MULES

What is a Mule?
A mule is an extra account made by a user for various reasons (ie; shopkeeping, roleplaying)

Lately there has been some problems with mule abuse, so I thought it necessary to remind users what we can use mules for, and what we cannot.


:ql: What the Rules say about them :qstar:

Mules (additional accounts) are permitted in moderation. This means you may own additional accounts for things like for example item storage or shop managing purposes.
As a guideline: 1-2 Mule accounts are fine, everything beyond that is critical. If in doubt, contact an administrator and ask about the legitimacy of additional accounts.
You may not create accounts with the sole purpose of gaining additional items for your main account, additional votes in KOfK features like polls or contest votings, or any other aspect of the site where having addition accounts will give you any kind of advantage over users with only one account.
Should we determine that your mule accounts are breaking these rules or you created too many accounts, these accounts will get banned or deleted without prior warning and your main account might be hold accountable with warnings or bannings depending on the severity of the case.
All accounts are bound to the rules of The Kingdom Of Knuffel.

:ql: Do not talk with yourself :qstar:

Main Account: I am selling _____

Mule: Good luck :3



:ql: Do not pretend your mules are different people

Main Account: Oh, I like this new event/shop/update/etc!

Mule: Oh, this new event/shop/update/etc is great!



:ql: Do not claim your Mules are your siblings/friends

Main Account: Hello X, how have you been?

Mule: I am fine, thank you!

We understand that you might have siblings in the same house, who want to enjoy the site too. That's alright. However, in order to not cause any misunderstanding please refrain from talking with your siblings via KOfK when you live in the same house. Just go over to your sister's /brother's room if you want to talk with them.
Not only won't you risk being suspected of talking with your own mules, but it's so much nicer and more social this way.


:ql: Do not get double collect from charities / thread events (unless it is specifically permitted) :qstar:

Charity Thread: Just request, and I'll get to work

Main: I want Angel Wings

Mule: I want Demon Eyes


:ql: Moderate Your Mules :qstar:

You may not create a mass of additional accounts with the sole purpose of gaining additional items for your avatar, meaning that 2 or 3 additional accounts are fine, 20 or 30 aren't. All accounts are bound to the rules of The Kingdom Of Knuffel.


In basic terms, don't go frilly with making mules. ;3 Try to have a moderate amount. Some users prefer more mules than others ^_^


:ql: Rules are the Same :qstar:
Mule or not, your accounts are bound to the same exact rules!!! You are not permitted to spam with mules, just as you are not allowed to spam with your main. You agree to the same terms each time you create an account.


:ql: Have Fun :qstar:
Enjoy your time on KofK, mules can be a nice way to dress-up, roleplay, shopkeep, and do many other various activities, and you should use your mules for this. As long as you follow the rules no problems will arise... however, we won't hesitate to delete your account (with the food and items) if it is being abused!!!

Yikes!! it's gotten that bad?

I have one mule, and it's for storage, and will later be an auctioneer for me so I can keep my shop from getting overrun with auctions... But that's pretty much it. Plus it's male, so I can try out looks with it that I can't with mine.

Four mules isn't much of an issue.
If you don't abuse them, you are fine.

As I stated, some prefer more mules than others ^^; there's not really an official limit, just a suggestion!
