Anti spoof / bot measures

So Niantic is slowly taking action that should mitigate the botting and spoofing problem. Initially it'll probably mostly help nerfing bots.

• Rare pokemon are invisible for flagged accounts
• Flagged accounts can't buy items in the shop

The first fix should make trackers highly unreliable, and for the same reason prevent automated farming as soon as a bot is detected. While it might seem insignificant it cracks down on the shadow market for accounts for sale.

The second fix should make it harder to sell lure-bot -accounts. Basically a fire and forget account for sale at relatively low level with a few lures. Populating gyms with these accounts for a week in order to buy an eight-pack lures will pretty much become pointless.

All in all a good start and welcome news.
