First I tried to mix a bit my self. I reinstalled the app, made a new account and tried to use my old nickname (the one with the error), and it said it was taken. That means if my account was deleted, which it isn't I would've been able to take that time. Try it out yourself.
Anyway, here is my theory.
Many youtubers, bloggers etc says that this is a permanent ban. But then the error would been different, or what? I think that Pokemon GO is trying to catch the botters, so they give this error to "all" who they think has botted out of their logs, even several legit users get this to, and then they create a ban appeal forum so "BOTTERS" will appeal and say like "I have never botted etc". When they receive the report, they check if the person actual have botted or not, and if he is - in a few days the real botters get banned, and the innocent gets the error away.
This seems to be realistic right? Since none on this forum I assume haven't been able to bypass the error, people who says it is removed says it for attention.
Come on, give your opinions.
EDIT: People who say it is a permanent ban, just do it for get attention and scare people. People who say they removed the error, says it for attention. From my experience, forums can be easily created, shared and boom roumours are spread. There is no evidence, right? Pokemon GO haven't said any shit about this, so don't listen to the liars. Listen to the people who speak true.
