Interview with New Mod Y

We've made a new mod-friend.  "Y" will be helping us answer some fan questions along with help from our old friend X. 

But today, we're going to welcome Y to our family and ask them some questions. 

You obviously love your job as a moderator, what's the highlight?
I've always loved getting to know players and helping with their game.

What is the lowlight?
I don't think there *is* a lowlight, really. Everything is so great. I suppose the only negative thing on Howrse is players who continually refuse to follow rules. I dislike sanctioning.

What is your primary 'Breeding goal'?
I guess it'd be to breed high gp and excellency star unicorns. I love the excitement of not knowing whether I will produce a uni or not. These new changes to unicorn breeding really do help. Especially when you're a moderator on a server where you don't live!

Favourite TV show?
Doctor Who for sure!

In your opinion, why is Multi-accounting so wrong and does the system make mistakes?
Multi accounting is wrong on many levels. If you think about it, a player gets 1 pass every 50 days. If a player has 10 accounts they get 10 passes, this can inturn be used to buy items and send them to the main account. Same with equus and horses and other BMI's. It's not fair to players who work hard for what they have or our ever supportive pass buyers. 

As for the second part of your question, yes, I do believe the system makes mistakes. I've seen genuine players have accounts deleted when they have used the same computer. Like humans, computers and IP trackers also make mistakes. 

How can we explain our innocence, if we are to get in-trouble for multi-accounting when we genuinely aren't?
Well, you need to realise first before contacting us that we know when a player is lying to us. So don't multi account and then expect to blame it on your siblings' accounts. Admin do know. 
You must *politely* state your case.
Remember, players, you may not have your ban or deletion reinstated. 


How can we avoid getting in trouble for M-A when our sibling's use the same computer?
 - Simple, use different emails
 - Log on, play and log off. Wait longer than 10 minutes before allowing a sibling to log on, and when they log off, leave a period of time before you log on. 


Thanks heaps "Y". We hope to hear from you soon, Welcome to the TH family!
No, thank you. I hope I can work with you and aid you and players in having a great game and getting the most from it!
