So it's confirmed that Niantic isn't really reviewing their reports. Rather its an automated system doing their duties. While I thought that they had been carrying out bans properly, turns out that their system can be abused.
If you constantly report a player even without grounds of usage of any botting programs / spoofing or such. The account gets automatically banned.
While this is a semi competitive game, kindly avoid ruining the fun for legit players.
Ban appeals take weeks to a month to look into. So if you've been wrongfully banned, you've better off create a new account.

Creating a new account is really hard especially when you play it fairly. Even me will definitely get discourage and will just quit the game. Thinking all of your efforts, time, and even the gas cost for the travel just to catch Pokemons and conquer gyms.
Then suddenly you will get banned just because someone reported you wrongly because you have a strong Pokemon that can hardly be dethroned.
Well, this is another case that Niantic should look about or Pokemon Go might lose a lot of users.
Here's the story of a competitive Pokemon Player (Fitzelgard Allan Gerard) in Philippines. Who was recently got banned because of the Abuse Report System of Niantic.
"Lately there's been turf wars especially in rural areas that have maybe about 2-5 poke stops and like 1 gym every 500m, area's like Pardo, Basak, Talisay. So far the main turf wars are at Pardo Church/High School and that gym is always under turf war, the main one being in USJR Basak campus.
Around 6am before I head for morning classes, I always pass by the same route, spend about a few minutes to weaken the current gym, maybe conquer it, then head to USJR's 2 gyms placed side by side (for some odd reason it's just 5m away) and attempt to conquer those two, and finally, my last stop is E-Mall gym which is just opposite my school, the same process gets repeated when I leave from school and head home around 5pm.
When PGO released, there were about a few hacked valor accounts that took over all the gyms from Mambaling to Talisay, and so a few Mystic+Instinct groups took it back. But over the last few days, players have been catching up quickly thanks to Ayala's lure parties and so Level 6-9 Gyms are no surprise.
Sometimes conquering a gym only lasts for 5mins to and hour at best since they're placed around schools. Around 6am on 18th, I took Pardo+USJR campus, placed a 2k CP Snorlax and a 1.3k Alakazam. While the Snorlax one was defeated pretty quickly, the Alakazam gym managed to stand its ground until the 19th afternoon, I collected my coins and called it a night.
Today afternoon I logged in to redeem my coins, and bam. Account banned."
Fitzelgard Allan Gerard played very fairly and even travel far just to level up quickly and catch some rare Pokemons. He even share some tips to his co players how did he able to achieve his level. But now his account was banned because of the wrongly and abuse report system by Niantic.
Give us your thoughts and share the news or you might be the next Pokemon User Victim of Abuse Report System.
