ZombieSazza

I would not be fighting this hard if I weren’t innocent more than a week later, to the point I’m willing to concede to an account warning, losing sojourner and whatever else is required to get my account back!

Thank you for reading and your consideration.

even for my own account, they just… stopped replying. So a person unrelated was dragged into the emails 3 times, the responses were unhelpful, only eventually replying after a LOT of pressure was applied. Just a massive mess

How Niantic aren’t making data available to me (and legally couldn’t, because I’m not multi accounting the accounts dont belong to me, which means legally the data could not be sent to me regarding the alleged accounts as this would be in breach of the General Data Protection Regulation)

Anyway folk suggested contacting you again because all we can do is hope to get this resolved, instead of ignored. the waters were muddied with 3 emails with the wrong persons username,

to continue helping with recharge rooms as I wanted to help RES agents on the ground whether I got a badge or not for the event, continuing submitting and creating portals, continue taking part in Scottish events (FS/SS/MD/Shards), continue creating missions, continue reviewing on OPR.

like I’d have accepted an account warning and lost sojourner (2,039 days) to just get my account back! I just want to continue contributing to the Scottish RES community by recharging any portal keys donated to me by other agents (they’d regularly donate caps of hypers to keep everything charged)

I’ve been nothing but polite and patient, I’m just trying to actually speak to a human being and figure out this mess and why I’ve been instant banned. I’ve put a near decade into ingress and I’m genuinely depressed I can’t even fight this

& are puzzled why this gets an instant ban and no unban when so many obvious & repeated, griefing multi-accounters get warnings and suspensions. Like even spoofers don’t get banned, but me and my partner have been. Also puzzled as to why Niantic are just outright refusing to even reply to me at all

@brianrose.bsky.social @nianticspatial.bsky.social @ingress.com
hello, it’s me again;
with the help from other agents after receiving the email stating “banned for multi hacking” we figured out Niantic have mistaken my partner/very occasional agent for a second account

@brianrose.bsky.social finally got a proper response from Niantic… I’m NOT “magibalthazar” & have NO IDEA who that is! Would’ve thought putting my username “ZombieSazza” in the report form would have cleared that up?! Can I get my account back because they’ve very clearly terminated THE WRONG PERSON

Portals created in Scotland (1,320 seer points)

Portals created in Aberdeen (my city)

throwing anything at the wall at the moment to just prove I’m a good player and upset over the termination, hence fighting so hard to just be heard and get my account back

@brianrose.bsky.social i‘ve sent a new appeal through the form as I haven’t had a response in a couple days other than an automated “we investigated thoroughly” after 2 minutes :/
included images to show that I’ve been playing for a long time, achievements, contributions (map shows portals created)

thanks for your time and consideration!

Any help would be appreciated! Unsure how to prove I haven’t done anything but folk did ask if I’d used VPNs when reviewing on OPR (I do), and how bad my GPS drift is (I’m surrounded by granite buildings, I don’t interact with portals but it does ping me down the river a lot)

Hello again! yes it was through the above form! I responded to the automated message and haven’t received a response

I was really wanting to complete the event badges I’d paid for (purchased all of the redux badges), that and the whole devastated I cannot access my account

I’m so sorry for spamming you by the way, you can tell I’m passionate about ingress, haven’t done anything dodgy, and well known within the Scottish and UK community. Thank you for your time

Hello! Yes it was through the contact form above (Ingress support ticket, 29452). I responded to the message I got within minutes explaining at length that I haven’t done anything, and only ever got the exact same response

@brianrose.bsky.social i don’t mean to be pushy or keep spamming but I’ve been a dedicated player for near a decade, made lots of progress, spent lots of money and made loads of friends and connections through ingress and never done anything to warrant a termination :(

yes I do not know why they are being so intentionally vague, just absolutely nothing except the standard response email and “we can’t undo this”

I will say thank you kindly for giving me a good chuckle with your reply, and thanks for helping kind froggo ^_^

RIP sojourner, it was at 2039 days and lapsed at 2130 hours

Hi @nianticspatial.bsky.social could yous help? I submitted a support ticket but got a response within 2 minutes with the “we can’t help you”. I don’t know how else to prove I haven’t done anything to get banned, I’ve never even had any warnings!

This is the sort if thing I like to do in ingress, I enjoy exploring remote parts of my country and finding interesting points of interest for portal submissions, my seer badge is 1320 and is one of my main contributions in game! That and local play, thanks @brianrose.bsky.social

Found an older post from Niantic’s player stories, just to show that I’m just a regular but dedicated player! It’s harder to prove you haven’t done something so I’m just showing stuff I’ve been involved in I guess!

So again, I don’t know what’s triggered this, but my support ticket got a standard “we can’t help you” after mere minutes. it’s disheartening, I don’t know how else to prove innocence at this point.

Thank you for reading and potential help, as I am unsure what else to do

I just wanted to add to this to show yesterdays gameplay (of how normal it was) and achievements: just a normal player who really enjoys contributing to the portal system, yesterday I got a cool portal accepted, gameplay for second Sunday and some top 5 achievements for Scotland/UK

Here’s hoping our Lord and saviour Brian sees this

Yeah the reply to the ticket was FAST! I replied saying none of what they said even made sense and haven't heard from them since, beyond confused!

Please help, I’m confused and genuinely asking for help (I literally created a bluesky account to contact you) because I straight up haven’t done anything to deserve this. Thank you.

so no VPN use to hide location (I only use a VPN to watch content from other countries and ALWAYS turn it off before loading Pokémon, pikmin and ingress), no weird apps, i don’t have a second phone, I don’t use an iOS beta
