Planetarion Forums - Criterias for removing "rotten" planets (open question)

Dworak · 27 Jun 2003, 23:41

I would like to know the criterias for the PA-Team/Multihunters to actually take actions against reported planets.

This round I have reported several planets for "multiing/escorting".

Usually with the following evidence:
- screenshot of newsscan (several planets launching with about 2 mins intervals)
- screenshot/saved milscan of attackers (1 planet with pods, the rest with 0 or 1 pod)

They have been reported via the usuall mail ([email protected]), and some even directly to some PA-team member on IRC.

I dont think anyone I have reported has been dealt with. (that includes reporting a whole BG for accountsharing in round 8.. with a list of their logininfo as evidence). And I have played awhile....

So I want to know the criterias before I bother to report anyone else.

I've reported 3 cases this round. 2 have been closed. One wasn't even big. So they do investigate some cases, and not just all the big planets. However, the big planets get most of their attention, which I'd expect.

Fair enough that the big planets get the attention. Still...Maybe get some more poepl on the job?? I reported like 15 planets this round, mainly because of my own suspicion, cause some weird excorts were following current #1 player and the planets didnt even have pods.

LDK are supposed to be lots of great players, I wonder where the 0.9 planets come into their system :/ and the caths with only FI. I dont think I found one big LDK which are cath...

Ah well, not gonna accuse any1 for anything...Just want the mulityhunters to do their work, and to do it properly(not saying they aint)

its easier to suspect someone of cheating than to know it 100% and be able to close their planet on it

well that can just be a BG attacking someone i know my ally does that. Also with the planets with 1 pod or no pod and then planets with pods i know my BG will do that. Help someone on their attack and not send pods so that only the person who claimed the target gets pods.

It takes time for all the e-mails to be comfirmed. And i doubt the multihunters tell you the criteria for the sole fact if everyone knew every method they used they would find ways around them. And let me quote newys who quoted someone else

Yes that invervall thing means jack all.... I could swear I've taken part in attacks that have been launched within 15-60seconds to every target. Nothing strange there.

Hostile · 28 Jun 2003, 09:46

I reported some people yesterday and was given great help in #support by The_Fish and Dragon. They get a hell of a lot of e-mails daily and it takes time to check them all.

There are many criteria other than IP that are looked at when investigating planets.

None of which i am going to go into details about. ;o)

What we look for when investigating / closing planets will remain secret until we die. Knowing what we look for would make it easier to evade capture.

Sorry i cant say more but ya know how it is ;o)

Well, the deletion script has to be run manually and to my knowledge deletes only those accounts with no user activity in the last 7 days. Also, the problem with some closed accounts is they have round 10 credits which need transfering before deletion. Last time it was run would have been about 10 days ago.

sigrid · 29 Jun 2003, 15:55

I reported some, recently. I dont really have the feeling they do much about it. Thing is, ppl start to not bother anymore after not seeing results. My galmate, multy and admitted it, is still there, and will prolly be there long enuff to have me attacked with 10001 small planets etc. Its costing ppl if they report somebody (i am mebbe to honest, i tell them i reported them...)

I know that, hence why i was shouting for something to happen when Dragonlord had noticed this thread, apparently it wr0ked as you can see

And today, after personal contact with a team-member, my GC got a farm+his farmer, closed instantly.

So they do some stuff atleast.
