There needs to be a better way of reporting farm in game so that a proper investigation can be made.

We can never know who is not a real player and who is real as we are not Supercell or the Owners of Said Farms.

Do not get yourself in trouble by Violating Name and Shame Prohibition.

Exactly.

ive been saying that for days.

At least send the pictures by email to supercell, or through the in game support or by pm here to someone.

Theres gotta be a way to make these things a little easier than literally everyone just speculating if someones a bot. It should be super cells main responsibility, not the customer.

Please disregard my previous post about a devious bot. I was confused and I apologize if I confused anyone.



Thank you matig for the correction. :)

Hello, Lynn. I think the explanation Sparkly was trying to communicate was: none of Lynswei's images were snapshots of her farm. They're all of the suspected bot farm. :)

Hopefully, this is not going to turn into a witch hunt based on wild speculations that can only hurt more innocent people!

And take it from me, it sucks to the utter most. Hopefully in 8 days my stupid ban is lifted.

Thank you. Yes.

When we are doing a task and visit another farm, the task icon as well as our money and diamond info stays on the same window.
So all that info is always ours. We can't know if a random farm we visit is doing a task or not.

I removed the pictures of the bot farms I shared here. It was never my intention to start a witch hunt, or play the name shame game, or violate the TOS. I hope the innocent who were banned will get their farms back soon.

Peace Out

I am guessing that SC might have something like an activity log of farms to see how long or how regularly people wheat, whether they shop or collect milk etc...how much actual farming they do besides wheating.

And just as SC becomes more proactive in banning them, wheat bot operators are getting more proactive about avoiding detection. Planting some apple trees, planting a few fields in a different crop, sell a few other products. Etc. etc.

So it's kind of a grey area for both players and SC. Unless SC does have something like an activity log.
Which is why I can see that some people feel they have been unfairly banned.

I eat wheat a lot too. Always have. I just love watching the wheat and the blue stars fly.
But I have at least 90% of my machines running, collect animal products regularly, fish at least once a day and visit my town at least once a day. Do a few boats, send them off immediately if I don't want to fill them. Do lots of truck orders.
I do enough farming activities that it wouldn't make sense to try to make money from expansion items, given the time I spend doing other farm stuff.

And no matter how much I wheat, I could never collect enough expansion materials to make enough actual money.

There may be other factors that SC looks at such as Achievements, or friend list, neighbours, who that farm is Following etc.

Hi, just curious, i am reading about bot farm and have no idea what they are... Can someone explain?

They are farms that are running using automated programs (robots, if you like) that are set up by players who are c.h.e.a.ting or groups of criminals who are trying to exploit the game to scam other players on unofficial sites or to profit by selling farms/tools etc. You do not need to give them a second thought if you are, like me, just a regular player, playing in the normal way, on a supported platform (ie a phone or tablet etc, not a PC/laptop etc) just downloaded through iTunes or GooglePlay without using any extra software to run your game or to do your farming for you.

:) Just play away happily and ignore all the bot talk.

Can anyone tell me if this is bot farm? I've seen that wheat pattern many times and it confuses me. Why would anyone (that is not a machine) plant wheat like that?
Animals are all hungry but not all in same spot in pens, 10/10 wheat in RSS. But there are also "normal" things on this farm like trees, bushes, usual name (not a number), global event gift, no unwrapped machines, etc.
