Evony has a new message on their home page.  Here’s a snippet of it:

Dear Players,

We have been excited at the success of iEvony, but we have also come across an unintended side effect of the iEvony system. Some players have abusively and unethically engaged in spamming practices on a variety of websites with the intent of boosting their credits. This practice affects site traffic and makes headaches and extra work for moderators on a variety of websites. It reflects poorly not only on these users, but also on Evony as a whole.

For this reason, we will absolutely not tolerate such spamming practices. Players who engage in spam practices (posting multiple threads from multiple accounts on the same site, attempting to get forum users to follow a link) will be aggressively pursued and sanctioned. Penalties may include: being stripped of ALL earned Credits and any Coins or items they were exchanged for; having your iEvony account permanently disabled; being temporarily or permanently banned from Evony.

An unintended side effect huh?  Hmm… who could have foreseen something like that happening?  Completely out of the blue, and totally shocking.  

What?  The message didn’t say they were surprised, or that it was unexpected?  Hmm…  They will not admit stupidity here, which makes sense.  What doesn’t make sense is that this notice is only put up now after the “headaches and extra work for moderators on a variety of websites” rather than when the iEvony rewards program was posted.  Even worse, they still support this spamming program and a much nastier email spam program which will pay for every email sent (not just for actual joining).  Do I really need to predict more negative spamming reputation and this program being discontinued?  Shouldn’t you just start using sustainable advertising/affiliate practices Evony and discontinue your spam ones?
