FAQ:

I'm botting, will I get banned?
Eventually. We're humans with a limited amount of time to spend on bot detection, but we'll get around to you. If you stop before then, we might not catch you? Good luck!

I got items from a bot, will I get banned?
Depends. There are a few criteria that we look at. Depending on how nefarious we think you are, we'll either ban you, take your stuff away, or if we think you're innocent, let you slide.

I have evidence that <X user> is botting!
To be transparent, we aren't able to use this info right now. Most reports like this that we get are false accusations. Also, it isn't an efficient use of time for us to look into individuals. This lets us do bans in groups of ~1000 a week instead of 10.

Roar.

The new group that starts trades and then threatens sfw on anyone that won’t pay with PayPal needs to go. Newer players that get into trading to catch up are an asset to the community. But there are people out there abusing new spending players trying to force them to buy bentos with irl cash.

Does the group have a name or are you just speaking in general?

What is considered “botting”?

In this instance, using automated software that hits parties to get drops and items without having to do it manually. Botters can have entire clubs filled with alts, and thus complete stories quickly and earn hundreds of items. These end up sent to main accounts to increase misc or sold to other players for ig or rl currency.
