Feature requests

Hi, sorry if this post is a bit OOT, but I really need an explanation. My account has been restricted from using every form of in-game communication, even emotes. I just want to know if this is permanent or not, because it’s been going on for almost three weeks now. I also couldn’t find anything about this issue on the help page, and honestly the GeoGuessr email support hasn’t been helpful either. It’s pretty frustrating having to pay for a game that I can’t fully enjoy because some features are locked for me.

Some scripts have the ability to instantly place a marker on the exact location. Sometimes the scripter clicks the 5k then moves away from it before guessing. Without the ability to zoom into the map to see exactly where they (or the script) first clicked, I can't be sure if they are cheating.

Right now it's kind of annoying to not be able to ping until you have entered your guess. Maybe we could implement something like right-click to ping before you have guessed. This makes it much more easier to communicate your ideas. People also don't like committing to a guess before the timer is up for obvious reasons which limits the opportunities for pings.

Hide and seek

It would be super helpful to be able to teleport to the location of your mate if they find something useful.

Was repeatedly insulted by a player in a game today. Either improve auto-flagging or add a way to report (or both)

Sometimes opponents in multiplayer can be annoying by spamming emojis during the game, mocking guesses, and similar behavior. There should be an option to disable this.

I like the new addition of 'investigations', however it feels very incomplete because there are a lot of factors we don't know about the suspected cheater. That's why I suggest letting them explain their guess in a round that was reported. For example, a player instasends New Zealand and their opponent reports the round. The suspected cheater receives a notification and they are given a chance (but don't have to) to explain how they guessed the country. They might write something like "I saw a NZ bollard" or "The landscape looks like South island, I am a kiwi myself" Of course, it easy to just lie but I think it would help because every person knows some metas that their opponents don't and that's one of the reasons why they might be suspected in cheating.

The frequency of people spamming chat endlessly with clearly insulting or intentionally distracting emoji's has gone up. I simply cannot focus on a round if there are frequent emojis popping up on the side of my screen, and while this is my own personal failing, such a thing shouldn't matter in a friendly game like Geoguessr. At the very least, this really shouldn't be an inescapable tactic that promotes toxicity within the player base. Please can you give us an option to hide chat from the in-game screen?

having individual multiplier in ranked duels the same way in the pro league would benefit the gameplay a lot and would prevent multi merchanting
