I'm in the South. Interesting.
We know a lot of the damage being done in our area is location spoofers. We've caught them in the act.
For the most part, I think the main guys doing it are trolling everyone. A gym will get levelled up, they'll go in and take it down, often leaving it neutral. The gym will go back and forth between teams and bounce around from level 3-6. Eventually within a few days it might get levelled right up, only to be taken down by the spoofers again.
Clearly they're having fun with it. It's frustrating though. I'm not sure what Niantic has in store for a gym re-work, but, if they can't deal with the cheaters, what does it matter?
