Bot issues

[Canadane]

There's a huge difference between simply noticing bots and the due diligence it takes to PROVE an account is botting, and that the account being reported isn't a stolen one.

Unfortunately it's just a losing battle. SE would have to delve into questionably legal territory in order to actually monitor our clients to confirm that people are running botting software, and without doing that they're basically guessing when they shut down an account. Meaning, they're taking back $100's worth of digital content, no refund, based on something they believe you're doing but can't PROVE you're doing.

Banning accounts for botting is complicated because it requires TONS of circumstantial evidence, since they can't legally get any real evidence.

SE can absolutely ban you for any basically reason, they don't require you to have some legal US based court with a jury of your peers to prove innocence. Yes you may lose hundreds of dollars of digital items but hey, that's the risk you take for online services like this. If SE decided to shut down 14 for good, don't expect a refund. If you find yourself banned for breaking the ToS don't expect a refund.

It's not that they legally require tons of circumstantial evidence, it's that SE wishes to have tons of evidence before taking action.

I usually take a screenshot while targeting them so I don't forget their name.

It'll echo your targets name, so only you can see it in your chat log. Makes copying and pasting a bit easier.
