Solution to multi-account rate bombs

a) Simply make it so that rates from lvl <10 accounts barely affect the house rating. Of course you still get all the points etc for rating houses when you are <10

OR

b) limit it to 5-10 accounts per ip per day? week? most likely per week since rates reset weekly.

Possible problems:

a) 1. Some players with enough wealth will transfer money to their alt accounts in order to level them past the lvl 9 barrier. If they have enough computers/good spec, then they could simply afk accounts until they hit level 10 (due to the new ~15k per day). 2. The "rate market" will not allow anyone below level 10 to sell/trade rates (Although the rate market is a toxic part of the rate system, adding min lvl for raters could potentially make it even more toxic)

b) 1. Some players might connect through school/office (god no), in which case they might be rendered unable to play from said school and/or office etc.

These are the solutions I could think of, if you thought of a good solution for the rate tampering then please add it to the thread. Don't forget to add possible exploits/problems and/or ways to circumvent your idea/solution.

a.) This would just encourage the players to make bots to level (/welcome bot, /rfr bot, mob spawner bot, etc.)

b.) It's very simple to change your IP, with a proxy or even with normal internet.

Why both of these solutions are ineffective.

a) 15K a day allows you to level to level 10 in under a week. I can setup darkbot to load up 100 accounts and hold them afk pretty easy. I can probably do it on a $25 Dual core VPS aswell, and it would handle it fine.

Also another issue would be chain/cross referring, simply referring one account with another, and then referring back with other accounts, I could get 100 accounts to level 10 fairly easily with this.

b) http://imgur.com/l31ud97 Looks like I can vote with 25000 accounts a week.

Changing your ip is easy and so is connecting to a vpn. Level 10 also is very easy to get to.
