As many of you may know, a player came on to the server a few days ago with what is believed to be thousands of duped cubits. I, unfortunately, was amongst the first few people to receive any of these duped cubits so I did not suspect them of being cheated in. With roughly 200 cubits in my /cubit bal, I was able to buy myself Elite and extend that generosity to other players by sending them cubits for ranks and other items in the manacube shop.
My attempted generosity led to unforeseen consequences. Since I spread duped cubits to other players, staff had a harder time tracking down and removing the false ranks, items, and cubits that were in circulation. In fact, duped cubits are still circulating the economy due to them being tough to track down.
Following the incident, I had my Elite rank stripped and the duped cubits removed from my balance. This is fair, and I completely supported that action. However, staff has also punished me by taking away my 25.44 hard-earned cubits too—for spreading cubits that, again, I didn't know were duped, I was stripped of the rest of my legit cubits. This, to me, is completely unfair as I was not aware of the scale of this situation and had believed that I was just lucky to have received so many cubits.
Others on the server (Oasis) have also had cubits and in-game money taken from them as punishment for their interactions with the player—I write this on their behalf as well. Staff should not have taken away anything from us that we had earned ourselves prior to our involvement in this situation.
Attached below is my support ticket in which I explained my situation in greater detail. Additionally, a staff response is included as justification for their actions.
You may agree with me, or you may disagree with me, but I feel that staff should rightfully compensate the affected players who were punished for their transactions involving these cubits. If you made it this far, thank you for reading, and feel free to comment below regarding support or criticism of my thoughts.
