If anyone ever gets wrongly accused of spoofing, they can take a selfie at the portal

  • There's a saying from where i come from.

    "I'm here to keep the bastards honest".

    If you can't even say hello in COMM, who is really being harrased? xD

    Long time ago I told Niantic to just disable COMM chats, less problems for everyone and less tickets for Niantic. The rest of their games have no chat at all and this is for a reason.

  • I was coming here today to check to see if Niantic has improved spoofing detection or the ability to report spoofing.

    But it does seem not much has changed. my 666 day portal just got taken down by a lvl 6 unknown player, who had to break First Nations COVID trespassing to appear and smash the portal only to disappear.

    It seems that Spoofing as long as it is only 1 portal at a time is alive and well. I assume their is no in reporting.

    I strongly disagree with you, there is no need to foment this kind of behaviour which promotes xfac harasshing.

    I take pictures of myself at hard to reach portals occasionally but they rarely leave my phone, certainly not planting them on a a public forum.

    They are backup in case somebody with some sort of credibility wants to see me there. (Niantic for example) Or just for my own team/friends as a fun shot or keepsake of some kind.

    I feel zero motivation to "prove" my legitimacy towards some peckerheads arbitrarily calling me a spoofer because they consider the portal hard to get to and therefore want evidence. You can come over and we'll have a beer or something but otherwise, go bother somebody else with that bs.

    I've got a 130million+ ap count, and a small fortune in badges. (character and event)

    You are absolutely living on a different planet, possibly even dimension, if you think it's reasonable I'd risk my account over a portal, link or field somewhere on that basis alone.

    I've been in this game since 2016. If you can't just assume I don't cheat at this point then I can't help you.

  • Let's be honest, the only people you should have to prove where you where is your own team.Several local ingress groups I'm in require a snapshot especially a harder to get to big portals oh, that way when cross faction accusation start flying they can just post a photo.

    I think the best I posted so far was plane tickets and bank account stuff from me in another state when accused another account of being me.
