Honestly this seems really unfair and I hope they clear it up, because it's even more bad on them when they act like they never saw it and push it under the rug ignoring the people here, and then wonder why people leave the forums out of simply hating the moderation ://

This is kinda crappy tbh. It's kinda like how they're warning people for offering a lot of bells. I realize there was duplication or whatever but I've made a little over 100mil bells from turnips since I time travel. I'm afraid to use them because I don't want to get infractions lol

 

[seliph]

i can definitely see ops point and i don't know enough about their transaction(s) to call their specific situation unfair or not, though i also agree with this post on a similar thread

Nah I'm fine with the rule, even with the reasons you've stated, despite how I too have made a good deal of bells with turnips and lucking out with a friend.

This, in combination with tarantula island and taking advantage of Flick, can lead to a large amount of bells. Not only that but even if we've banned duping and things that look like offering of an exorbitant amount bells was made from duping crowns, those bells are lurking in the shadows of the overall economy of New Horizons. Yes, people could start selling Raymond or Audie for upwards of 10 million bells and you'd regularly have folks buying them for that much. That's what they're saving towards with the methods I mentioned above as well as the duping methods.

However, not everyone plays this game with the luck of having a friend that has amazing turnip prices and patience for you to take trips back and forth. Not everyone knows how to make any island tarantula island or maybe even has arachnophobia or something.

And so they are just accumulating bells naturally and with hard work in other ways and that's not going to make them as rich as many people already are. And yet if we force people to sell villagers like Raymond or Audie for less than three million they'll just sell them on reddit or elsewhere instead of here. And honestly? Yeah, that's fine, for now. However staff needs to gradually allow an increase down the road by the time it's mid May I'd say. But for now I understand why they stand where they do and think it's valid.

I mean I'm aaaalmost on the side of OP here but I think another reason why it's okay for it to take time is because it encourages time spent with villagers people have and I think that would have an interesting way of changing what the tiers will look like when villager trading gets booming again. It'll never be at the level it once was because of cards, but I think there will still be an economy involved with it.

i think the rule should definitely be tweaked over time, however i understand there being a limit to transactions. perhaps said limit just needs heavier outlining to avoid situations like this one.

(also sorry geoni if you got notified unnecessarily lol)

As someone who's gotten warnings and even a suspension over LITERALLY NOTHING before (mods took the liberty of assuming I had a second account because my boyfriend and I both used our accounts off of same IP address) it make me livid just thinking about it too.

I feel like staff should discuss these things with the individual before issuing warning/bans. Understand the context instead of assuming, ya know?

This really shouldn't be a problem when there's people straight up offering 600+ Nook Mile tickets for villagers like Raymond with seemingly no consequences. I've made a ton of legit Nook Mile tickets just playing the game and trading with others. If you trade with the right people you can get a lot of NMTs in return.

The duping glitch has been patched, so unless you're buying tickets from sellers on eBay and other similar sites, most tickets aren't going to be duped anymore unless they've found another duping method that I haven't heard about yet.

I think this is pretty unfair as they have no way to prove your tickets are duped or not, so whoever's sending out the warnings needs to have a sit down.

I'd like to add to this that Raymond sells for 700 to 1200 Nook miles tickets, even with knowing the tickets were hacked if I had the knowledge that the hacker had to sit and search through HUNDREDS of islands to find the ONE villager I would be satisfied. Why arnt interactions like this banned:

As floaty said: even IF the tickets were hacked, someone would still have to search through hundreds of tickets to find one specific villager.
BUT whats so funny is (as someone previously stated) the duping glitch never worked on nook tickets. I don't think there is one single way someone could be in possession of a non-legitimate nook ticket, a fact which compounds the ridiculousness of receiving an infraction for offering them (I don't care in what quantity, its a legitimate item!) for a villager....

Yea I got a warning for bumping in the villager popularity thread (which I know isn't allowed) yet I got my post removed and got a warning however everyone else just got a message from a mod who posted on the thread which is really unfair...

I really feel like the mods and admins need to be wrangled in and retrained on what behaviors are acceptable and have the line drawn so they know when they might go too far. I love the mods and admins on tbt but sometimes I'm just

Agree so much. Then we could avoid having a thread like this full of members venting their frustrations because so many of us seem to have had experiences of being unfairly (or at least unevenly) reprimanded.

One time, I replied “thanks” to somebody and got a post quality infraction because they said my post was too short. Lol

BAHAHAHA

classic.
Also, truly surprised they haven't closed this and reprimanded us all some more just for being critical of the way they moderate. Then again, maybe I should shut up lest I wake up and find my account suspended tomorrow :-o

 

[thedragmeme]

I also feel like I should add: I typically AVOID posting and chatting on the forums because of the ban/strike trigger fingers the mods and admins have. The literal ONLY infraction I have is for mini-modding, which to be honest I wasn't even mini-modding but that's beside the point. It happened in 2016 and I remember VIVIDLY that I wasn't even warned or approached in any way just BAM infraction. I'm still salty about it four years later and it pisses me off these problems have survived for that long. I will forever miss the 20 tbt stolen from my stash because of the infraction.

 

[Jared:3]

Watch us all get infractions right now for speaking the truth

 

[Stil]

I also got reprimanded for telling somebody that that there is a 4 hour rule to bumping posts. They called it “mini modding”. Then I got an infraction.

 

[myow]

lets all rise up and overthrow the tbt staff...


just kidding don't ban me

 

[thedragmeme]

I would like to think I know what I'm talking about in this instance. I'm well on my way to being a resident hall assistant for my college, that requires an understanding of basically how to be an admin for 40 people that like to argue over their roommate's stupid tacky posters eVeRy DaY

 

[Jared:3]

What really bothers me is that they probably are going to avoid this post and not even respond...
