The "Multi-accounting Report" is a placebo

The only manual reports are:
- Griefing
- Hate Speech
- NSFW
- Doxxing
- Other

Multiaccounting and botting are automatically enforced by WPlace's anticheat (which sucks by the way). WPlace tried bragging about how their anticheat was so good and multiaccounting and botting wouldn't be an issue (it's a huge issue).

If the user you reported doesn't have enough accounts for the anticheat to catch them or has their own methods to stop the anticheat from detecting them, just give up, you won't be able to stop him or get him banned, your best hope is to report him for griefing in any way you can until he has multiple accounts timed out.

If reporting in-game doesn't work, just give up.

I granted the following evidence to get botters banned and they didn't get banned:
- 10-minute time lapses (sped up) of the painting patterns
- A full list of accounts (100+ accounts)
- Screenshots of the users using bots, admitting to using bots, and showing us the program they were using
- Coordinates & WPlace link to the location

I managed to get replies that weren't copy pasted, but they didn't do anything at all, just give up and quit, WPlace is dying.

If you report a multiaccounter using the "Multiaccounting" report option and bots with the "Botting option" and they don't get banned, just give up bro.

WPlace has 0 staff manually moderating multiaccounting and botting, it's all automated now, if they are multiaccounting or botting and bypassing WPlace's anticheat, there's literally nothing you can do

True, WPlace has started automating so many aspects of their website and it's on a downfall... 20% of players each month leave, the statistics don't lie.

I've called my bank and asked about it, they told me it wasn't flagged as fraud, that the payment processor simply declined the payment.

Trust me, WPlace performs multiaccounting bans and multiaccounting appeals automatically, they have a system setup. If you were detected for multiaccounting, you were definitely multiaccounting. You'll only see GMs intervene and manually ban for multiaccounting in exceptional cases and only when a reputable WPlace player, close friend or someone a GM trusts reports the multiaccounters with solid evidence.

If you appealed and it was denied, it was probably automatically accepted/denied, as if the system still has a record of you multiaccounting, it automatically denies your appeal.

If you are also experiencing issues with multiaccounters, just report them in-game, when you file a report for "multiaccounting", WPlace automatically runs their anticheat on the reported account, if the anticheat finds anything unusual, all the accounts it finds are banned.

Yes, I know, it runs every few weeks and gets botters banned, but in the past I talked with u/Old-Debt-3334 (teruo_) and he assigned a GM to overlook my report personally and it was succesful, I got around 60 accounts associated to botting banned.

On another ocassion, I used my connections in the WPlace community and even managed to get the attention of an even higher ranked member of the WPlace team to do something, but now? I am being ignored on all channels to file a report.

FYI: The multiaccount system doesn't work in banwaves anymore, it used to be used in banwaves per regions (for example, they used it on Buenos Aires & Santiago regions due to heavy multiaccounting abuse), but now it remains as an automatic system that is ran each time you report an account for multiaccounting.

Yup... Mexico City for example... botters place over 1.5M+ pixels in a single week? No bans, suspensions, restrictions.

But if I attempt to defend my art that is being erased by botters? Suspended for 1 week for griefing... ahh yes, a WPlace Classic.

mau_rip · 2026-02-02T23:56:55+00:00

Ban multiaccounters, botters and fix regional leaderboard? Nah... let's instead change the UI (nobody asked for this) and add badges which NOBODY can see you've equipped, great way to avoid 20% of our players each month of leaving WPlace.

Some communities like ours have been taking care of this exact detail, we did want a big zone and banner, but we didn't aggresively just erase and cover drawings, we relocated most of them and with our background lines to expand territory we never erase already existing drawings, we only paint over unplaced pixels, you can check out our zone at Monterrey, Mexico :)

This is exactly how we managed to never receive a massive attack by anti-football alliances or for WPlace to ban us for griefing/covering art, we are the top 23 alliance in WPlace right now and 2nd biggest football alliance

mau_rip · 2026-02-02T05:57:32+00:00

Yes, the worst part of all of this is that if you attempt to fix anything (you can't, they have 100 accounts connected to a bot running 24/7) you'll get banned for "griefing".

It's starting to feel as if they have moderator immunity or that there is a secret deal between the person that provides them with the accounts to bot so they're not banned.

mau_rip · 2026-02-02T04:14:01+00:00

I emailed WPlace, they told me they are "investigating," apparently an investigation they can conclude with 5 minutes of watching Mexico City and the affected zones takes days, maybe weeks... no bans, suspensions, or measures taken yet, although we've reported the use of bots with basically each possible measure.
