GF GPS spoofs 2 blocks away from where she works in Midtown Manhattan bannable?
As the title suggests, my girlfriend works in Midtown Manhattan and 2 blocks away there is a spot with 4 pokestops (lures up at times) and she GPS spoofs her location to there (only during work, usually 4-5 hours per day). She turns off her fake GPS location when she is busy with work and plays normally the rest of the time, she is level 28. My question is is there anyway she can be banned for this?

From what I've seen, anything below 5km isn't suspicious and will not get you flagged. Unless you used a bot to level up to level 28?

ITT: no one has any ****ing idea because none of them work for Niantic. Good rule of thumb, if you cheat the system, you'll more than likely get caught

I have been botting for decades. The only time I was ever banned was in the days of Glider for WoW, and I was acting really stupid. I have botted EQ, GW2, Diablo 1-3, SWTOR, LOTRO, FFXIII, ESO, and several other MMOs. My first piece of advice is, if you are afraid to lose the account, then do not bot it anymore because we have not seen Niantic's criteria for banning. My second piece of advice is, if you are going to spoof, then do not act and look like all of the other cheaters. If she is spoofing in a popular location where 10,000 other people are spoofing then she is asking for trouble. My final comment is, I doubt that Niantic can prove she was spoofing 4 blocks away if she only did it one time.

All I've done against the ToS is
1) using third party trackers
2) sniping (only in the past 4-5 days)
3) gps spoofing (mostly for handling my gyms)
I legit leveled to 29 without any bots or anything, and that is considering I started 5 days late. I think accounts under 31 aren't gonna be hit for the level, but moreso maybe from the strange places they go.
