First of all, I'd like to thank The Hunter (the plaintiff) for his efforts in helping the forum in fighting cheating in campaigns and multi-accounts. I need to emphasize that we as judges always use facts and legal rules in making decisions. We are of course always on the neutral side in deciding every case.
Based on what the plaintiff conveyed, we have carried out further investigation and analysis regarding this case.
With the facts provided, we can draw several important points regarding this case:
1. There is only 1 type of evidence, namely proof of transactions between wallets.
2. There is no supporting evidence that the sending wallet and receiving wallet are owned or managed by Damsix itself.
3. Damsix admitted that these accounts were accounts owned by his family.
4. Previously there were no special rules regarding joining a family forum. However, currently, there is a rule that states that other family members can only use 1 of the 2 extra accounts that we have.
The 2 extra accounts must declare duplicate accounts on the forum.
5. Because the accounts are used by different people, it is not considered a cheating campaign.
6. Regarding karma abuse, we leave it to the admin, because only the admin can access and know the karma log.
By paying attention to the existing points, the accused's accounts have relation because they are still in the same family of Damsix. This is reinforced by Damsix's own admission. However, this account is not considered a multi-account because it is not used by one person. However, because the forum has just made new rules regarding the use of accounts within the same family, Damsix is obliged to follow the new rules made by the forum. In accordance with the new rules, Damsix and his family can only use 3 accounts. 1 main account Damsix account, 2 duplicate Damsix accounts. Damsix is required to declare the 2 duplicate accounts in the related thread. One of the 2 duplicate accounts can be used by his family.
There is no key admissible evidence related to cheating, there is only evidence of transfers between wallets which are not accompanied by supporting evidence regarding the wallets being managed by one person. The key evidence in question is direct evidence which shows that the wallets are indeed owned by the same person. There needs to be further evidence such as POA, data, or other things that support proof of the transfer.
We close this case with the following conclusions:
Stating that Damsix is obliged to follow the new rules regarding the use of accounts within the same family which were agreed upon at the Senate hearing. Meanwhile, the accusation of cheating was not proven because the evidence was still weak.
Notes:
- Judges make decisions based on existing facts. Judges do not make decisions based on assumptions or abstract things that have no definite basis or benchmarks.
- The judge does not give punishment for something that has no legal basis in the forum.
