I was given a warning earlier today for suspicious activity and I'm not sure why? I made sure no scripts were running and I'm not using any external software or hardware, nor am I using any glitches as far as I'm aware. I was clicking a click list on mobile when it popped up so I'm not sure if that has something to do with it? I also debated whether me having multiple pokeheroes tabs open on my phone contributed to this, since many actions open new tabs and I don't always close all of them, but I've done this in the past and am just now receiving this, so I'm not sure.

if its the test where they give you 3 pokemon to choose from (with an image of the correct one), its just an test to see whether u r using autoclicker, its random)

I actually doubt it's the interaction 'Are you a human?' test, as I've been told that it doesn't actually do anything but stop you from interacting. If you answer it wrong or still interact for long periods of time without noticing the bot check is up, nothing will happen, to my knowledge.

Regarding your question, I have no idea why you got a warning though. It must be from the auto anti-cheating thing put in place on this site, and you got a warning from the automatic checker.

Yeah I just don't know why the auto checker gave me a warning and I'm afraid to go back to the click lists in case it gives me another one and I get banned even though I'm not cheating :/

I believe the checker checks if you're clicking in different places it seems.
Think it detected you were clicking in one place for a long time and gave you that warning coz you didn't see the checker and you moving from that same spot

Or you had the same speed throughout the whole thing

I was watching a movie while clicking so I was clicking for a while. I doubt I was clicking at the same speed the whole time though lol. I'm guessing you're right it that it may have been a mix between me clicking for a while and maybe not seeing some of the checks quick enough (even though I thought I was getting them pretty quick), but the fact that I apparently can't have anything done about having the warning on my account despite me not cheating sucks.

I think it’s just random. Iirc, it doesn’t just pop up on clicklists, it also sometimes pops up when you’re just going to a Pokémon’s profile, and also sometimes pops up as soon as you select a clicklist, before you’ve done any interacting. That is if what you’re talking about is actually just the “are you a human” test and not actually saying anything about “suspicious activity” like you said.

No, I'm not saying the checks are suspicious activity. I got a pm from Riako saying I got a warning from the ani-cheating tool due to "suspicious activity", even though I wasn't cheating. That's the issue.

What did it actually say? Do you have a screenshot? I don’t think any of us here have ever heard of anything like that before.

I don't know how to attach screenshots unfortunately. The pm itself reads "

The following warning has been created and sent out automatically by our anti-cheating detection tool:

Quote
Cheating on the interaction feature:

Rule 5.1: Cheating includes the use of external software or specialized hardware (e.g. a mouse with two left-click buttons) to simplify any feature in this game, but also taking advantage of any kind of bug. It is absolutely forbidden to cheat in any way to ensure fairness.
Note that this rule includes - but is not limited to - the following tools: Click bots, user scripts, multiple hardware devices (e.g. two mouses, a mouse with two left-click buttons).

Evidence Protocol: Caught 1-times within the last 4 hours. Last time caught on Jan 30th, 07:06 PM. (Case #7/16330)"

and when I contacted support they just responded, "The site has software that spots suspicious activity and it not something moderators can change. Please make sure you are not using any scripts or external hardware to assist in your activities." I said I wasn't using any external software, hardware, scripts, nor glitches and they just told me to either contact Riako directly or post in this forum. I know I essentially got the warning for "suspicious activity" like support said, I just have no clue what activity I was doing was considered suspicious :/

pretty sure the system isn't 100% accurate on catching cheaters anyways.
there's some people who get unlucky and some can get away with it

As I've seen some newbies can get away with this. They get like 1mil interaction or more within weeks then appear on the 30 day interaction and they're less than a month old

its the system who to blame, not the modmins tho. its just how it works. Just make sure ya watch the 'human' thingy time to time
