Why are the current Mafia IRC games disabled?

I don't want IRC Mafia available to play 24/7 as I feel it will get old fast. It's more enjoyable in limited quantities in my opinion. Previously, I turned the bot offline for this, but now the bot can remain online for checking rankings and other things.

(games are enabled right now)
 
There are some rules that I don't understand.

-Why no duping?
-Why can't we sell unreleased items?

If people want to do these things to help themselves and others, I don't see why it should be a problem.

Also, why can't we delete comments or threads?

Duping is cheating. We don't approve of it on our site, regardless of the intention.

As far as I'm aware we are no longer prohibiting unreleased items. The announcement was taken down but I guess nobody caught the drift?

The last part of the rule thread in re-tail says no selling duped/hacked or items that are not out yet

What You Can Sell
You can sell whatever you'd like here as long as it's for Bells are it's an item that can currently be gotten in the game. This is a list of items not yet released officially--selling those items is not allowed. Similarly, do not look for anything involving duping/hacking as neither is allowed.
This is in the rules

They have been released otherwise nobody would have them. =p

The rules will be updated, just putting it out as to what is going on now.

Wouldn't selling though be selling hacked items though? Like glancing at that list a few of those are out now, but there's like two or three items I'm pretty sure aren't.
 
There are unreleased items that people can get with powersaves.

I think getting items from powersaves is the same thing as duping, IMO.
 
I don't think of duping as cheating. ACNL isn't a game you can really cheat in; it's not competitive or anything. It doesn't harm anyone, only do good.
It kind of turns me off to this site because of some of these rules.

There's other websites to operate on then. :) While it may be alright in your eyes, it's not in others. I'm not a fan of hacks, dupes or cheats, I think it ruins the game honestly.

My first ACNL game glitched to the point that I had to reset everything because of duping. I didn't know the other person was going to dupe and it messed up my game really bad.
And the fun of the game is earning items and bells, and building up a fortune, so using things like powersaves or duping is, in essence, cheating. People work hard for their bells, and if you are selling an item you didn't do any work for, it's like ripping them off if they don't know.

Bottom line is, it's not allowed here. I have a power saves myself, but I wouldn't use it to rip other people off or disrespect the rules. If duping is how you play the game, you risk your own game, but don't risk other peoples' games.

Guys this is Ask the Staff thread, it isn't exactly the perfect place to talk about duping.
