Hi everyone! Quick suggestion here.

I’m proposing that after the administration team has decided to permanently ban a user, after a time period of say, 3-6 months, the entire contents of that account will be wiped.

Not given to the community, Not Given to the Tree, Not Auctioned or Raffled off- WIPED

My reasoning for this is simply server space and economics.
If theoretically, an account is banned that has 300+ Buffalo scrotums (which is reasonable in some cases), those 300+ Buffalo scrotums will show up in the “# of items in game” and can effect the price of the item overall.

For Buffalo scrotums there’s always a surplus, but for items that are incredibly rare, such as Solaris and Interstellar applicators, every single item in game plays into the worth of the item. If items are on a permanently banned account, those items are never going to play a part in the economy again, and should be removed.

This also constitutes server space; the game should not have to hold onto thousands of lions and hundreds of thousands of items on accounts where the players won’t be returning.

TLDR; Wipe permabanned accounts after a period of time so the rest of the site can have more server space and remove dead items, currency, and lions from the economy



This suggestion has 538 supports and 22 NO supports.

I'd also like the number ID raffles to return. Those were pretty fun! Supported.

Even if they did want this for the sole purpose of having stuff be worth more, having all those lions just sitting around on permabanned accounts slows down the system because the server has to keep track of that many more lions. Some people who get permabanned have massive numbers of lions, and while it might not seem like that much of an improvement for server speeds, it still does something to lighten the load. Plus, this would help players have a more accurate idea as to how rare a certain item or marking is so they can plan accordingly for breeding projects. I support.

@Queen of Birbs:

Not so much that I want for “shit to be worth more,” but more like i’d want items to have an accurate value.

If items are on a permanently banned account, those items are never going back into the economy. They’re frozen there forever. It’s not the same as someone choosing to be inactive, or banned for a short period of time.
If they’re wiped out of the game after the period of time is over, not only are they not taking up the server space that they were before, but now people have a more approximate knowledge on how to price their items and which items might actually be obtainable for their projects instead of basing it off of items that are on locked accounts.

Thank you for your feedback!

Full support; the same goes for any rare lions an account may have on it! The value of muties, statters and rare marks/bases are also often tied to the number in game [in addition to popularity/etc], so we may be assuming one mark to be spreading decently while it's all on one, dead account.

Another wee small point: the mutie counter is easily available and everyone can take a peek at how many of a given mutie are in-game. With potentially dozens technically existing but forever out of play, it could mean the difference between deciding to keep your rare Lethal or sell it off, figuring you can buy a prettier one later.

Most users don't publish what they have in their hoard, so guessing how many items are actually forever out of circulation would be nigh-impossible. Knowing the number will let users decide with more accuracy if they should stock up on X or on Y in a given event, knowing how likely they are to find some for sale down the line.

I support. Even without the effect it may have on the economy of some items, it's wasteful to have accounts sitting around that can never be returned to. Granted, I don't know how much this happens and it probably does not happen too much but overtime, things accumulate and they should be deleted, or as you said, "wiped".

I support! Especially with the new server is going and how the poor last server ended (Rest in charred pieces), it would be good to lighten the load!

I support, but possibly extend that wait period. I was gone for over two years, and I'm honestly surprised everything is still here.

However, I know that lions and items sitting for two years doing nothing is no good.
So maybe, if the account can be labeled "inactive" -- Never logged in for 6 months, maybe even just 2-3 months -- then their lions and items can be considered "hidden"? They won't appear in any searches until the user logs back in.
I'm not sure how it would work, but it's an idea.

edit: wipe is after players are permabanned nvm haha

I'm not sure if i understood you right, are you saying that only players that are permanently banned should have their items and lions wiped?

@Ballysis This is only for permanently banned accounts, not for those that don't log in for an extended period of time.
