RSS Feeds and Cheat Protection

    • You can be sitted, only with the agrement of the operator.

      The GCU stipulates expressly :
      4.2
      Log-in data, identification, passwords


      4.2.1.
      The user is obliged to keep log-in data and all identification
      and passwords strictly confidential. The user may enter log-in data
      only on Gameforge operated Internet pages.


      4.2.2.
      The term “log-in data” and “identification and passwords”
      includes all letter and/or character and/or number sequences, used to
      authenticate the user and to exclude use by an unauthorized third party.
      The password should not be identical with the player name and it
      should consist of a combination of numbers and letters.


      4.2.3.
      The user is obliged to protect all log-in data, identifications and passwords from unauthorized access of third parties.


      4.2.4.
      In the event that the user has reason to believe that third
      parties have obtained this information, or could have, he/she shall
      inform Gameforge immediately and change his/her data or have it changed
      by Gameforge. In this case or in the event that Gameforge has evidence
      of misuse of data, Gameforge has the right to block the access of the
      user temporarily. The user shall be permitted again the use as soon as
      the suspicion of misuse of data has been removed.


      4.2.5.
      The user is under no circumstances entitled to use the log-in
      data of another user, unless the rules of the game provide specific
      exceptions.

      Of course, if a team puts in place a common RSS reader for all accounts, they have to share their login...

      And no place for interpretation here... Its very clear.

      And NO, RSS is not external, its incredible to hear this as an excuse to not securize and not avoid abuses of that. This point is also written in the GCU :
      4.3.2.
      The term "content" includes all data, images, text, graphics,
      music, sounds, sound sequences, videos, software programs and codes,
      and other information, provided by Gameforge on its Internet pages. The
      term "content" includes also all available service offerings for
      downloading.
      API, RSS, are content provided by GF on a web service... Its not my imagination...

    • Just ask your community administrator to change the rules :)
      In the dutch community sharing RSS feed is now equal to sharing an account.
      So the same rules are applied for both !

      Het mag duidelijk zijn dat je, met méer dan een account in je beheer (multi), een oneerlijk voordeel hebt tov andere spelers.
      Ook door account(s) met meerdere spelers samen te beheren (sharing) krijg je een groot voordeel tov andere spelers.
      Vandaar dat multi en sharing verboden zijn. Het beschikbaar stellen van rss-feeds aan derden wordt gelijk gesteld aan sharing

      Its a great news, I'm really happy to see that some actors with power of decision can think to the pleasure of the players.

      But, and probably you can't reply regarding the DPA, but the operators have tools to hunt this, and apply sanctions ?
