For example, they might have used a GPS spoofer or a bot to run the game while they weren’t actually using it.
This may happen for doing things such as falsifying locations, using emulators, unofficial software, or accessing Pokemon GO backends through third-party software, according to Niantic. There’s a lot of misinformation floating around about permanent bans. What we do know is that Niantic is planning to ban some accounts permanently for violating their terms of service. Even If You Get an Email, It Doesn’t Mean You Were Perma-Banned The same usage might also result in a temporary one to two month ban with the same effects (Pokemon not spawning, etc.) In some cases, accounts are permanently banned, but Niantic should send you an email if this is the case. This would mean that evolved Pokemon and some unevolved Pokemon simply stop spawning. If you use a modified client to log into the game (which could mean you’re spoofing apps) or access the game through an unauthorized third party app, like an IV checker, you might get shadowbanned. Many trainers believe that shadowbans could also exist. However, if you receive a soft ban because you appear to have played too much (such as catching too many Pokemon in a day or week or spinning too many Pokestops), then you might get a softban that acts that same but can last 24 hours or more. Redditor iamjli and others reported that spinning a Pokestop 40 times can sometimes “unban” a temporary soft ban early, but this might just be coincidence if the soft ban is temporary. According to Pokemon GO trainers, a soft ban can last anywhere from just a few seconds to a few minutes or a few hours max. The good news is that soft bans are temporary. And not all players are soft-banned when they travel fast in the game. For example, if you leave your phone alone for too long, it may temporarily lose connection to the server and not register the next spin that you try. The problem with identifying whether or not you’ve been soft-banned is that server connection issues and other game glitches can look just like a soft ban. The ban just prevented me from using pokestops and catching Pokemon, it lasted about an hour.” Was playing at the airport got on a 4 hour flight, logged back on once I landed and banned. On Reddit, Pe5xg1ft wrote that he got one of the temporary Pokemon GO bans when traveling on a plane: If the distance between two actions required someone to travel faster than the “speed lock” speed, that second action would fail. The soft ban is similar to a “speed lock” system that Ingress had set up, which applied anyone traveling faster than about 37 mph between events. Players on Reddit have noted that this often happens if your GPS seems off, such as if it appears that you’re traveling too quickly and might be using a GPS spoofer. For example, you may be soft banned if Pokestops spin but nothing happens and they remain blue, if you can’t spin Pokestops at all, or if you throw a Pokeball at a Pokemon and it hits, but the Pokemon simply doesn’t respond. You may be temporarily soft banned if you find that you can’t interact with elements in the game. Although Niantic hasn’t officially commented on this, the circumstantial evidence seems pretty strong. If there’s a possibility a player might be spoofing their GPS, then they may find themselves soft-banned. Pokemon GO players have been noticing for a while that Niantic is “soft banning” (temporarily banning) players whose GPS action looks sketchy, such as if it appears that you’re moving too fast in the game.
