Clarification regarding automation and account sales

New measures have been put in place to detect automation. (As of Feb 8th 2016.) This data gathering has continuously been building records the Administration will use to decide whether or not to ban for automation.


Some guidelines:
- When automation is detected with a sufficient degree of certainty on the part of the Administration (in the period Feb 8th 2016 through present), the account involved is banned, regardless of changes in ownership.
- When an account is banned, all of its trade history will be examined for patterns.
- If an account (A) has a significantly biased trade pattern in relation to a banned account, the account (A) will either be banned, or a significant reduction in statistics will be enforced.
- The logs used to support our decision will not now, nor ever be revealed, as doing so presents a security risk.



Decisions can be appealed through gameadmin@gatewa.rs
The decision made after considering the appeal is final.

Au contraire.

7 accounts have been banned so far. 3 for scripting, and 4 for trading with them.
There are a further 12 accounts flagged with a 'feasible' scripting tag (multiple pattern violations), and 23 more with 'possible' (single pattern violations).
Data gathering remains ongoing.

No.
Anyone can choose to publicise their ban, as that is their prerogative. Other than the numbers, we do not share the details.

Re: Clarification regarding automation and account sales

Would be epic to see a counter on the log in page like Jason did years ago so peeps can keep an eye on it. Great work, love seeing justice being dealt.
