THE PAYBAN SYSTEM
After collecting pay, you MUST stay at least 45 minutes after pay is over to not get paybanned. The pay is finished only after the payer announces ‘payover’. For example, if pay finished at :05, you must stay til :50 to avoid payban. You are NOT allowed to ask when pay ban is over and MUST keep track of it yourself. If you have claimed a promotion over pay or have been given a promotion due to not having a trading pass, this constitutes as pay!
