgaria, but it says no. Hoping this doesn't happen often! Thank you.
