Some players have been farming extensively - even sending hundreds of PMs to the latest members to get them into their games.
This is a gross abuse of the game. It gives the New Recruit "victims" a poor first experience and reduces the chances of them sticking around. As farmers move up the scoreboard it also harms the competitive nature of Conquer Club - the scoreboard is meant to measure skill in the game, not "harvesting" techniques.
In accordance with the desires and feedback of the majority of the community, our rules and as a new leaf for 2009, it is our New Years resolution to make Newbie Farming forbidden. Members who continue this practice will receive point resets and then progressively longer website bans.
This does not mean you will get in trouble for joining a game here and there with many new recruits. We are only talking about the systematic targeting of new recruits.
Here's a good argument made by karelpietertje.

Then pick a map that is in the list of maps New Recruits can join, and make a whole bunch of them.
New Recruits can't see 6-8 man games, so in the Join A Game list, they will pretty soon show up at the first page, while at the same time, it's still on like page 30 for the rest of CC.
These games were specifically created en masse to attract new recruits with no intention of them being filled by ranked players. It was systematic farming.
Oh really, Dibbun? You are such a fucking idiot, you literally have no common sense whatsoever.
"These games were created in mass' - oh really now? Is that why I create like 5-7 games at a time when all my previous games were finished. That sounds like MASSING to me for sure!
"No intention of them being filled with ranked players" - Shut the f*ck up..First, what proof do you have of this? oh thats right, NOTHING! If i didn't want to play ranked players, you wouldn't see the occasional speed game in there against a lot of majors+. You wouldn't see any games with ranked players dumbass. I have never dropped a game because another rated player joined in on the action. And i have dropped plenty of games when I'm on in time to see 2/3 New Recruits joined in on a game. Whether its you Dibbun, your mom, your dad, your grandpa, ill layeth the smacketh down on all their candy asses'!! just bring it!
If i get noted, warned or point reset, I will continute to play the same exact setting everytime.. I PAY for this website and I will play the game and the setting that I like the best! If you want something done, take Pelo War off the maps NR can play!
I have never dropped games because some competition has joined in.. I don't invite NR to my games. I sstart the games(90% of the time, 10 games) and don't log in til tomorrow.. So most of the time, I'm not around when they do join up.
Everytime I create 10 games or so like i previously stated, shall I post in General Discussion that my games are now available to join? since lil bitches like dibbun have a chance to join, so they can get their ass kicked!

Doesn't matter. A majority of NR's that join this site, either A: Have no clue what they are doing or B: Leave the site. So in a majority of games, most New Recruits deadbeat out of it, leaving a very experienced player on a map going against 1 maybe 2 people who have 0 knowledge of the map/game. Heck, a lot of times all the NR's deadbeat out of the game.
Ya but thats not his fualt
So you're saying it's fair that he rockets up the scoreboard all because all his opponents deadbeat?
I have rocketed up the scoreboard because I am good at the setting that I like to play!! I have beated PLENTY of competition from brigs to privates to NR players that actually play and actually some have beaten me.
