- A lot of people have suggested that multi's are refused logon so that they deadbeat after 3 turns or are auto deadbeated so that they cannot continue in games.
I have been told previously that this is not possible as there is the right of appeal.
Allowing the guilty to continue to protect the rights of a very small minority seems like using a sldgehammer to crack a nut!!
Why not PM those who are found guilty of an offence PRIOR to implimenting the bust. Along the following lines.
Dear user
You have been found guilty of 'multiple accounts/secret alliance' with users xxxxx and yyyyyy.
The following actions will be taken if: 1/ You do not respond. 2/ Your appeal is rejected.
Account xxxxxx will lose premium and will have a score reset.
Account yyyyyyy will be blocked permanently.
Account zzzzzzz will be blocked from playing with account xxxxxxx with both account having a score reset.
If you wish to appeal against this decision, please submit your appeal, via e-ticket within two days of this PM detailing the basis of your appeal.
If this method were implimented then the accounts could be auto deadbeated once the process was completed. I should imagine that very few would appeal or even respond. The appeals should be processed as quickly as possible.
The multi accounts can then be deadbeated with immediate effect once this process has been followed.
In terms of those found guilty of secret alliances then all players found guilty should be blocked from moving in the singles games they are playing together. A new tool will be needed that can manually deadbeat players within individual games.
Specifics:
- PM accused who are found guilty of cheating prior to implimenting the punishment
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
- Fairer handling of those who do have a valid excuse.
- Fairer to members caught up in games with cheats as immediate deadbeat of those games can be implimented.
