Pacman Cheaters! Going To Have To Try Harder Now!
Anything put online ...
.. will eventually get attacked or abused. Especially if its something cool or fun!
Seems that a few users, @kwonn and @truthism, or are they the same user, have decided it would be super profitable for them to try and bleed a free game dry of its measly Steem holdings. I wonder if they actually wrote a script to try to scalp payments or if they are full time playing Pacman, nonstop. (I want to imagine it is the latter)
I wanted to test to see if I could allow unlimited daily payouts, but it seems that I will have to leave the restricted at a maximum of 0.100 Steem per 24 hours. This will not effect 95% of the users that have been playing Pacman, however, it should thwart the abuse of the payouts.
If users want to pay for multiple accounts so they can abuse the max payout, so be it.
If users want to write a script to send payouts to random people so they can drain the payout fund, so be it.
Either way, you WILL have to work a little harder now.
