Pretty sure that Azzer said several rounds back that auto-refreshing every 10min was acceptable, using standard browser software, but actual automation (ie, spy -> send attack) was not.

No.

He said that he has no problem with someone using an auto-refresh reasonably when they are sat at the computer simply to stop them from having to click every 5 mins or w/e.

BUT its not okay to use it when they are afk/sleeping (which is what i believe happened here) as a way to get their stats up - that is still against the rules (and pretty retarded tbh...)

"You may not access the Game or your Account through other software than standard browsers, wap phones and alike, nor may you use automated programs / bots / scripts to do so."

he did it to get the stat while he wasn't online = illegal

He also hasn't taken action against the people who were in top activity due to the refresher, although I doubt they were as blatant as IoF was with putting it in his activity.

Then again, he hasn't banned anyone for blatantly mutually attacking so can't blame for IoF for thinking he'd get away with it!

ofc not
Azzer explicitly said that doing it 'FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME' was allowed, so what you are saying makes to sense at all

punishments for these kinds of things have always been heavier than just taking away the reached goal lol

And there's me thinking they haven't existed. Not that I condone IoF's actions - seems like a pretty lame way to get a stat imo.

Public accusations and exploits:
11.1 - If you consider a player is cheating in the game or is harassing you in any way, do not make a public post about it, instead report them directly to Azzer via a forum PM or an in-game mail to ID 1.
11.2 - Exploits should be reported directly to Azzer. You can, however, report game bugs in the appropriate "Help & Support" forum.

or get weebles attention to poke azzer :)

I'd hate to think how many people would of been locked in the past if auto refresh wasn't allowed.

Cheese out.

If you break the rules you should be punished, it's pretty much as simple as that. Iof has been around long enough to know better than to use an auto refresher.
