How do you deal with spoofers on an everyday basis?
My local area has been a hotspot for spoofers over the last couple of weeks. The recent banwave did almost nothing to stop them, IMHO. If you too are in a similar situation, how do you deal with it? Would love to get some tips to manage gym control with these guys wrecking havoc in my area.

I have a buddy on another team that we shared a gym with eachother for over a month. He'd take it in the evening (after 10pm) and I'd take it in the morning (around 7am). The third team would often take the gym midday, sometimes around noon (forcing me to take it again around 6pm after work) but most days after 3pm.
The last couple weeks, a spoofer has been consistently taking the gym at 8:30-9am (when I'm commuting / arriving at work, can't defend it while driving). Been making it impossible to get my daily coins (as I work in the downtown core and can't hold a gym there for over an hour or two, and taking it back in the evening doesn't give enough time to get up to 50, assuming my buddy can even take it before midnight (some days he's more like 12:30, which normally isn't a problem because someone else would take it midday).
Our telegram chat has over 400 people although maybe 20 ish are active and raid consistently- we have many known sooofers in the chat, tbh everyone just talked it was pretty simple do not attack gyms if you spoof, if found and proven we will not allow you to raid with the group, besides that tbh no one cares at all and we never argue.
Many many times people have cried spoofer to find the true actual number is very low, I was called out for being spoofer ( I am level 40 with few high cp Blissey), turns out I work on top of a gym lol you would never “see me”.
I never bother with them just playing the game..
Dont know about your situation, but i have 3 gym in 500 meter radius, so coin is rather easy if iwant to get it...
In an old gym system, it become who is the most stuborn..
I fight daily in those days, actually some of that spoofer wonder who the hell is that valor spoofer that keep 3 little gym become red in the sea of yellow. No it wont stay red all the time, but they cannot keep it yellow all the time also.
They just dont know that legit player can do it also (within reasonable range) just take it at morning walk, evening after work, and late night if they still persistence to own it.
When Blissey come, i change my strategy to one gym/day..
So the point is, either you dont let it bother you or play the game of persistence with them..
