There seems to still be some doubt or confusion as to what abusing or exploiting a glitch means. I'll place some examples here to hopefully make things a bit more clear.
This snip of text was found during an investigation of glitch abuse several months ago, involving the cooking basin: "a word of caution. after NAME REMOVED sent me that rmail, i checked his online status and found 2 new mods monitoring our every move. so don't cook any glitch or refrest items".
The above is an example of...

When it comes to multiple accounts, there seems to be only one norm that everyone thinks of. The user creates more than one account, uses each of them and sends all of the profit to one account.You'll often find notes on profiles that say, "Hi staff, me and my sibling _______ play on the same computer, please don't ban us!"They then continue to play normally - and that's fine! It's when these things start happening that suspicion arises:The sibling gets bored with Rescreatu and stop using their...

I received a very angry email this morning from a user who thought she was permanently banned from the site. I don't blame her one bit for being so angry, because she is completely innocent. What had happened was that her IP address changed, and it just happened to change to one that was previously used by a different member who truly earned themselves an IP ban.
I know some of you are wondering what an IP ban is. IP stands for Internet Protocol. Every website has an IP address - most just use...

So lately, users have been spotted speculating why so many older site members are suddenly being banned. A favorite reason to list for these bans is jealousy, and of course the reasons already addressed in the first blog entry.

It has come to our attention that there have been a lot of rumours flying around about staff members - especially Support staff. In this post, I will be hopefully explaining and busting some of the negative myths surrounding staff misconduct.
Myth no. 1
"Sticky-paws" staffers.
A lot of Rescreatu members have heard from members who have been banned that we ban people in order to steal pets and items from their accounts. Their only piece of "solid" proof is usually that they have seen banned users'...

Recently, there is a lot of mis-information floating around Rescreatu and the internet regarding the staff and bannings.
Staff are lazy, and ban accounts that appear on the same IP address
Staff are corrupt, and ban accounts to steal items, TU, and/or pets
Staff are designing the game to maximize profit for themselves
Staff bans users for accidentally abusing glitches
#1. Consider this for a moment: AOL is still one of the most popular ISP's today. AOL users have IP addresses which are constantly...
