Action Taken Against Bot Users
In response to community concerns, we have permanently banned 69 accounts for clear use of a particular third-party program or "bot" that interacts with Stronghold Kingdoms. We are continuing to investigate the use of third party programs in Stronghold Kingdoms across all accounts and may issue further bans in the future.

Anyone who deems that they've been banned in error, or can otherwise attest said decision should use the ticket system. The devs will need to take things by an individual basis.

Re: Action Taken Against Bot Users
It's about time something was getting done...many of us were sick of seeing these pesky bots running 24/7 - there's a name that hasn't been banned and I watched that player over 60 hours and he was running bots all that time, which is disheartening...maybe they're only banning those that are spending less than others.

Re: Action Taken Against Bot Users
this is some top notch comedy right here guys admin got "hacked",lost control or whatever the * you want to name it, posted something people would only describe as hilarious and then deleting it and acting like nothing happened LOL.
the real question is what the * is happening to stronghold kingdoms lol
Edited by admin:
The admin was not hacked, someone with control of an old account with a type of old moderator access to the forum vandalized the post by making malicious edits. All users with this role have been removed and the post has been restored. We will not tolerate users trying to scam others, who expose the personal details of other individuals, or re-post such information. That's why it was taken down and why this post was edited too.
