SpiritVale Fair Play Update: Official Enforcement Summary
SpiritVale's August 15, 2026 Fair Play Update reports enforcement activity from July 15 through the date of that announcement. It separates the reported totals for unauthorized programs or macros, real-money trading (RMT), and Rules of Conduct cases, and reminds players to report suspicious activity through the in-game reporting system.
What the official update reports
The announcement says 4,992 accounts were removed between July 15 and the publication date. It lists 3,821 permanent bans for unauthorized programs and macros, 1,106 permanent bans for RMT, and 65 bans for Rules of Conduct. These are the developer's time-bounded aggregate figures from that post, not live totals that this guide can update on its own.
Use the current reporting route
The post asks players to report suspicious activity through the in-game reporting system and points readers to the Safe and Fair Play Policy and rules in the official Discord. The 0.30.11 update also lists right-click chat reporting. Use the current in-game interface and official rules when making a report, because UI labels and policy links can change.
What this announcement does not establish
The update does not disclose detection methods, publish a player-specific ban reason, promise an appeal outcome, or make a community accusation reliable. Do not treat an aggregate enforcement post as proof about a named account. Preserve the relevant time, server, activity, and any allowed evidence, then use the current official reporting or support route.
Keep patch context separate
The August 5 and August 10 updates documented player-reporting interface and system changes. Read this Fair Play Update as an enforcement summary, not as a replacement for those patch notes or a claim that every report has the same outcome.
