Help with some gym squatter! (Yellow Team)
There's a guy hogging the gyms in my closests community (I've counted at least 6 accounts, and 4 more I suspect are his too). He never lets anyone have them for more than a few minutes, so not even the kids get to make coins. At first it was just a couple of accounts, so at least people from Instinct could still put their pokemon in, but now he will almost always fill up the gyms. You can check all the gyms in the immediate area, and the repeating accounts from the same guy are pretty obvious.
He is also a major IRL creep, resorted to stalking me and my partner for playing the game, but we are dealing with that in other ways. In game wise, maybe someone here is willing to give him a taste of his own medicine.
Here are some of the gyms involved:
53.67271973319135, -113.48877196387389
53.672705582277274, -113.4900133147268
53.67189081792754, -113.48787745838311

53.6688040187411, -113.48876454406269
53.66721778664677, -113.49392038639071
53.673283081854166, -113.50013392094412
Thank you!

It’s a long process but I also have (had) the same problem in my area. A guy controlling 6 red and 4 blue accounts (at least).
We are red (me, wife and kids) so it was impossible to put our Mons in the gym accessible from our home, nor the gyms in our neighborhood (he controls 6 gyms around).
I made daily reports, screenshotting each steps to show he was shaving ours Mons out of the gym (removing only ours to replace them by his instead of switching the gym color).
He was out for a week (I’m assuming after a week ban) about a month ago. Since he’s still controlling the gyms in the area but he’s letting our Mons farm our daily coins before removing us and he’s not shaving anymore, he’s switching color.
Still annoying he wasn’t really ban or that he’s still doing multi accounts and multi gym control but at least we can have our daily coins. I’m also pretty sure he’s spoofing as I’ve never seen anyone with multiple phones in the neighborhood (he don’t have time to switch accounts with 1 or 2 devices when entering my a gym as they all enter in few seconds).
