You were caught cheating and rightly banned for doing so.
So please spare us the crocodile tears of being 'unfairly' banned when the issue was entirely your fault.
No sympathy, nor stuffs given for your predicament.
I just wish there was a bit more proactive action to rid the game of other known cheaters, spoofers, dual account players - and those previously banned for such activities, who have come back with new accounts...
A message from the victim. Took me a year to get that field up. 1 hour drive, £20 ground tour of Althorpe. A month of subs along the Leicester round/Midshires. A whole day trying to find a legit way into Bradgate stables. (30 min walk). All the kills, links and rails I put in and then back to Bradgate to link it. Then 2 days of clearance and waiting for the floods so I could wade knee high in water to put up the fields so some chap in their bedroom could spoof it. I’m not a great player and have absolutely no objection to legitimate play in this wonderful game but to lose it with a no effort spoof really made me think what’s the point. However I was absolutely overwhelmed by the general response and the reinstatement of my work.. You guys are an amazing community.❤️
Unsure who you are as you're not the original poster, if you are the original poster you seem to have made more than one ingress account which is against the terms of service, you should really understand the simple rules of the game which make it fair for everyone.
One account per agent, just because you don't play an account in game doesn't mean it won't give you an unfair advantage, you can use it for 2000 free inventory spaces or to claim free codes for instance. You really should read the rules.
I can give Niantic a list of players and their backpack accounts and they will never ban them. They don't ban for multiple accounts. In fact it's become pretty standard to actively play with multiple accounts.
So you're suggesting it's okay to backpack? So we should all not pay for CORE as we can get x3 more space than core if we just make another account, how is that fair for all the people who pay for CORE, I wholeheartedly 100% disagree with your comment.
As noted, it’s not an exhaustive list, but I think playing with multiple accounts for the same service, includes using the other account as storage/whatever multi accounters do with their second, third, fourth accounts etc.
Including a ENL player who was caught cheating at the Brighton Anomaly last year, with numerous second accounts and GPS 'tweaks'.
Yet they are freely walking around London most days with yet another account.
Serious breaches really need some way of a perma ban that means just that. If that includes blocking a device IP address from registering an account, then so be it.
No one wants cheats in the game, and certainly not for them to easily return shortly after being banned, under a new name.
Not saying it's ok but every area has them and there's nothing stopping them. Communities even accept them. I've caught so many over the years and there's nothing anyone can do about it. It's the reality of what the game has turned into.
You spoofed allthorp (not Bradgate) and seem to have set up 2 new accounts. Not judging: Just pick one to play with and I’m sure you will find we are all a friendly bunch. The game is not very good without opponents. All water under the bridge now and I hope you continue to enjoy a new start in ingress. Best wishes, Spathea.

That's the problem. I think there's a way around even that.

Well said @Spathea 👏
You have me confused. I have never taken down a portal near Bradgate. Neither am I playing in my house!
Shotix we have played around MK for years.
So if players on the opposition aggressively report your players, you should just give up playing already?

Pretty sure it's having more than one active account that's against ToS. If ones deleted then everything is ok.

Thats very sad.. and maybe true. Hopefully its just a period, because of them making something to will make it easier for them to act later on.

It's absolutely not ok, but if your account is deleted you can make a new one.

You have all misunderstood me. I mean when your are banned or deactivated you can start again.
Would it not show them as Scout Controller ? (ie they could look on intel and see this?)
Scanning on low data / a lot of phones/ limited time/ aircraft is basically impossible.
I think we all can.

I'll still report backpacks. At least it's more data for NIA in case they do something else bad.
