Use Incubator if available Limited Incubator Settings Use for 10 km eggs Unlimited Incubator Settings Use for 2 km eggs Use for 5 km eggs Prioritize rare Pokemon I bot for about 2 - 3 days a week at a rate of 3 - 4 hours per day. Always local. This has been my 5th account since they all keep getting banned. Should I only use this bot once per week? An hour a day? I'm not seeing any reports on these threads in regards to this warning, so I thought I would share it with the rest. Please advise. Thanks in advance, DK
it can mean that your account was flagged prior to the updates we have done with PF, or it could be a completely false flag, but the current build of PF is safe at this time, as per what iCKR said.
I get the same message today. My settings are the same. I bot 4-5 days in a week for 3-4 hours. always in the same country, better it's the same city of my living-country. I never logged in with a smartphone or a tablet since the bot is running (only for choosing the team (yellow, red or blue) and catching the starter-pokemon). Today I logged in with my IPad, (i shut down GPS-service for PokemonGO-App in the settings), only for viewing the pokedex and show to some friends. The message appear. But why? This bot-account wasn't running since january. I activated it after the last ban-wave, because I lost my other account. I logged in twice today, after login the message appears, so I get it twice today. EDIT: Maybe Niantic found a way to find botters and you don't know of it?
If you're worried, i'd just stop botting for now. PF works fine and is undetected, that's all i can say.
