New from the news area of the box
As you will likely know, we reduced the member limit last week - effectively closing signups. At the rate we are losing members, it's unlikely that signups will open again until 2008.
Invites will still work though even if we are above the open signup limit, which is why some of you with good ratios will have got invites available.
For invites we need to clarify a few things. If you happen to invite a user that is a cheater or behaves badly in the community, nothing will happen to your account on the first offense (unless u invited ur self) since we are willing to accept that it was not your fault and you simply couldnt have known, we will simply put a warning on your account. On the second offense, you are expected to be much more vigilant and as such you will loose all your invite privileges permanently, shall there be a second offense obviously, and in some rare cases your account might be disabled as well (if it is obvious to us that you knew you were inviting a cheater, invite seller and all the rest of them). Shall you choose to sell your invites and get found out, you will lose your account and your ip will be banned even on a first offense.
We will calibrate these rules as it seems fit at any given point in time and let you know from the news section or the announcements (which you should check up every now and then to stay alert with) what is going on.
So, to summarise:
DO NOT SELL OR TRADE INVITES
DO NOT INVITE PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW
IF PEOPLE YOU INVITE REPEATEDLY BREAK THE RULES IT COULD AFFECT YOUR ACCOUNT - BE VIGILANT
And finally please let your friends know that we have strict ratio and uploading rules - and ask them (nicely of course) to make sure they understand these as soon as they join. You are responsible for their ratio!
