Title: Ad credits
Post by: Akere on April 16, 2009, 11:50:28 am

I have asked a few friends to vote for me. To make it faster, i made them forum accounts (1 for each one) using the same e-mail (but we use different PCs with different IPs)

is it legal?

I'm not sure about this one. I would probably change the emails just to be on the safe side.

Well it does seem dishonest. Idk if its Tech. breaking any rules but InMyOpinion it does seem like it.

Probly should have asked b4 you tryed this out. Or even sent in a ticket asking a gm.

Well anyways goodluck, hopefully you wont get in trouble for it I guess   :-\

Please tell your friends to make their own accounts with their own email addresses, as it will look like vote fraud to us if you create all the accounts with similar email addresses.
Btw, it's not possible to create two forum accounts with the same email address.

Also, I would advise you not to access the accounts of your friends if you all plan on voting.

But what to do for new accounts not to be banned? Because that would make 2 accounts per IP

you don't have to make a new account, you can just change the email

also you can have as much accounts as you want, as long as you have only one forum account you use and where you vote in.

If you're referring to ingame accounts, that's right, but it doesn't apply to forum accounts. I thought the rule was pretty clear:

Each user is limited to ONE forum account. If any staff member believes that an individual is using multiple personal forum accounts, for any reason whatsoever, all duplicate forum accounts from that IP will be immediately banned, leaving only the account with the highest post count. Using an additional forum account to break any of AnthemRO's rules will result in ALL accounts using that IP to be immediately treated as though they had broken those same rules. Multiple incidents of having duplicate forum accounts may also result in a full ban. This does not apply to multiple users with the same IP with their own accounts, only to individual players using multiple accounts. This does not apply to in-game accounts in any way, you may have as many game accounts and characters as you choose.

Why would you need several forum accounts anyway, except for bypassing the cooldown?

If you accidentally put in a wrong email address, it's alright, since you are unable to activate the account anyway. Or if you return after several months of inactivity, and forgot your old account information, you can temporarily create a new account to submit a support ticket.

However, it's always safer not to ask friends or anyone else to vote for you and transfer the ad credits to you, since the chance is much higher that you're banned for "accidental" vote fraud (considering that they do not vote because they like the game, but only for the ad credits) <_<
