As long as you're not voting on your phone with more than one forum account, there should be no issue. There is now a forum account timer, so even though, say, you vote on your computer ip address, you won't be able to vote on your phone until the timer runs out, even though you have a different ip. So you can't ad fraud unless you use two forum accounts, which is against the rules... if that makes sense. /heh

I vote on my phone most of the time because I am away from my computer. I would say as long as you aren't  breaking the rule of trying to vote double (ex. From your phone and your computer at the same time) or doing the multiple account thing, you should be fine.

Let me give you some advice when voting from phones: It seems that, contrary to cable or DSL connections, you do not have a unique IP address when accessing the internet from your phone. I've seen it happen several times that two completely different players shared an IP for some time, and when I looked it up, I saw that this was an IP of a mobile phone provider. Just be careful.

Too much hassle anyway. Ive got a great browser on my smartphone, however the sites that open are graphic whores.

Let's just give players ideas on how to bypass voting and get away with it

why did you post this...

Uh, what? I mean, it's obvious that you have a different IP address when you use your mobile phone instead of your PC. All I said is, you can be banned for accidentally sharing a mobile phone IP with an actual vote frauder, so it was more of a warning than anything.

See the post below, Lovi put it into better words than me:

By using the internet on your phone, aren't you using the company's connection which every other person with the same company is using?
I always thought you shouldn't because it seems like you'd be using the same internet connection thingy that someone else on here uses and it could be mixed up as fraud.

A mobile phone company apparently covers a smaller IP range than internet service providers. Well actually, if you live in a country with dynamic IPs, it sometimes happens that you get the IP that another player had the day before or so.

So we can vote using our phones but we have to be careful I guess?

Yeah. And if you suddenly get a cooldown timer, although you didn't vote, you know that another aRO player uses the same mobile phone provider as you. :P

I think one of my account got banned cause of something similar to what Fidelis is talking about. The ads frauder used the same ISP as me. It's been a while since my ticket got replied T_T
