Erm… What?

Alright, I fully expected to get obliterated after the first few replies came in following these tweets. Maybe not as much, but it's my own fault for how I worded the replies. I'll try offer some clarity to put peoples minds at rest, because this really wasn't meant to blow up past my initial reply to the tweet.

Clan bingo is fine. It is highly unlikely you'll ever face an issue in regards to RWT for receiving gold as part of a clan funded prize pool - all RWT bans are thoroughly checked and reviewed to prevent this, but mistakes can happen.

The first reply that's been quoted above is poorly worded and I apologise for that. It was intended to be a tongue in cheek way of saying stop playing with people who are breaking the rules and you won't have to worry. Now obviously you don't necessarily know who is breaking the rules, and we don't expect you to the be ones policing the game as you've rightly pointed out that's our job.

In hindsight I would have deleted it instantly cause it is pretty bad, but that often just ends up looking worse, so I tried to clarify that genuine players shouldn't really have anything to worry about as how we handle RWT bans hasn't changed, just we're doing more of them, that you shouldn't get banned for innocently interacting with someone who has RWT.

The second tweet (about its makes complete sense) is also very poorly worded and looking back now its a bit embarassing... but what I was trying to say here is that when looking at it from how the system detects potential RWT it DOES make complete sense. If you interact with someone who is involved with RWT, then it's likely that you are marked for review to see if you're also involved. But that's where the thorough checks come into play to avoid anyone being incorrectly banned. However, there is always a chance we got it wrong, and I know darn well if I said in a tweet there's no chance you'd ever get banned it'd be mentioned until the end of time. I'm not saying I think this is a good system, or that it's the right way to go about handling it, but that's how it's done right now.

Lastly, some of you pulled up my reply to Tedious (the Tesco comment). I try to have fun on socials, and I have great relationships with many different people within the community. When I wrote that, this wasn't as big of an issue as it is now and I thought it was just some harmless fun interaction with a creator I am fond of. It wasn't meant to be a slick reply or anything of the sorts, but I certainly see why it comes across that way. Apologies again if you took it seriously, which I don't think you'd be wrong to have done so.

Anyway, I hope this clears things up. I really didn't intend to rile anyone up over this.
