Professor wants DupeRam12345 to stay permanently banned with no 2nd chance even if he offers money.
It's been fun interacting with the community in the forums, I should do stuff like this again.
I guess the lesson is that you shouldn't betray the people who trusted you nor tell lies to your community, as ultimately, you will be forced to face the consequences of your actions.
If I were him, I would close the ArchMc chapter in my life and move on to something greater.
All the best…

Dear Players,
It's me Zarif, one of the Admins of this server and website.
Recently, there have been many reports against some of our staff members on our team and unrest with the decision to ban certain players.
Let me tell you how it all started.
Monica, the manager of the server, recently started giving out special deals where players could get items discounted if they bought a certain amount. For example, one of the deals Monica had was buy 4 tags for 80 USD. Normally, buying 4 tags would cost you 120 USD, but since it was in a deal you could save 40 USD. Some players, such as the ones banned (DupeRam12345, 200BoxedLost, and others) have attempted to abuse this system by buying the bundle and then requesting a refund in hopes of getting the regular price refund rate instead of the bundle rate. This is considered fraud, and since it involves real money, it can be illegal. We swiftly banned these players upon the realization of their abuse. Some players who have been banned have been unbanned after paying the amount of money they frauded in their refunds. That is why there is an unban price for certain players. I've also noticed certain screenshots circulating the forums of Monica using completely unacceptable words. The higher staff and I will have a thorough talk with him about his behavior.
I am open to any valid criticism regarding this situation, I am not perfect, nor are the players involved.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reply below.
Evidence:
thats only true if monica did not double my custom tags and i somehow got 4 instead of 2….since the admins converted my 2 custom tags to 4 THAT MEANS 120 CREDITS
then continues with his insults and stupid stuff like BRUH
BRUH JUST STOP YAPPING AND SPAMING YOU ARE ANYOING AND YOU ALR SAY THIS FOR 10 times
dupe stop copy and pasting the same argument, it shows that you aren't really processing what people and staff are saying.
Okay we should all chill and talk about this later :)
For it to be legally or ethically considered fraud, there must be intent to deceive. If i had known this would cause a ban, i never would’ve done it. It wasn’t made clear.
there you go can u read that….
Bingo :)
2NY I agree, I think Dupe escalated the situation (though he did expose Monica, but that has no relation to this case).
please dupe, for your own sake, think through this and do not lose the second chance you received.
…
plz dont lose that second chance
it's understandable to feel as though there is no “justice” because doing this wasn't necessarily “illegal” in terms of the forum rules.
however, do you really think making money off of the unawareness of the staff was right?
hopefully the staff will maintain the second chance, but it might be too late.
wishing the best for you though :)
No its not too late so duper shut up
that more silent u stay the better
let me deal with it
nah i don't think he listened 2NY ; _ ;
breh, just take the credits he scammed back
exactly
Zarif is that the reason why they need to pay $25 to get unbanned?
damn I never guess I never knew who dupe was
A FRAUD
