[Rejected] Tighten Server promotion rules in the Metin 2 section

[zerogott]

Hey,
in the last few years the Metin 2 pserver section is getting flooded with scam servers almost monthly from the same People.
These people use fresh created accs, buy premium and egold trader to look more trusted.
They use the same presentations, homepages and server files over and over again (sometimes they even forget to change the sourcecode of the homepage or the presentation), they even get the same promoters almost everytime depending on the region of the server.


I suggest to tighten the rules in the Metin 2 Section to prevent this.
Currently these uses just create new EPVP Accounts and get away with this.

Most recent example:


This server is from another User.
Old server of this User with a different epvp Acc:

He just created a new epvp acc and is still using the same Discord Acc.
will still using the old Discord Acc and that should be clearly proof enough already. It can't be that this rule is bypassed this easily and in such an obv way.
There was another Server in December last year that got reported by multiple people with proof and the thread was neither closed nor was the Account banned until that person closed the Server a few weeks later and scammed people, other plattforms actually took that warning serious and banned the User and removed the thread.

I suggest that freshly created accounts can't create promotion threads until some other way is found to reduce this.
I also suggest to undo this rule change and even tighten it to either 9 or 12 months.

Zitat von PServer Advertising Regeln
14. Jeder Server sollte eine Mindestlaufzeit von 3 Monaten anstreben.
15. Falls keine Uptime von 3 Monaten erreicht wurde, wird von uns automatisch ein Veröffentlichungsverbot, von weiteren Servern für 3 Monate gegenüber den Serverbetreibern verhängt. Das Release-Datum zählt hierbei als Start-Datum der Strafe.
16. Nach einer Laufzeit von 3 Monaten, ist es jedem Serverbetreiber erlaubt einen weiteren Server zu veröffentlichen, insofern der bereits bestehende Server erhalten bleibt. Diese Regelung erstreckt sich auf jeden weiteren Server. Bei einem dritten Server, müssen beispielsweise die zwei zuvor erstellten Server weiterhin betrieben werden. Server-Netzwerke sind also grundsätzlich erlaubt.

Running a Server for 3 months is literally nothing nowadays when a Server basically costs nothing compared to the income from some IS and these people use premade Serverfiles and Homepages over and over again.

The user in question is already investigated, and we only ban on clear evidence.

I suggest that freshly created accounts can't create promotion threads until some other way is found to reduce this.

This was already suggested in the past and has been declined as it would drastically reduce new servers. Ultimately we decided to in the Metin2 PServer forum, as requested by the community and it worked very well for the last 4 years.

I also suggest to undo this rule change and even tighten it to either 9 or 12 months.

we reduced the penalty time from 6 to 3 months to allow season servers, this was mainly because of community feedback.

There might be some users who abuse the system, but the current ruleset works way better as the old one.
