Temporary Guidance for Accounts

Post by skiehawk11 »

All,

TSPCenter has been dealing with a number of accounts that have decided to create a bit of havoc. As a result, Aitrus and I will be taking a hardline stance on accounts. If you have a legitimate account that has been banned, please notify Aitrus or I. However, every account banned was identified to have helped (accidentally or otherwise) the troll accounts abuse the reputation points system.

Until King comes up with a permanent solution, the moderators will instant ban linked accounts that meet the internal criteria which have identified how the troll accounts operate.

Moving forward I would suggest restraint on providing new accounts with reputation points as most created are troll accounts.

I'm not sure what I might have done to assist trolls, but I assure you it was completely accidental. Would you be able to email me and let me know what it is so that I can prevent any further issues?

Same here, I’ve PMd Skie and e-mailed Atris earlier. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help. This is just so frustrating.

I will not discuss what information moderators used or what information is available since that may give the trolls ammo to use.

What I can do is take a look at your account in question and review the information again. If you don't hear from me that means your account will remain banned.

That makes sense. Hopefully we can get this squared away because I really have enjoyed my short time here and look forward to being a positive part of this community. Thanks for taking another look.

Also, if you decide to keep me banned, please cancel my subscription because I can't log in to cancel it.

Agreed, thanks for taking a look. Will hate to have to restart but am down with that if we need to do so.

As we go through this process, we are trying to address the negative rep given to individual members. We've fixed everybody that we know about at this time, but there may be a few members who we don't know received large amounts of negative rep.

If you have been on the receiving end of these instances of frivolous negative rep, please contact us via PM and we'll address the situation.

Side note: the admin email doesn't work so well, so it's best to PM skiehawk11 and/or myself if you have an issue, it's the best way to reach us.

It would be nice to have the admin email fixed so I wouldn't have to create another account and use my friend's computer to figure out why my IP address and accounts are banned. I now understand about having more than one account. I'm guilty, but was never part of the hackers. I got some negative points, too. Just wanted to compare using a mixture of funds.

I will be getting to the reviews, but in full disclosure, I am back with my family for the holidays. I'll more than likely review accounts starting Saturday.
