Re: Starting over with new account after suspension.
This is really between you and niantic. Even if you gave evidence here, it isn't like niantic pays attention to this forum AT ALL.
Re: Starting over with new account after suspension.
I'm probably the most reported player in my area because my opposition loves to hate me. I've never been banned. They've accused me of everything under the sun. So it's unlikely anyone can get banned purely because of mass reporting. Although Niantic could have changed that. Maybe I'll be next lol.
Re: Why can't the Intel map be integrated into Campfire like the Pokemon raid map is?
IITC Mobile is just a Web Proxy for your Browser. There are ways to detect it but for the most part it behaves much like your normal web browser, only limited to just the Intel site. It just takes the data from Intel and displays it in a different manner, locally on your device. It's not modifying the requests your device sends to Niantic (by default), instead it's just modifying how it looks. It's functioning the same way as just pressing F12 on your keyboard and modifying the HTML on a webpage (only a lot more advanced lol).
The plug-ins you use for IITC may make a boatload more requests to Niantic's servers, as well as other aspects, that could flag your account on Niantic's end. But aside from the Browser Proxy, if you're using standard plug-ins Niantic wouldn't see anything different. They don't necessarily encourage you to use it because it could cause your account to be flagged, but at the end of the day it's just easier to stay silent and not endorse or outright reject it.
Re: Would GPS-less play work in Ingress?
Precisely. There is basically no communication now.
No community manager, no AMAs, no lore. No ingress reports, no videos at all.
What annoys me more than all that, is there are agents who have been playing (almost) as long as me who just seem to be good with it.
They keep funneling money into niantic via the store, core, swag, etc. They are paying more and getting less. That is what simply blows my mind.
Re: Goodbye scanning, goodbye CORE
A quick update on my situation:
- During Operation Chronos there were several portals near me which needed more scans to be able to be activated. I was able to scan these with the Niantic Wayfarer app, and my scans were of sufficient quality to be able to activate the portals and use them in Ingress once activated. So it is evident that, although Niantic have changed the hardware requirements within Ingress, my phone still produces usable scans.
- Because of inventory overload during Chronos, I reactivated my CORE membership. I have also kept it active for the current event. It used to be that I was a CORE member whether I needed it or not, because I wanted to support Niantic. Now I will choose to have CORE membership when I need it (special events, anomalies), and cancel it when it doesn't benefit me.
Re: Local agent has been banned twice for harassing and is active again
Its a three strike system, the third strike is a termination not the second one
Re: Local agent has been banned twice for harassing and is active again
Sounds like if this is harassment or the agents feels unsafe, they should contact their local authorities (ie Police), not Niantic.
Re: Show all portals
Are you one of those agents that use unsanctioned products then complain they were 'banned for no reason' ..... 🤔
Re: I made the world record again! Leveling up from 1 to 16 in only 94 minutes
You need an event when there is 2x AP and 3x multiplier from APEX. Then you need to build a base with 40 portals to link to with the link order being from the farthest to the shortest. And finally you need a place with at least 40 portals where you can linkg to those 40 base portals that you have connected together. I live in a city with only 120k citizens so it doesn't have to be NYC.
