  • No

Results are only viewable after voting.
My friend shared a screenshot of his alt account got banned. It was so weird that the message that was showing on expelled notice screen was this “Account permanently banned due to ToS abuse - no appeals will be considered. RBI”

Can someone explain me please what is that RBI thing at the end of the notification?

Dunno what does that mean but maybe i know why ATA need to ban ALTs... because their system is flooded with junk just like you used an alt to ask in forum... waste of space...

🙂 ATA should buy some new servers instead of deleting alts.

I need a MOD/DEV to explain this. Are they trying to impersonate RBI (Reserve Bank of India) Or they mean something else ???

🙂ATA should implement a warning system before banning alternative accounts, similar to what other community-based platforms do. The current management seems to lack effective strategies for addressing the issue of alt flooding. To resolve this, ATA should first focus on restructuring their management team with more competent individuals and then take decisive action to eliminate alt accounts.👉🏻👈🏻

I’m not expecting ATA to reinstate my friend’s account. What I’m curious about is the mention of "RBI" at the end of the expulsion notice. Does it refer to the Reserve Bank of India, or is it something else? If it is indeed the Reserve Bank of India (India’s central bank), how is it connected to PIMD? What role does the RBI play in addressing the issue of alternative accounts?

Did you try sending a help ticket to directly ask a dev what this means? I'd certainly do that if you haven't already.

Their lack of critical thinking here says they definitely didnt send a help ticket
 
I'd like to see the screenshot and will join calls for restructuring but not for the purpose of giving bot owners more warning, but for successfully stamping them out.

If they gave warnings to all the accounts they hoped to ban, all the item wealth would be muled, immediately.

Update (sorry for the wall of text):
"Hello,

We've investigated the account further and we've deemed the ban to be valid.

"Account permanently banned due to being a bot or benefiting from being in a bot club - no appeals will be considered."

No further appeals will be considered and any other inquiries about the appeal of the ban will be marked as spam and ignored."

This is false.

The account(s) in question are a handful of alts, of which were manually unlocking parties for my own club, for solos and future use. All actions, logging in, logging out, starting parties, hitting parties were completed manually by me. Each alt hit less than 20 parties in the last 2-3 months, and all are below 50kcs, none of them are achieving POTDs and farming misc.

They were likely flagged by an algorithm because they are all named similarly, and similar in size.

However, there was never in no way shape nor form any botting or automation of any kind. If I were to do something like that, would I really name each of them after my main with "Goose" in each IGN? Furthermore, would I risk giving them full dorms to equip?

Honestly, the most frustrating part of all of this is the support, or the lack of from ATA.
As they said they would, they have ignored any future attempts to discuss the matter, I'm sure if a human actually looked at the accounts they would see there was clearly no botting involved, and no breach of ToS.

At this point, and the lack of respect the ATA are showing to their customers, I'm embarrassed to have financially supporting this development team. It's less about the full dorm I've lost, and the club, but the total lack support given, and raises concerns for any future support given to a product I am choosing to invest in.

This interaction is leaving me considering going totally free to play, or, quitting the game entirely.

This tbh ^ same goes with my friend. That was one of her old accounts and it's just staying on our potd club. What's sad is it's the account that keeps her bentos in since we have a habit not to save bentos on main, it has 40🍱 when it got banned last bf hunt. Frustrating as it's already an 8mcs account not a kcs, with a fancy ign that goes and connected to our potd club name, not just Blah142637. They give you just the same reason for all who complained and just accuse you. We have lowkey alts that never deal with any sheets, disputes, etc.. we make alts with real emails and we use them because "alts get lucky on boxes" it even has old misc/furnis from wayback 2016-18 she never transfer unless it's a pretty 499/999 from box. It was not a bought account as well. That's really very upsetting in our many years of spending time here. So much unfair to those "bot alt" still running around, scammers, toxic farmers, etc which probably deserves the ban.

What an unusual habit.

So an alt you use for abusing a perceived RNG advantage for newer players, to get items...
and hiding your items (for why?).

Hardly sounds like a legitimate alt account.
No grand loss. R.I.P bentos, though.

The differentiation between an alt and a bot is not clearly outlined in the PIMD Terms of Service. It’s essential for the management to first establish a clear and transparent distinction between these two types of accounts. Once defined, they can then develop appropriate policies for each.

PIMD is a community-driven platform where players create alternate accounts (alts) for various reasons—some for fun, others to grow faster, or to support fellow players. It's crucial for the management to recognize that many players join PIMD as a form of escape, often because they are introverted in real life.

Treating them unfairly or without understanding could alienate the very community that keeps the platform thriving. Management should consider the diverse motivations of players and foster a more inclusive and empathetic approach. After all, where will these players go if the platform no longer feels like a safe and enjoyable space for them?
