Chompertons Noobz Stolen

Apparently, Chompertons lost 2 million noobz due to a mistake he made on a sign in his shop. While I understand that it is not against the rules to take advantage of this mistake, it definitely says a lot about the person who took the noobz and refused to return them. Two million noobz represents a lot of hard work. Why take advantage of somebody's error to such a large extent?

I haven't been on this server long, but it has been really great. This type of behavior is unfortunate.

Hey FatherBot

I understand this is a distressing matter and can be quite frustrating...

But unfortunately as much as we would love to help  Chompertons There is nothing we can do.
This was an error on his behalf and he made that sign so it is fair game.
My granny always told me "you make a mistake you pay the price" it is the same in this case too.

There is other means of solving this such as possibly a fund raiser for chompertons shop.

But all he could do was ask for his money back and alas it didn't work.

Hope this helps

The thing is though, maybe the "thief" didn't know it was a mistake and saw an opportunity to make a lot of money, without knowing it was a mistake. As Leigh said, "you make a mistake, you pay the price".

I understand that what happened was within the parameters of the rules. That doesn't make it right.

My parents taught me to treat others the way you want to be treated. This type of action shows more about true character than merely following rules. Being able to get away with something doesn't mean it is the right thing to do.

However, I understand that nothing can be officially done. It's just an underhanded way to treat somebody.

Hello,

The full amount has been returned to this player from granted server money. Although Whuck was only making profit he clearly saw the opportunity and took full advantage. Noobstown is not about taking advantage of other community members and screwing them over, resulting in them wanting to leave the server, this player is clearly upset and his hours of work on the server has become meaningless. We encourage users to be careful when making their shops, we also encourage our community to be honest and think about others, we as a community care about everyones experience inside the server and would like to maintain a community of players that are kind and caring of one another. This decision has been made because we value our community, each and everyone of you. This is a game and we are in the position to fix this problem and keep a genuinely nice person in the community, which benefits us all.

Whuck, I don't know if you spent the money on purpose to avoid having to pay back these costs or are you are genuinely a busy person who does a lot of trading. I will not judge you,  I simply hope you learn from this and take into consideration the feelings of others within the community and instead point out a clear mistake rather than take advantage and cause players to leave the server.

Foob, you put it nicely. Leigh, while we can't do very much as it was the player who placed the signs fault, it's also best that you report this rather than use it to your advantage, which is what this person did. Chompertons, I am sorry this has happened to you, please note that not all players are like this. Again, from all of us, we apologize that this has happened to you. If there's anything I can do to  further assist you in-game, at any time, please don't hesitate to ask!
