As we all know, people are getting banned left and right due to "profitting from botted gold", recieving the botted gold in trades and such.. Our own dear Raven was a victim of this (and we send her our love and sympathy).

Now, I have to admit... I'm more than a bit worried about this, especially with the shop and the upcoming flatsale. I don't want my account to be banned because I happened to recieve botted gold from someone for one of the hybrids. It's especially more worrysome, as we can't tell is it's botted or not.

Am I over-reacting or being paranoid? I just.. honestly am not sure what do to..

Should I limit the flatsale to people who have only shown interest in the shop and/or joined the guild?

Suggestions/comments are much appreciated.

Love,
NykolMisu

I think that people who know about the shop, the people in it, and the hybrids should be able to participate. No, you're not beign paranoid, its good to worry about this. Its scary and a lot of people, like raven, didn't know that she had gotten botted gold. I fear for that too and I wish people would take the fact that this site is a fun place for people to meet others, roleplay and have fun.

But it seems that people would like to cheat here and make everyone else pay for it... I'm not saying that people outside of the shop shouldn't be able to take part in the flatsale is just, I think for security reasons for Nykol that ones that know a bit more about the shop should be able to participate in it.

I have no idea whether or not brokenraven ((bless her heart)) took a donation of botted gold, or accepted a trade that was payment for a pet in a shop she participates as a colorist in...

You can limit the flatsale to people you know/are in the shop... but if you do that no new people are going to be able to participate in this shop. I agree that you should be a bit worried... I don't want meh Nykol to be banned... she's meh sweetheart... ;x3

If you have the thread, it'd be fine. Mine was a random donation, so I couldn't prove anything. If you show that you had contact with the person, it's fine.

I thought so... o_o; Because if you send a donation of botted gold then it seems like you are just transferring the gold from one account to another. ;x3 Thankies for clearing that up Raven ~ <3
