As one of the smaller airlines I would like to say that such a rule does not seem to be fair. If one has 2 planes and both of them have 0,5 frequency left I would not say it's not reasonable to put them both on the most profitable route. And as these frequencies are daily so we get about 14 frequencies per month, which is ok in real life.
And second idea, to take any sanctions one should first make some affort and notify every reasonable player about the RULES. Are there any mentioning of this rule in the manual? or maybe there are any warning messages? Or maybe there is a section called RULES on this site? All the answers are NO.
This is an unfair condition, because person should be informed of any special rules, bans and the conciquences.
And what will happen to people who violate this frequency rule?
1. The rule is fair. It is just that you can't have more than 2 0.5 frequncies between any pair of airports. If you have time left for 0.5, you could put it in, as long as you don't do more than 2 to the same destination from the same origin.
2. That would be a good idea. Stephen has been trying to add the rules to the registration page, but bug fixing took priority. We would certainly look into that. However, we will not be emailing warnings to players this round because we have found that ineffective from the experience of the last round. Most people ignore the warning and the warning period delays the closure of the routes. The warning itself also takes the time of checking 3 accounts on average, which means by eliminating the warning process, we can check 4 times as many accounts in the same period of time.
3. For the accounts I inspected, they get banned with their routes closed. Then right after the suspension of their accounts, they get an email from me to their registered email. If however, their emails are fake, then I can't do anything about that. (That would be their own fault to put in a false email). The email states that the accounts have been suspended and to email me back to reinstated them. As soon as I receive the replies, the accounts got release. The players that have experiences this would tell you the same thing. Mind you, there could be some delays, because I do have classes and I need sleep. However, every accounts suspended due to that reason has been reactivated within 12 hours of the players' reply. Average time is about an hour or so, because I am always here.
