Foursquare cuts out cheaters, honest users alike


When Foursquare finally decided to crackdown on cheaters last week, they had the best intentions. The social network will no longer allow users to check-in to venues if the user is not in the "immediate vicinity" of the venue according to the company's blog. The problem is, and this became more and more evident last week, that most users have created venues outside of the "immediate vicinity" of the actual venue location.

Though this is another frustrating issue (among many) the mobile social network has suffered over the past few months, Foursquare is working to fix its misplaced venue locations according to the blog post.

"If there are certain places that are consistently giving you a problem, tell us about them and we’ll make sure to look into it: http://4sq.com/4sqGeoWoes," Team Foursquare said in the blog post.
