I got banned

**lyan123** · 07-20-2016

I can't do anything anymore... can't move or anything, I'm banned/blacklisted

**Jaerin** · 07-20-2016

OMG the sky is falling!

I guarantee you when the bans start rolling you'll know it. Reddit will be on fire...

maybe close and restart the game?

If you read my thread you'd know if you are banned and not, and @Crazyhead you'd know that that won't work.

As for this thread. You should post what you used, for how long you had it running straight. Oh and you aren't banned yet. So post in the Pokémon GO Chat section instead.

It does look more like a bug. Even more because I am pretty sure they would use the "You are banned" screen that got dataminded instead of just making you unable to do anything ingame.

EDIT: Talking real ban, not softban.

if you can't walk it's because of nox. restart nox / pc, also had the issue this morning.
nothing to panic about

I can already imagine what the front page will be after the very first few banwaves:

"Niantic shut down my little brothers account without a warning"
"Did anyone with poor GPS just get hit by a banwave?"
"I think my account was broken into and someone used it to get me banned"
"My friend played on my phone for an hour and now my account is closed??"
"Here are instructions on how to appeal an unjustified ban"
"Niantic should publicly acknowledge that their algorithms are flawed"

Not, but seriously, to all people cheating: you are taking a conscious risk, acknowledge it and be prepared.
Many people enjoy the game so if you end up appealing a ban, do it privately. No need to pollute other forums.
