Account Freezing Rules

Detailed Explanation of Account Freezing Rules

To ensure the fairness and security of the WORLD3 platform and prevent the abuse of bots and Sybil accounts, the platform will take freezing measures against the following types of accounts:

1. Accounts with Identical IP Addresses

• Rule Explanation: If multiple accounts register or operate using the exact same IP address, these accounts will be considered highly associated. Such behavior typically indicates that these accounts may be controlled by the same entity, posing risks of Sybil attacks or bulk bot registrations.

• Freezing Measures: For accounts confirmed to share the same IP address, the platform will take the following actions:

  • Label them as "Highly Associated Accounts";

  • Restrict part or all of the account's functionalities;

  • Permanently freeze accounts confirmed to be in violation.

• Exceptions: If users can provide reasonable proof (e.g., legitimate reasons such as using public networks or shared IP addresses), the platform will re-evaluate the account status and may lift the freeze accordingly.

1. Accounts with Similar Email Addresses

• Rule Explanation: If multiple accounts register using highly similar email addresses (e.g., [e-mail], [e-mail], [e-mail]), these accounts will be considered at risk of coordinated operations. Such behavior typically indicates that these accounts may have been created in bulk by the same entity, attempting to bypass the platform's registration restrictions.

• Freezing Measures: For accounts registered with similar email addresses, the platform will take the following actions:

  • Label them as "Suspicious Accounts";

  • Restrict part or all of the account's functionalities;

  • Permanently freeze accounts confirmed to be in violation.

• Exceptions: If users can prove that the similarity in email addresses is legitimate (e.g., registrations by enterprise or team members), the platform will re-evaluate the account status and lift the freeze accordingly.

Freezing Process and User Rights

1. Freezing Notification: When an account is frozen, the user will receive a notification email explaining the reason and basis for the freeze.

2. Dispute: Users may submit an appeal via [e-mail] or in the Discord feedback section, providing relevant supporting documents. If a dispute is not submitted within 72 hours after receiving the email, it will be considered acceptance of the freezing, and any disputes submitted afterward will be ignored.

3. Review and Unfreezing: The platform will conduct a manual review upon receiving the appeal and decide whether to unfreeze the account based on the review results.

User Responsibilities

Users must ensure that their registration information is authentic, valid, and complies with the platform's relevant regulations. Any attempt to bypass platform rules using identical IP addresses or similar email addresses will be considered a violation.

Rule Updates

To stay ahead of evolving security threats, the WORLD3 platform will implement the following measures:

1. Continuous Rule Updates The platform will regularly refine its freezing rules and detection mechanisms to address new forms of abuse and emerging technical threats, ensuring a fair and secure environment.

2. Regular and Ad-Hoc Reviews The platform will conduct both scheduled and unscheduled account reviews, monitoring factors such as IP addresses, email addresses, and on-chain activities to detect and prevent potential violations.
