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? 🙂 ATA should buy some new servers instead of deleting alts.
I 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.
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.
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.
Not a help ticket but an email and i have texted them on x.com, i got an automated reply from email about contacting them through in game chat.
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? 🙂👉🏻👈🏻
There is an option... try eehh option about new gameplay or something and choose the option to talk to someone...
