Report and Carry On?

I'm Lvl 34 and lucky enough to live within striking distance of 15 regularly high-level, stable gyms. I tend to inhabit 11 or 12 at a time, rejoining one every other day on average.

While joining gyms today I got definitive proof that my lucky situation is enhanced by others' cheating.

Half of my gyms are initially or inevitably inhabited by a pair of trainers (Lvl 35 & 27) run by the same spoofer - and the other half are inhabited by another pair of trainers (Lvl 39 & 30) run by the same spoofer. All four might be run by the same spoofer for all I know, but I believe there are two.

Sure, it's nice to regularly be sandwiched between a 31xx Blissey and a 27xx Blissey, but tonight I saw two legit players (Lvl 27 and 29) take a pair of gyms that were retaken within minutes. I doubt they were even able to collect for both.

I've reported all four spoofed trainer names, but can I do more? The only things I can think of are almost entirely inconsequential. Barring any great alternatives, I'll probably just keep joining these gyms (they are the only convenient ones nearby) and sitting in relative safety among their tainted megamons.

It's just sad to see legit players get knocked out like that. At least the legit players were being social and getting some exercise tonight... perhaps they lost the gyms but will win in the long run.

As a fair captain america player the right thing to do is report it to niantic and just wait to the accounts get banned, just like you would never keep that coin you find on the floor to yourself because the rightful owner will come back for it. Personally I think you have more chance to get banned for annoying niantic with reports of spoofing than for ruining the game spoofing or using bots. Feel free to hack the game whenever you wan't, just don't use IV calculators, that niantic ban.

all you can do is report and hope that niantic pulls its finger out. Just the way the game is unfortunately
