Ban rules

    Contents [Hide]

    Soo for andavari300 that closed the last thread. Since u follow the rules that properly and close threads, maybe u should learn the rules first ? we are doing a constructive criticism of u not flame or judging decisions made by other GOs. We are just all saying u GOs need to learn the rules first then follow them and act on them :D We are simply the players u guys are the judges and the jury :D But still do bans according to the rules not if someone reports a push and u just ban and thats it ... Inspect and then make ur judgments about bans. This are the rules for players . Thank you and out :D


    1. Accounts

    The owner of a game account is the owner of the Lobby account where the game account is located.

    Each account is entitled to be played by a single player at any time, account sitting being the only exception.

    Game account exchanges to another user are only permitted using the ‘Account Gifting’ function within a Lobby account.

    Lobby accounts cannot be transferred to others.

    2. Multi Account

    Every player is allowed to control a single account per universe.

    If two or more accounts are usually, occasionally, or permanently being played from the same network (e.g. schools, universities, internet cafés) it is highly recommended to notify a GameOperator in advance at http://support.en.ogame.gameforge.com.


    3. Account Sitting

    ‘Account Sitting’ enables a player to allow another player to ‘sit’ their account, i.e. caretake it in their stead.

    An account may be sat for a maximum of 48 hours.

    Account sitting is only permitted using ‘Sitting Codes’, which are available in the Lobby. While the account is being sat, it cannot carry out battle activities with other players.

    Lobby details cannot be passed on to other players. Any infringement on these rules may lead to a permanent ban for the Lobby account for account sharing.

    4. Bashing

    You are not allowed to attack any given planet or moon owned by an active player more than 6 times in a 24-hour period. This rule also applies to moon destruction missions. Probe attacks and interplanetary missile attacks do not fall under the bashing rule. Exceptions are universes where active looting with probes is possible.

    Bashing is only allowed when your alliance is at war with another alliance. The war must be announced in the relevant OGame forum and must comply with the forum-specific rules.

    A bashing investigation will only proceed if a player is reported.

    5. Pushing

    No account is allowed to obtain unfair profit from the resources of a lower ranked player. Pushing is defined as, but not only limited to, the following: resources sent from a lower-ranked account to a higher-ranked one with nothing tangible in return.

    Setting up a battle to enable a higher-ranked account to obtain profit from a lower-ranked account or manipulating trade ratios for a higher-ranked account to gain an advantage through a lower ranked account are considered an unfair profit.

    Trades, recycling help & ACS splits must be completed within 72 hours.

    For all exceptions (bounties, etc.) a Game Operator should be informed via the Support system (https://ogame.support.gameforge.com/index.php?fld=en).

    6. Bugusing / Scripting

    Using a bug for anyone`s profit intentionally or not reporting a bug intentionally is strictly forbidden. Using a programme as an interface between the player and the game is prohibited. Any other form of automatically generated information created for malicious misuse is forbidden as well. Exceptions are listed in the forum of the game.



    Here we have a few extra rules that you MUST know before posting, as this will be a zero tolerance section. Breaking the rules will not be taken lightly. Remember this is a place for constructive criticism, not to just flame decisions made by others/aspects of the game.


    Normal board rules still apply here, so there is to be no flaming, insulting, spamming or trolling staff, Gameforge or other users. This area is for mature feedback and criticism only. There are to be no complaints aimed at specific staff members for conduct ingame, on the boards or on IRC. If you wish to make these, please contact that staff members’ superior to complain.

    Rules are Clear. But in the game; we could miss any trade (MoonShot turn with ress, fail in ratios ,etc) could be warned by go . İ saw it in different regions. Go warned me for nick name and at the other time against push issue like ; you have to complete trade you made at xx.xx.xxxx . You know you Want from players with no banned account in go and sgo applies. And this issues with no gived chance to explain , takes players under insulting by others. And takes far from game . We are playing and paying on this game. And you should be more carefull when you judge us. You should keep players rights carefully against unfair insults.

    Based on the rules stated above, it is only against the rules if a higher player receives UNFAIR profit from a lower ranked player. Having to write a ticket in which you explain to a GO how a profit/cost split is fairly calculated is not in the standard rule book. Therefore, issues like these should not be ban-able without asking about it first.


    I agree with what Jah stated earlier, ignorance about the rules should not be an excuse, but these so-called rules should be more find-able/explained if it is being enforced.


    My comment is not meant to insult any game operator. Please consider this as customer-feedback.

    It's not GO's fault, the rules are all but clear in my opinion, especially since the last update.


    Like GOs didn't have issues detecting pushers before, GF adds this update without thinking of any rules to prevent pushing so basically any strong player can receive unfair amount of profit completely legally and the best part is (if we consider marketplace sales pushing) they can simply recycle the profit over and over and over and no one can do anything about it.

    The pathetic part about this is there isn't really profit for GF in this setting, it's just that someone was too lazy and GF played along instead of fixing it. Think of it as a fire hydrant blowing up in your street and instead of being fixed, the authorities make an improvised fountain. :D


    In fact, based on the multi account rules determined a few years ago, as long as you're not making fleet contact, you can make 5 accounts and buy ships off them all the time at dirt cheap prices, then use the resources and the little production these accounts have to make more ships to push yourself even further and no one cares.

    We've had one of these in Fenrir and no matter how many times we reported it, there's no amount of evidence to provide that's going to make the officials ban such behavior and trust me, we've provided a lot of it.


    But this is just 2020! Don't forget the part where even the GOs couldn't find common opinion on what fleet composition allows a player to be eligible for the profit cut, so yeah, one probe isn't considered to be enough, however one light figter makes you eligible for part of the profit cut.

    1. We are not your personal secretaries. It is the player's responsibility to ensure all trades are completed within the allotted time frame found within the rules. Also, the rules being posted in-game and on the forums serve as your warning.

    2. We are careful but also human.

    3. We do not ban anybody based on the complaints we receive but instead conduct an investigation and document the results of the investigation with the underlying data.

    4. Just because a ban was overturned does not necessarily mean you were not in the wrong and immediately vindicated as we can put conditions on the ban removal.

    5. The administrative sanctions are standardized which means everybody gets the same administrative sanction for the same level of offense. The first administrative sanction for pushing is a ban. See number 1 if you want to know why you don't get a warning.

    I like how this guy says I didn’t follow the rules but clearly did hence the thread closure.


    It’s also funny when I get told I’m being a big meanie for in-game stuff when I only MODERATE THE BOARD. My name is in green and underneath shows what I do. Did someone add Game Operator to it?

    Know what you’re talking about before you mention me and what I truthfully do.


    Have a nice day:biggrin:


    Oh goodie, another staff bashing thread... It's as much a tactic as fleet saving: " I'm cheating, I got caught, so I'm going to scream, yell, and blame staff."


    Quote from Grandpa Silverwind

    " He may not be an arsonist at first appearance...he sure screams his innocence loudly enough....but it sure is funny how he smell strongly of petrol and smoke."


    Anyway, if you have any issues with your specific ban, open your ticket and you'll be processed in the order you were received. If you feel your GO or SGO isn't doing something correctly, escalate the ticket.
