Will I be permanently banned?
I've been using this bot
http://www.mpgh.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1167435 for a few days straight now. Logging off the bot and onto my account on my phone to check up on it. I have been softbanned a few times but will I be permanently banned?
Yes you can get banned just dont use it constantly... for example... 18 hours straight lol thats what i did with Necro and got banned because I was lvl 30 in 18 hours all in the same day xD but just dont use it for a long time around an hour or two i guess and breaks in between idk I dont play Pokemon go anymore lol Just my opinion.
The bot appears to be outdated right now and it is recommended that you don't use the bot.
In regards to whether if you will be permanently banned, or not, then you would have to look at the factors.
If you used the bot "straight for a few days" which I assume is non-stop, then there is a higher chance of you getting permanently banned.
You said you are soft banned at the moment and that might be because of change in locations.
You will just have to see.
