So there was a very long thread finally closed recently, with the trolling user finally banned. It will never be clear if the user in question was trolling us, or if he honestly believed the incorrect things that he was posting about OPR rules. We do know for certain that that user was indeed submitting rules-violating portals.
But he has also now caused several users to receive unfair Warnings and Blocks on our forum accounts, myself included. My sin was posting the lyrics to a public domain song, in protest of Niantic staff's inability to shut down the thread.
We collectively feel that most of the warnings and flags on the affected accounts should be reevaluated, and removed. But we don't really have much hope that this will happen.

According to a new discussion in the OPR forum, now that the first username has been banned, a second username is now rampaging through and trying to further disrupt our accounts' statuses, using Dislikes and such. It's only a matter of time before they start using Flags too.
and a third user name from a bot account (as evidenced by the stats)
Adding to the conversation.
Niantic deleted today's thread.
The 2 "new" hydra heads are still active on the forum.
Agents incorrectly marked today repeated have not been corrected.
So at the end Niantic killed a thread showing the problems instead of actually fixing the problems.
They should actually remove the other now closed thread. It has too many inappropriate suggestions from the now banned user. If they want pogo players to to take reviewing seriously then show they are serious by not having 69 pages of ranting. There are currently normal threads about wayfarer on the board.
It was removed because it was off topic for the forum it was in. And the way the OP was written, it was clearly an attempt at harassment. So do teh right thing this time and just drop the stick already. Your failure to do so last time is what resulted in your "jail" after repeatedly doxxing the individual. Two wrongs never make a right after.
Excuse me? My failure to what?
I did not dox him one bit, everything I mentioned was stuff he publicly confirmed on this forum.
Also, The corrections I am talking about today have nothing to do with my warnings, they have everything to do with a user buying 2 additional botted accounts and logging into this forum and spamming users with dislikes because they got banned.
By correcting the problem I was saying Niantic should have banned the 2 additional accounts that clearly came on this forum to h a r a s s individuals.
Edit: Just to make things clear, I will not let a user come on here and bully/h a r a s s/spread lies... I repeatedly tried to help the user before ever trying to prove them wrong in a situation. My intentions were always to ever spread factual information.
Edit 2: Also to the same point, when he was just "ignored" he spread to multiple other threads trying to cause trouble. Niantic has proven time and time again they refuse to do anything to help this forum.
Yeah whenever we left him to himself he would just spam reply nonsense. We were all frustrated and like I said this morning, everything that was posted in the threads @AgentB0ss was warned about were things he confirmed/gave approval to be posted in the forums.
I got a warning replying to another comment of a user bashing pogo players with false accusations. I since deleted the comment but it wasn't meant as a ToS violation. There have been a lot of comments that are accusing others of wrong doing or trying to assume pogo players will cheat the system in Wayfarer,
Who knows what the future holds for pogo Wayfarer, but I certainly won't miss that individual. I think more time to check the situation (thread) is needed before permanent marks are given.
@0X00FF00 @AgentB0ss not to beat a dead horse but I just noticed I received a warning on October 18th too for a comment made in those posts from September in which my worse offense was commenting on reading abilities.
I really wish they would reconsider the permanent warn status.
Yea, I am now whatever about it. Even after the thread died and they used the multiple alts to report I received an additional warning from the thread. They didn’t even add what comment it was based on.
In the AMA he said it's only for 30days but that's not what our warnings say...
The warning is forever, the jail (and limitations there of) are 30 days
I hope they will drop by the forum once the tesselation thingy thing ends/concludes?
One can hope....
But hey, at least we can hope ingress is still here in 40 years more....eh? xD
@NianticCasey
In light of your recent intervention in a new thread, with at least one of Timerciock's alternate ingress accounts being disciplined, perhaps it is also time to look further into this previous situation again as well.
A lot of us were unreasonably flagged, warned, and disciplined because of that earlier thread. We were collectively calling out for intervention on Niantic's part, but our cries had gone unheeded. I myself was only "warned" as a direct result of my protest against your lack of quicker intervention. It seems that @AgentB0ss received the largest brunt, to the point that now he cannot even post a new topic. But we're not the only victims.
In addition, AgentB0ss also has (to my knowledge) the most collected knowledge of Timer's own admitted cheating and duplicate/purchased accounts, at least two of which are very obviously "botted" up to Level 10: Onyx translator badges and almost no other ingress activity. I myself don't know what the usernames of Timer's third (fourth?) accounts are here in the forums.
Just to add my two pence, ive also been jailed, im assuming due to a comment I made on that thread, however I have NEVER recieved a warning, which according to the AMA I should have got, just instantly Jailed.
Also the 30 day expiration date expired a couple of days ago, funny enough I am still jailed, which has stuffed the couple of invalid portal rejects ive wanted to appeal.
All this due to someone who has subsequently been banned, and its continuing to abuse the TOS by multi accounting
It's not 30 days it's more like 30 years.
It was mentioned in an AMA that the jail feature was only supposed to be for 30 days
Was it meant in general or for specific offenses? Each forum warning is 30 years, and they stack. You need three to get jailed.
Apparently you don't, as i managed to get jailed on my first warning
You can see the stuff here:
Once you click Moderation you can scroll down and see the reports. Not all of them contain much of anything though.
@AgentB0ss , ta for that still only has the one thing on it though
That is so crazy that they put you to level 3 immediately... I have 4 separate strikes. You clearly have just the 1... thats nuts.
Im special me 😎🤣🤣🤣🤣
@NianticCasey Can something finally be done? These are very HARMFUL and false allegations from Lonsriots.
Not only is everything in these messages FALSE. The user Lonsriot is Gabriel0322, not only that its the third account SINCE Ganriel0322 has been banned. This user is alive and well... as they even themselves confirmed in. https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/comment/31093#Comment_31093

We are all tired of the constant lies, the constant new accounts, the constant purchasing of accounts. These posts are clear harassment of both @imseethru and @Jasonwhut by a user who continually lies, cheats, and manipulates.
Edit: Im adding a screenshot in case the user decides to edit their messages.
@AgentB0ss
I dont know what im impressed by more, the fact you can see he posts (how ? I can't figure it out lol)
Or the sheer blatant lie of them claiming the person has died despite posting pictures in another thread of them alive and well and saying they had recovered from the heart attack
Advanced search, using their user name in the author section.
He's claiming they are the ones harassing him. It's hilarious.
