How do admins on here detect fraud in the points systems?

Answer #1

Let’s see:

we’re suffering from a lot of fraud right now
we outline, in detail, our methods to deal with it
spammers and scammers then have a roadmap on how to effectively commit MORE fraud

…I can’t see any possible “good” answer here. Sorry.

Answer #2

Oh, I thought maybe you guys looked at IP addresses and stuff like that.

Answer #3

As I said: it doesn’t matter what we look at…there is nothing I can see as positive coming from us revealing any particular methodology. Sorry :(

Answer #4

Ohh, Sorry, I read that wrong :P

Answer #5

Answer #6

@purroo, this is the prime reason why you should always view a sites Terms of Use and FAQ pages when you create an account. Once you sign up, you are bound to those terms and ignorance of the law is not an excuse.
