Hello,
As I am sure most of you know by now, recently the use of alternate accounts to obtain information or resources by sneaking into enemied factions is now illegal. Although I see the logic behind it, I do think spies add another dimension to wars, even though the act of using spies is generally frowned upon by the community. What I would like to suggest is that using alt account spies is legal only if the faction the spy is from has an approved war declaration on the faction being infiltrated. This way it spy warfare into the factions world without having the risk of randomly being infiltrated, as if you are not at war, you are safe. If someone does declare war on you, you could then take the necessary precautions to essentially spy-proof your base, making this suggestion really only work on those too foolish enough to know how to spy proof their faction. The following rules regarding alt spies are what I think would work nicely;
Alt spies would be allowed to do the following:
Punishment for breaking any of the above rules would result in whatever the current punishment for using alt spies with the existing rules is.
Please leave ideas, comments, and criticism below.

Alt spies would be allowed to do the following:
- Infiltrate factions that are at war with them, meaning a war declaration is already approved
- Steal information in faction chat
- Steal portal combos
- Open doors or create an entrance as defined by existing rules (2-4 blocks)
- Steal items out of open containers
- Steal up to 1/2 of the faction bank money, maxing out at 5000 Regals
- Steal valuable blocks that are already placed
- Break more than 2-4 blocks to create an entryway
- Steal more than the above amount from the faction bank
- Change faction perms (Assuming they get officer and the leader has officer edit perms on)
- Private doors/blocks in the enemy faction
Punishment for breaking any of the above rules would result in whatever the current punishment for using alt spies with the existing rules is.
