amend self interaction rule to account for bumping accounts

recently we have had a influx of scripts where users can bump their own sythe accounts. Seeing as alot of these script are not compatible with 2fa players will usually just opt to create a separate account to bump their threads.

now theoretically this breaks the no account interaction rule as they are posting on the same thread but moderators use common sense in this situation and no punishments are given.


my suggestion is just to amend the rule so it stated that this is the case.

Interacting on Two or More Accounts/Sharing Accounts: you are strongly advised not to create more than one account at Sythe.org, but, if you do, ensure that the accounts do not interact. (except in the case where you have a separate account attached with a script that bumps your threads) Sharing accounts is not allowed.


Imo this just makes everything more streamlined and will avoid questions in the future

 

Would you rather have users turn their 2fa off to utilize the script on their main account?

What would you consider self interaction?

 

As long as that account is solely used to bump their threads, and follows the 8 hour rule, I do not see that as self interaction at all. As long as there are no objections, I'll get a global to edit it in

 

Well I have seen in other cases where if people bumped or interacted with threads from one account to the other it resulted in a 2 week ban for example if i went on keldeo and posted on a bleuskittle thread.


its common sense and already kind of a thing, i think it would just be better if it was clarified

 

Support, just makes sense, really. I saw the bump script, but I'm not turning off 2fa to use it.

 

Makes sense to me, support!

 

Interacting on Two or More Accounts/Sharing Accounts: you are strongly advised not to create more than one account at Sythe.org, but, if you do, ensure that the accounts do not interact. Using a secondary account that is used SOLELY to bump threads while complying to the 8 hour bump rule is allowed. Sharing accounts is not allowed.

Thoughts?

 

Perfect. I didn't see the "no sharing accounts" rule anywhere, glad that's in there now as well.

 

it was in the current rule^


sound good dunworru

 

How do you prove self interaction if the accounts aren't on the same IP? This is what I meant. You could easily have someone else running the account on a vpn, or even yourself.

 

In regards to a bump bot, that's not really an issue should it conform to the bumping rule and only bump. In other measures... it's really hard to prove it without solid evidence.

 

It's been discussed a while ago and it was ruled as being acceptable, I was talking about how do you go about proving self interaction when it can easily be circumvented in various ways. You could amend a new ruling for it, but it virtually does nothing to affect how it's currently being handled.

 

Ghast I may be interpreting your comments wrong, but i'm under the impression your talking about people bypassing the self interaction system by use of VPN ect to self interact, which has nothing to do with this suggestion.

 

This suggestion seems like it's focusing just on bump bots, and amending the rules for formality.

 

The suggestion confused me because Richard approved of this a long time ago. There was also a discussion about it in SL months back.

 

clarity is good. this is good:

run it past dave or nano or someone

 

Requested an admin to look at the proposed rule by Dunworry.

 

Seems like this is a no brainer honestly... But yeah I'm alright with the modification. On mobile currently but if any staff member isn't too busy and sees this, go ahead and make the edit.

 

Tried doing it myself but the edit button simply won't work for me. Whoever does it should probably remove the easter egg too.

 

Removed the Easter egg. If no one is able to do the rule mod, I'll do it tonight when I'm home.
