Is Prospecting Banning Players?
In the Prospecting Discord, manager Charlotte shared in the Announcements channel that Rules, FAQ, and Support have been refreshed. Alongside the message “Our main focus was to update and refresh our rules and important information to ensure the community is a safe place for all! As a result, we are going to be much stricter with enforcing our rules and giving out punishments.“
On the surface, this seems easy enough, but looking deeper, we discover an underbelly that risks players being banned. Following Charlotte’s message, Admin North added:
As you may or may not have heard, there is currently another server “selling” prospecting services (ProspectPing), which includes merchant stock and events. In light of recent events, anyone found to be affiliated will be banned here.
The server blatantly violates our rules, and for your safety, we ask you to leave immediately. This officially marks 48 hours of notice from when we will carry out the ban wave.
If you have purchased something already, unfortunately, we will not be offering forms of compensation. Services such as merchant stock may be available on this server in the near future, too, so don’t worry!
Should You Be Worried
That depends on whether you are a member of this ProspectPing server. It also seems that this ban wave will only happen internally within the Prospecting Discord and not transfer into their main game. That said, nothing is preventing the DEVs from banning individual players if they discover their affiliated username.
What Is The ProspectPing Server?
Now, I won’t link this since I don’t want to encourage players to check it out. But this server pings players to tell them about merchant wares and in-game events. It’s similar to the Grow a Garden notifier servers, if you’re familiar.
The main Prospecting Discord team worry about this server as it’s not regulated by their own staff, so they cannot prevent potential scams. Their method of countering this server is to threaten the ban hammer, hopefully convincing players to leave.
It was stated that Prospecting is working towards creating its own notifier on its main server to ensure the safety and satisfaction of all players.
What You Need To Do
If you are part of the ProspectPing server or know anyone who is, you should tell them to leave as soon as possible. The Admins of the Prospecting server are only allowing 48 hours before their mass ban.
