I copied this reply from a thread where the admins where being questioned by the player base as to why they acted the way they did in dealing with alleged cheaters...thought it was worth posting here as a general guideline for all to see - ShadowMasterCM
Quote:
Actually those people are not deleted because deletions are permanent while fines can be reversed if we are proven to have made a mistake. Often the cheaters we punish are convicted on judgement calls on our part. If I delete someone who should not have been (which has tragically happened) I can not reverse it, however a multi-million (or billion) dollar fine can effectively destroy an empire, yet still be reversed if it turns out I was in the wrong. Those cheaters we are 'protecting' are not disclosed for the same reasons. I do not like to make public something that may not be true.
Another reason that we do not delete people is that most 'cheating' is simply done through an abuse of a coded game system. People who purposefully pass information to web pages or devise various hacks are treated much, much more harshly.

A player was banned and had all their empires deleted for repeatedly cheating. They were given clear instructions to e-mail me before I deleted them, but they persisted in their cheating from another location instead. There will soon be clearly printed rules about what is cheating and what is not, but I will outline the generally known and accepted rules here and on the admin page for the time being.
If you control more than 1 empire, these empires MAY NOT interact with each other in any financial manner. They may not buy or sell goods to one another, nor may they transfer money to one another. The exception to this is outposts.
Outposts are extensions of an empire clearly marked by name. For example, the parent empire Star League has 2 outposts, Star League Outpost I and Star League Mercenaries. Star League MAY transfer money (and only money) to these other outpost but the outposts MAY NOT transfer money to the parent empire. This is to prevent people from creating 100 empires called outposts and transferring money to the parent empire as a way of getting free money. This includes 3rd party money transfers!! You may NOT transfer money from an outpost to someone else's empire and then to your main empire!!
Outposts MAY have alliances with each other but MAY NOT buy or sell vehicles/parts/weapons from each other.
You MAY attack an empire you own with another empire you control in landwar, but you MAY NOT attack one of your own arenas.
Any method of achieving these goals by circumventing the obvious is still considered cheating. YOU MAY BE DELETED OR BANNED WITHOUT WARNING IF YOU BREAK THESE RULES!! I do not like enforcing rules, but cheaters ruin the game for others. I have little tolerance for cheaters as they repeatedly consume hours of my day hunting them instead of developing the game. PLEASE DO NOT CHEAT! The game is challenging and difficult, so when you succeed the rewards will taste that much sweeter.
This will be posted on the Admin page for future viewing.
Thank you
If you suspect an empire of cheating, or are unsure if something you want to do is cheating, please e-mail info@neveron.com
(Note: That email is no longer valid - ShadowMasterCM)
Thank you to all our hard working and honest players who strive to have fun and build their empires by earning it.
