Bans Update

We're applying bans as we wrap up Season 12. In Season 13, all bans will be reset, giving everyone a fresh opportunity to earn tips.

At the end of each season, we'll reevaluate activity using a rule-based analysis of our choosing to weed out behavior that closely aligns with farming. To prevent gaming the system, we won't announce rules in advance but will use various techniques to monitor how tips are being distributed.

Honestly, I thought the rules were clear and straightforward. You had said that no one should tip more than 15 times to the same person, and we followed that. We didn’t use bots for tipping.

But when I tip a fellow artist for the beautiful work they create, I never count how much I’ve received or how much I’ve given, and this matter is beyond our control!

I believe your actions have caused distrust and disappointment within the community.

I can no longer trust because I was an honest user, followed the rules, but was unaware of these hidden rules.
