Common Questions:
Q: How can I find out what is bannable and not?
A: Yostar's Terms of Service can be found here.
Q: Is using an emulator a bannable offense?
A: No.
Q: Is using macros for farming a bannable offense?
A: Yes.
Q: Is having a second account (aka clue slave) a bannable offense?
A: Technically, yes, though personally I have doubts that they would ban you for a few extra accounts. Most likely their concerns are mass account creators who intend to sell. But keep in mind, it is technically bannable.
