So here we are, less than a week old, having grown at an incredibly rapid rate and seemingly having a community that people are thrilled with. I think it fair to say we are all excited with the potential here.
This said we face our first very serious hurdle - premium cheats, hack websites and donut exploits. As we all are aware, this is a freemium game, meaning EA provides the game for free, but has items in the game that players can spend actual currency on. This is how EA makes a profit from this game, and continues the production of the game.
As I am guessing from every person, if you are making a product, and someone comes along to said product and steals from it in such a way that you are not realizing your true profit from that product you might be upset. You might be upset enough to try to get that profit back, no matter who or what it was that took that product, or how it came that they did that. Sorry, was that wordy enough, basically you do not want someone stealing from you, and if they do, and if you are a global company worth billions of dollars (or millions) would you not chase down your profits, especially when they are leaking through side doors you are not aware of. Would you not care who it is?
Hence the dilemma, of an open and free forum, or a forum where we better think about the ramifications of certain acts, like stealing, or posting hacks that will enable stealing or avoiding any form of payment. Because of this we have to insist on an immediate cease and desist of all posts that contain any encouragement, promotion or in any way sharing information that will allow a user benefit in receiving donuts or other EA deemed premium items through any illegal means.
This is reserved solely for glitches (defined as any event that is manipulated to the end user benefit the enables the end user to not render payment to EA for services that would normally require payment)and cheats that result in theft from EA, those related to premium currency. We are not trying to restrict all conversation on glitches, but in protection of this forum we ask nothing be posted that EA could deem as stealing. Please note, all decisions concerning these posts are at the admin and mod's discretion.
Depending upon the severity of the offense this can lead to a warning, a suspension or a complete ban.
We hope you understand this position, frankly nobody here is looking to get in a fight with EA.
