TOPIC: [SSRP] Disallowing alts Suggestion

Server Name: SSRP

Suggestion Title: Disallowing alts

How would it benefit the server:
Better economy/BALANCE between players we wouldnt want any advantages that others may not be able to achieve!

Potential Issues/Exploits:
The issues would be the lack of issues.

Additional notes:

I agree although this wont get accepted as it stops the player count looking higher than it is.....

Man we need balance first we start with gangs now we move on to alts we need to dot all our i's and cross our t's, We wouldn't wanna be INCONSISTENT WITH OUR LOGIC.

not only this but alts have been a big thing in the past too when it came to being able to have more printers, miners, and props to gain a significant advantage. the only problem I see is that maybe I just have no knowledge of the area, but how they would exactly make this possible

Ngl most people dont use a proxy per alt. thats how.....

As a player who has 3 alts, I agree with this suggestion, maybe once the player database increases, not currently when we need the players in the gametracker,

Yea cause you know whats really gonna make people happy. Seeing a server with players, downloading all the content, have a look at all the cool features to find out that every player is afk or an alt. On top of this I think using alts to boost a player count to attract players is highly against gametracker TOU (think josh had issues with it but im not 100%)


As for this suggestion its a long time coming. Alt's should have been banned since para introduced them. The rule is "to gain an advantage" yet somehow upping your printer limited or having a second miner isn't an advantage a player without alts can obtain?

We do not have any plans at the current time to completely disallow alternate accounts on the server for a couple of reasons. One of these is the fact that this rule would be very difficult to enforce, so we already have the rule which prevents the use of alternate account for an RP advantage in certain situations (ie. using alts to do do drug runs / bypass player limit requirements), and the addition of that rule worked well to reduce the advantage people got from using alts.

I'd also like to add that people need to stop with the disrespectful comments towards Afrohat, someone who has tried to help out the server. The COMMUNITY TEAM made the decision to implement the suggestion, and if you would like to question it or make further suggestions you can contact us rather than having such an awful attitude towards someone who has been very respectful and helpful.
