There is a lot of unanswered bans going around and Niantic is not doing anything to help the situation.
Our current Vanguards are not even able to help, they are just being told to drop the issue when legitimate players are banned and they start being asked by the player community to look into the bans.
The information on this issue needs to bleed over into the the Pokemon and Harry Potter for it to have any impact.
Clearly NIA is unable to differentiate between a legit trade and sell or buy trade and neither their 100% capable of determining an alt account or a causal friend who doesn't always play, but there to help you out sometimes. And it seems most of the bans are caused by these unsure allegations.
@Mr0bvious if you have only submitted portals since you reached level 10 and not continued to play that may be why you were banned. I have heard about non- Ingress playing pokemon go players buying level 10 amounts in order to submit pokestops and they may have thought that had happened with yours. I have submitted pretty much as much as permitted since reaching level 10, but I also continued to play and am now level 12
@pokestophope I’ve dropped into maybe 5 empty portals since reaching level 10 and occasionally hacked one so not completely inactive. I am sure there have been plenty of people that quit playing after level 10.
Let's be honest, the Help Center is just a robot with standard answerts. Nobody analise the problems. If you make a appeak to Help Center you just receive a email that inform you your account was terminated for no reasson. We need solutions for seriosly problems, no donuts. We invest money, time and passion to a game that kick us away for absoltly no reason man. In that situation me question is: if i play legit and i am banned why to dont cheat and use spoof? The result will be the same with less costs. If you really whan to prove that someone analyse the banned profiles then contact me on telegram: ktalin230. I give you details about my account for check . Stop selling donuts please.
I get your point, i also have been victim of banning for no reason, a random day a random niantic mail arrived, i was OPR banned, cause: "some agents reported you are askin for moneh to submit or review submission" i was shocked, thought it was a mistake or maybe i had misread the mail but actually got banned, the thing is I NEVER POSTED OR ASKED FOR MONEY, neither social media accounts, COMM, not even my fellow agent friends (Who tried to help me because they knew i was innocent), took me almost two months to appeal the ban, something that made me really mad for a while was the fact that the unban mail said "You are under 180 days probation, IF YOU COMMIT FURTHER VIOLATIONS YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE TERMINATED"
Further violations? What violations? because i didn't do anything also they did not provide actual proof i asked for any kind of payment (And i know they won't ever provide evidence), Just "you have been reported by some agents" then if i mass-report an agent i can get him bannned too?.
Your stories make me wonder what to do, i had an account banned, after some time of no response i just decided to create a new one, has not been banned so i thought may be i did something wrong with the other one and didnt even notice
I thought by now the ban emails would be different other than just ''you are banned man, create another account'' and the appeal system would be different other than ''i swear i reviewed this but you still going to be banned, create another account'' This is sometimes make me feel these bans are just made by somebody because he can or wanted to please somebody else
it makes you think sometimes if i should continue to even opr around or send pois

THREE weeks have passed since my groundless ban.
Our Vanguards would habe been my last hope, but I do not dare to write them personally...
I cry.
Even if NIA should unlock my account, it will never be the same again.
There is a pain that I can never shake off.
Therefore, I now cancel my vacation planning for the upcoming anomaly and say goodbye to the game.
A big thanks to my husband, who has kept to me and to @McFaul33, who recharged my over 1530 days old LTP for weeks.
Thanks for all the fish.
Even if it will never be the same again, i hope you will play again when you get your account back.

Just to let you know, @Blyde is unbaned 💙😊
I wonder if there is a E-Mail stating why the account was reinstated - or at least any information that is given...!?
The main problem is the zero communication regarding of why, sometimes it feel like somebody just banned someone because ... he wanted or can

We have a local agent that this has recently happened to as well. Email sent but no respond as of yet. What the Glitch
