Warning/Suspension Messages in Mafia Wars

Found on the Customer Support page ~ this sounds like a scare tactic to me. I ain't skeered! No, really, I'm not, and I doubt you should be worried either. I can't wait to hear all the skeered people and the new rounds of rumors this is going to cause *sigh*. It's pretty simple. Zynga doesn't want you manipulating the system to get yourself extra reward points--they get pissy when you don't pay for stuff like that, and that's sort of understandable. They don't care about most of the scripts out there; there's just too many complications that would come with endorsing third party scripts and applications.

Hello Mafia players,

The Mafia Wars Team has put in place a system to help us detect automatic game play and some accounts have received a warning message. Please remember that irregular activities can include, but are not limited to:

- High-frequency activity that is beyond humanly possible means
- High-frequency activity that serves no in-game benefit
- Attempts to repeatedly access links not promoted by Zynga
- Attempts to access/manipulate your account through other means to give yourself an advantage, or to the detriment of the experience of other players
- Unauthenticated acceleration in statistics, points or items

We strongly advise to avoid using any automation software or unauthorized third-party program designed to modify or interfere with the game. Please notice that Customer Support agents are not authorized to lift suspensions.  For further information, we encourage to check the following article Suspension FAQ.

Thanks,
The Mafia Wars Team
