    I was going to make a thread like this. Disallowing "Payaways"? Thank you! Praise the Cosmic Cow! That'll cut the holla clutter by half, I'd reckon.

    Indeed, such a good change. :)
    Eager to see the effects.
  • I don't think everyone would know this rule, will this new policy be added to the system notification? (The note notification above how many hollas you have)

    Sadly not, it's still scamming, and even with rules, people break em. Mods don't know everything that goes on, and not all payaways will be held from hollas now.

    I will more than eagerly work with you!

    I do not know how to share screenshots with you for the purposes of reporting, but other than that, I will do my absolute best to document all known cases of violation!

    Question: Does this rule prevent building contests as well? Even if the entree fee is refundable?

    Guess this policy could go great, but could also go bad. Hopefully good!

    Question: Does this rule prevent building contests as well? Even if the entree fee is refundable?

    As long as the fee is based only on the rent block then yes, I am sure that will be fine.

    Could still be a scam tho "Example: Building Contest 500c." Everyone buys, everyone banned, everyone scammed.

    True, but the policy isn't "No more scams" that has always been a policy. I could be wrong on this but I only assume it's ok as it's a rent block which is what they are designed for. Of course if you use the rent block to scam then that is a different matter entirely.

    Ok ty for the info ^^ I am in the process of making a clan that will be very frequently hosting building competitions and I didn't want that to be an issue ;-;
  • I am overly ecstatic for this change, I am tired of the kid gloves! Payaways have always existed but they did not become mainstream until I would say October 2015, then they began to spreading like an ever evolving virus. It is true that when you stomp out one form of scamming another takes light. BUT IT IS OUR SWORN DUTY TO DEFEAT ALL FORMS OF SCAMMING, NIGHT AND DAY BATTLING AGAINST THOSE WHO TRY TO DECEIVE AND TAKE FROM OTHERS BY UNLAWFUL MEANS! When a form of scamming gets to large, it comes time TO LOP OFF THE HEAD OF THE PUS FILLED BEAST! Yes there are those who were honest and made a living from this but sadly for the greater good some must suffer. In an ideal world it would be where people use their common sense and such things would not be fed but sadly common sense IS WELL NOT SO COMMON! >:O!

    I GREY CORAL KING AM REBORN! I am happy that more power will be given to mods instead of them having to twiddle their thumbs and shrug because it is not against the rules. RAMIFICATIONS OR NO WE WILL SMASH IN THE DOORS OF THOSE WHO TRY TO DO PAYAWAYS AND REMOVE THEM BY FORCE STRIPPING THEM TO THEIR UNDERWEAR AND THROWING THEM INTO A BATH OF ICE WATER! >_< Grey wants a more honest community where you do not use odds stack against another to profit off them. I want a world where we have GIVEAWAYS AGAIN, FREE GAMES! LET HINTER BE AN EXAMPLE TO US ALL! LET US BEGIN THE PAYAWAY WAR >:O!

    So this new rules will be a part of?:

    Cubic Castles Terms of Service

    Scammers Thieves & Bullies

    Please play nice. It's inevitable in any on-line game that people will try to scam other players, or harass or bully other players. Again, we'd rather not have to play virtual police, but we will if forced to. Treat other players the way you'd like to be treated. Players who repeatedly steal from or bully other players would be considered as violating the player guidelines and could face temporary or permanent bans from the game.

    Example:

    What if somebody is doing a "fair" payaway and that player can proof it. And still they will be punished for it. Because we don't allow those activities.

    What if parents get involved into it. And they check Cubic Castles Terms of Service? I don't see anything about the new rules.

    So my question is. Developers change something to in the Term of Services?

  • SOMEONE PLAY HEAVENLY MUSIC
    FINALLY......ADIOS PAYWAYS-PAID BOMB GAMES-PAY TO WIN-uhhh...that's all i know however no more payways

    Do you guys seriously think that they will ALL be gone? Some might, but no where near all of them will go. It will just be much more difficult to change.
