hmm... You sure do have my attention... but the question is what do you expect me to do?
We know that private world creators could edit players cash amount within that world.
We know that it has happended, plenty of times.
We don't know if this is the case for Hal.
We have anticipated this would happen, and we have come to a conclusion before private worlds were lanuched.
The bottomline is that if the private world creators cheat by utilizing the tools that we place there, originally intented for them to maintain discipline within their world, we cannot do anything about it, because it is their world. Granted, it is unethical, and that they are abusing the trust the players give them by joining their worlds, but again, it is their world, so their rules.
I know that this is not what you all wants to hear. However, I have discussed this with Stephen before. It was under another scenario, in which the world creators open the world to public, then kick the players out randomly. We know that there are certain circumstances that the power given to the world creators could be abused and result in complaint. However, we agree that no membership support would be given in private worlds unless the world creator / world admins request(s) for it. It is afterall their world, and they have the responsibilities for their actions. They would get a bad reputation at the very least and people would not join their worlds. That said, getting messed with by the private world creators is a risk that you need to take.
So... in conclusion, the public worlds exist for a reason. Private worlds are only intented for relatively small parties, who have bonded over time, or out of AM, and have built the trust. If you don't even know who the creator of the private you are in is, you are better off in a public world, where you get the full support of the AM team.
(oh and Rens, you can see everything that I can see... so... am I smarter than you or what?
