    Likely they removed the ability for people with Promotion privileges to promote other players above their own rank, about the only thing I can think of them doing.

    Just tested this, and the ability to promote above your rank is still there.

    As for now, the only advice we can give, is to not give promotion permissions to any rank except the people that you know won't betray you. Which, even that, nowdays, is hard to predict. x.x

    If they didn’t fix that, then what did they fix? O.o I can’t think of anything else that would be used to commit FC fraud other than promoting above your given rank...

    Could be a system that triggers when someones uses that ranking privilege to rank themself up and then that character is flagged and if stolen goods are reported, they could be sanctioned more easily? Just a wild guess..

    This is what I thought as well, some back-end/database work to make it easier for themselves to track and action offenders.

    More than likely the details will never be revealed because that means dishonest folk would immediately start finding workarounds. My guess is more detailed account tracking for FC activities.

    My gil's on the issue of players with rooms in FC house being unable to leave the FC until their room is demolished, and FC members revoking their access to the FC house, preventing them from demolishing. Problem has come up a few times this month, might be some less than reputables have caught wind and are trying to use it as extortion.

    Player can't leave FC until room is demolished. Player cannot access house to demolish room. FC leader demands gil (or other) for access to FC house to demolish room so they can leave.

    Supposedly there was also something going on where people were duplicating items using the company chest during the DDoS attacks.
