Necronomicon wrote @everyone Due to legal action being started against other bot creators/devs (we did not receive a letter yet) the Project development will be stopped. All Source Files / Downloads will be removed. We now have to say Good Bye to the awesome Community. Over 100k Members on Discord and 500k Downloads a day! The Discord Community will remain open for Discussions. It was fun, we had a nice time. Thank you for the Donaions, all Devs will be getting their share by today.

ziggy wrote @everyone Alright chat is closed right now due too much cancer, the bot for now is closed due to xyz having to stop working on the project, clustering is down right now so even when the servers are stable the bot won't work like before. If people wish to they can fork the project off where xyz left off, he left the latest source code on github before he discontinued the project

Thanks to xyz for all the hard work he put into the bot alone, and thanks to the ones who donated to help with server costs and to the rest of the community who loved using this bot.

• Soft IP ban: Temporary ban of the IP address but not the account. All accounts on the IP will be unable to see Pokestops and Pokemon. Usually goes away after 20 mins (give or take) of not accessing the Pokemon GO API from that IP.
  
• Hard IP ban: Permanent ban the IP address. This happened to cloud providers like AWS. You can't log in or access Pokemon GO at all from the banned IP. This does not go away.
  

• Soft Ban: Account-specific, time until unban variates.
  
  
  • Pokestops give no loot, and Pokemon always flee. (This is the original soft ban.)
    
  • Spinning a Pokestop works as normal, but Pokemon flee instantly. (Added today)
    
  • Pokemon don't spawn. (Added recently)
    

• Hard ban: Permanent ban [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . This is the new ban that botters have been getting. If you get a login error, it doesnt mean youre banned for sure, but if you were botting or teleporting and you can't log in on that account from any IP, and you can use other accounts - good chance thats a hard ban.
  

DurtyFree wrote @everyone Yes, we are aware of bans occuring. Currently, there has been no official Press Release by Niantic. Yet we are pretty sure it is a banwave. Currently it appears that the best way to verify if your account(s) have been banned, is to log in the mobile application. If you recieve a message stating that you failed to recieve any information, and are unable to login, this may be a ban. It is NOT CONFIRMED yet, but we highly believe it is. Our dev team is hard at work making the bot safer. Such as dynamically generated routes that follow the road correctly. For now, it is suggested that to prevent any further bans, you bot in a location near the IP/proxy you are using, increase delays to human values (Use your brain for this. Delays are in milisecconds), enable Humanization features and limit/remove sniping. We will keep working towards a safer, undetected bot. We can never make any promises, but we will try our best. Bans were expected. We simply have to tough through it and keep working on.
