We have added a new rules that you guys should be aware of.

Quote:
Anyone caught abusing the battle system, or any system that grants silver will receive a temporary ADR ban and warning.
--This also applies to other non-silver granting systems such as the avatar system.


We do not take lightly to those who abuse our site for their own gain, and we will take away your silver and character stats if you are caught. Anyone caught before this rule was implemented will still be subject to it as well.

I'm saddened to see that it had to come to this, but if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
(also ADR ban is a ban from the battle system, as well as all of the features relating to it including your inventory.)

If someone finds a glitch with the avatar system that lets them equip items they don't own(and they abuse it and do not let us know about it, of course), that would be considered abusing the system. Sweat

A small glitched was discovered that let you battle allot more monsters in allot less time, which means you would get allot more silver and bonuses then if you'd have battled normally.

I have a question:

During some events, we could find items randomly by clicking threads. I would click through threads with a bunch of pages like just about everyone else, but can't someone technically tape down the refresh button on a thread and come back later to find tons of those items? Would that be considered abusing the system too?

This is why I always suggest that we have clickable thumbs on pages randomly during event prep, by the way. It would be harder to abuse.

We'll if they are actually sitting there refreshing for item pop ups then yes, I'd say that is very abusive.

I don't know for other browser, but Firefox has a plug-in that can open multiple links in one click (and close them with one click too, so you can jsut open massive amount of thread, then close them all, then reopen them, etc.). I used it on Squiby to level up all my critters at the same time, but I guess it would be possible to get more random drops that way too.

So Yay! for random clickable thumbs ^^
