So is it also ok, if a friend for example logs on to his BB-account on my PC? Or is this forbidden? There wouldn't be any "gameplay damaging actions" involved...

You just can't sell players each other. You can log from one computer, but you can't manage other team (it doesn't matter if it is your brother or friend team). And that's all I think.

well, strictly this indeed is not forbidden, however I must warn caution here.
If for example someone acuses you to have logged in to someone else's team, and we go investigating the case, and see that there was indeed a log-in from your pc to the other team, we have very few reasons to doubt the report...

It is not allowed to help friends manage their teams while the are on vacation for example... Everyone should manage his own team only, and only 1. We have no prove that it wasn't you but your friend loggin in to his team from your pc. If you get in trouble in this way, I don't think there is any chance you'll get your team back by telling:"hey it wasn't me"

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

you send a BB-mail to a GM asking him to put into your admin notes that your brother also has a team, and add the teamname. And that he also adds this info in your brother's team's notes, but then adding your teamname ofcourse.

It is also best to announce he will request a team beforehand, and choose the GM of your country if there is one, so he won't reject the sign-up request.

Once you both have your teams, make sure you do not transfer players between your teams, there are loads of teams who can buy your players, and loads of players to buy from other teams. If you stick to this simple rule, you should be able to enjoy the game without being accused of cheating.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

I'm sure the actual investigations following cheating accusations take this into account and are carried out case-by-case.

definatly.
We are aware that public computers can be used by multiple users.

But you also must understand that when we get a report, and we see it is no public computer, but a personal at someone's home, we have little info that points in the direction of a false report. Just as we want to believe the users telling:ït wasn't me" we also want to believe the user reporting the cheat.

Somehow we will HAVE TO give the one or the other the credit of belief... It's obvious 1 of them lies... I would like to know what you would decide in this case, but also know GMs do not make decisions on their own. Multiple visions on the case and multiple GMs investigating a case come to a conclusion in the end, and as you said each case is looked at separatly, don't worry.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

(edited most of the stuff out for same reason as above)

I guess what is available and used in reality should not be discussed here as that information is valuable to possible cheaters.

you are correct for 100%. And no we will not give away our methods.

I am now also confident that you understand why I wrote that initial message of caution.
By not doing anything that makes our task any harder than it already is, you prevent yourself, and us from getting in a difficult position.
