Following recent reports, investigations have revealed that both The Black Riders and The Land Of Kings And Emperors have been using an illegal recruitment script, and as such both regions have been banned from all telegram recruiting for 3 months.
Telegram recruiting offers recruiters three channels: TG Stamps (which you have to buy), API (which you can use scripts for), and Manual (sending 1-to-1 TGs in-game, with or without a TG template). These are balanced so that Manual recruiters aren't squeezed out by Stamp buyers and API bots: in practical terms, this means that recruitment messages sent Manually tend arrive a bit faster than via Stamps and the API, because there are fewer of them.
It is absolutely prohibited by the Script Rules to use a script to fake manual recruitment, and the only reason for doing so is to cheat the game and disadvantage legitimate recruiters.
Both The Black Riders and The Land of Kings and Emperors have been using an illegal script that faked Manual recruitment for a sustained period of time. This script was developed with the DOS player Anur-Sanur/Frak.
As punishment, both The Black Riders and The Land of Kings and Emperors have been banned from all telegram recruiting for a period of 3 months. This includes recruiting via API, manual telegrams and stamps*. The punishment has been enacted already by the administrators and starts today. Any attempt to evade this block (for example by recruiting for 'proxy regions') will result in an extension of the block by 1 month per attempt, as well as severe punishment for all players involved.
The player 'Bob Moran' has had all his nations deleted as punishment for using this script and for working with the DOS player Anur-Sanur/Frak, and we are currently considering DOS status for him as well. Bob Moran is recommended to contact us as soon as possible to explain his actions, and to post a public apology for his rules violations, or he will not be allowed to continue to use this site.
If you have questions, they may be asked in this thread. As ever, gloating is prohibited and will result in warnings.
*The Black Riders currently have a Stamp recruitment TG in the queue; this will be allowed to run its course, which should be done in approximately 2-3 days.

Quite some interesting news for the day, I'd say.
