Negative gold in this forum...

Kristian95 · Boatswain Posts: 3149 **4687 Gold** -

I have been wondering, how come one member of this forum has managed to have a negative amount of gold ??? I didn't know we have an alchymist here who has discovered the famous substance antigold Razz

Or is he such a good pirate that he has a nice letter of credit with the shops around here ??? Razz

It was a spammer and we deleted his posts which took away gold which gave him a negative amount.

I don't know to whom you refer, but negative gold is a possibility if you delete enough of your own messages.

It may be a sign of someone who has tried to take an advantage of the posting system and the fact that there have been no moderators present at the time to catch him/her (posting long messages to earn a lot of gold, bought stuff from the shops and then deleted the long and pointless messages to cover his/her tracks). The bad thing about this is that the admins can find this out in the admin section of the board and ban the one responsible from the forum.

(We go straight for the ban when someone purposefully tries to cheat)

I'll give it a look...
