Only 1 multis re-buy per month(or year)

by **blakebowling** on Mon Jun 02, 2008 10:30 pm

Concise description:

To stop the constant problem of multis re-buying premium over and over, multis should only be able to re-buy premium (and unblock their account) once per month(or year).

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

Multis will be reduced in number,(at least after there first bust)
It will stop most(if not all) the complaints about multis re-buying premium.

I like this idea. There is one known multi who has been busted 6 times in like a month. Every time he just rebuys and screws legit members out of more points.

yea i was reading about TheBlackMages when I thought about it

I like this idea.

I do think that limiting multi's back only once per month/year may affect the $$$ that is required to mantain and upkeep this site.

alternatively is that they may re-purchase once per year without penalty of resetting their points, subsequent purchase will reset their points back to the initial value or even lower. Whatever points gain in the games that they win, will just be distributed back to all and the game will be considered void

Lack has stated to give the points back would be to much work, and i dont like the idea of stopping the rebuys since then then they become trolls instead and thats the last thing we need.

I'm not saying stop all re-buys, because some people actually learn. I'm saying only allow a busted multi to re-buy once per month

I know but lets take theblackmages for example, he has payed 100s of $s in the last 2 weeks, and so if he could no longer do that what do u think he would do, just leave the site? No way, he would spam the sight like hell, and so they ban his ip, there are 1000s of proxys out there so there is no way to stop him from coming to the site and making another account to spam with, so why not allow him his small victory, hes never going to become conquerer by doing this (barring spending 10,000s of dollars), so who cares? Its just more money to help the site we all love.

There has been some movement on that front to prevent proxies from being used. See the Han Solo [Busted] thread.

I view that the site as a business should be a significantly higher priority than individual points. Multis don't come too often. Convicted multis should be easier to track down, no? So a regular check up now and then is just more money to the site.

you dont understand, WE ARE LOSING POINTS to theese people, and they do not recieve a score reset
theblackmages was busted THREE TIMES YESTERDAY, THREE TIMES IN ONE DAY.

by **demon7896** on Tue Jun 03, 2008 9:54 pm

thank you. there was (and is) a multi who was getting busted every 24 hours

by **dustn64** on Tue Jun 03, 2008 10:16 pm

I think that it will all come down to: money vs. fairness.

Cut down on the money, and less cheaters, or get more money with more cheaters.

I beat theblackmages more often than not anyways. I do understand. OMG WE ARE LOSING POINTS! POINTS! You're a private, you have less than 1,000, any points lost for you is hardly anything. You are losing like 6 points, go win 2 games and you'll have like +100.

I don't think it has anything to do with what level you are and how few or how many points you lose. Nobody wants to keep losing points to these cheaters that are just being let back into CC repeatedly and busted over and over for the same thing. Being busted three times in ONE day! Come on! Maybe there should be a limit on how many times you can buy back your membership like someone mentioned earlier. I would suggest the first time they are busted they can buy it back immediately with their score reset. The second time they are busted they have to wait a month to buy it back and there is no score reset. The third time they are busted they have to wait six months to buy it back and no score reset. After three times they don't get any more chances? Just a thought but something should definitely be done about it.

Heh. They could just simplify things and let people buy points.

say, 60 bucks per 500 points? or is that too cheap? :twisted:

much too cheap...

I disagree - let CC make their money tbh.

Why do you keep playing them then? You seem to know them.

by **hwhrhett** on Mon Jul 21, 2008 12:30 pm

i like this idea, perhaps everybody should get 2 strikes, and then on their third they fall into the 'known cheater' category, and are only able to rebuy 1 per month after that.

i mean, yeah cheaters are money, but....... if theyre bringing down the amount of enjoyment from the aimed customer its not worth it.
