I'm wondering if perhaps the method being used to checkin is what they are keying on. I was loading up the iPhone FourSq app and checking into various places within a few miles and doing it quickly so they didn't have a fix on my location. If I took too much time typing/searching for the place I would get the dreaded "looks like you're too far away" thing. Could be these post with a "not certain of location" or somesuch. Is this what caused Celeste to blackball me?

I'm now using AutoSq but potentially since I'm referencing those older checkins for the location, I could be repeating my mistake. Wondering if I should delete all prior checkins and actually drive over there to get a precise fix in the mobile app, then use that for my Auto checkins going forward.

Anybody know anything? Got any theories?
