You linked a thread with a couple people claiming they got banned for nothing but NOX use, but even more people saying NOX still works fine. You choose to ignore the fact that people who get banned are notorious for lying about what they actually did to get banned.
So you're right, there's really no need to debate the fact that you're a moron who refuses to accept that he probably only got caught cheating because he's a moron.

Nox the app still works fine, you can play Pokemon Go on it.
The issue is that you will get banned by Niantic sooner rather than later.
The people that have Snorlax in your town are not cheating. So don't start making excuses for them having what you do not.

Gavin has a dream team of wrecking ball pokemon. He's not butthurt because he has to beat the shit out of someone who may or may not be cheating.

People can still cheat, yes.
Can people still cheat undetected, no.
I really don't need to keep sustaining this stupid argument.
The whole thing boils down to "this guy has a pokemon that I don't, impossible HE MUST BE CHEATING"
And
"Only shitty pokemon spawn in our small town, I never leave the town and therefore never see rare pokemon. THEREFORE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYONE ELSE TO LEAVE THE TOWN AND CATCH RARE POKEMON. THEY MUST BE CHEATING"

I'm not talking pokeadvisor, I'm talking about a java app that trashes your 80 pokemons below 70% IV in less than 2s.
(Although I think that, if you did use Pokeadvisor today, you would probably risk a ban).

People are talking about getting banned from pretty much any third party access. It's very easy for them to tell when that happens. Less easy (impossible if done right) for them to tell when you're packet sniffing through a VPN, which can get you solid IV numbers.

I already said that them spending tons of cash on incubators was a possibility, but I also broke down exactly how much candy it would take to power three snorlaxes up that far which is why cheating seems far more likely. Despite Ossoi's ignorant crying to the contrary, it's super easy to cheat and get away with it.

Literally worse than Hitler.
So I decided not to use pgnexus anymore. I mean I assume that all the people who claim they got banned for nothing more than using an IV checker are lying, but at this point if there's anything higher than a 0% chance of getting banned, the convenience is no longer worth the risk. The appraisal feature is good enough to tell me whether I should immediately transfer a pokemon or keep it til I get back home and manually check the IVs, which saves me most of the time that pgnexus was saving me anyway. So unless Niantic flat out says stuff like pgnexus is kosher (which we know they won't), I'm done with them.
*edit*
Actually, once you learn the appraisal phrases, you can usually get exact IV values with the simple calculator on pokeassistant without having to fiddle with the level arc on silph road.

I enjoy the new appraisal system. It gives a nice immediate 'don't leave the app' should I keep this? Yes / No. Only two problems so far, the first being I now have a 177cp Horsea I can't transfer because it is 97%. I wouldn't have found it otherwise and would have immediately denched it.
The other is I have an allegedly 87% Bellsprout per goiv, but it is coming in as 'caught my attention.' / 'I am certainly impressed by its stats, I must say.'
So now I have to determine which I trust more when they differ. Overall, I haven't had another mismatch problem like this so far.
