Is 'store jumping' allowed or not? And if so, why?

I have no clue if its allowed since its technically bug abusing since you cant open a store normally, and if its allowed, whats the reasoning having it allowed?

 

Store jumping as far as I know can no longer be done as Kevin implemented code to prevent it from happening.

 

without jumping

with jumping

edit : These SS were taken 3 hours ago if it makes any difference.

Also This:



Those stores should be closed since they won't allow the person who opened the first store to re set their store once the 24 hours are up.

 

Pretty much the sole reason why I made the thread. Opening stores like these (without 2 people opening at the same time) are abuseing a bug which makes them able to put up the store. But when someone has evidence of the abuser doing this to their own store, they dont get any punishment other than their shop getting closed. This doesnt discourage them for keep doing this, since eventually they can 'force' themselves a spot and win themselves a spot.

 

Yea this has happened to me today, I finally got a fm 1 spot and when I come back from class I found that.

This is how the stores were when I left to class:



And you've seen the other screenshot already v.v

 

It seems the first one was closed, yet there's a new store there already



That's why it should be punishable to do this kind of thing while the code still allows it.

 

RIP in peace store spot. Much rip.


I just want to give you some tips to ensure that won't happen.
So if you want to open a store at the end/front, basically you have to make sure there's no space for them to glitch.


You see here, you left some space here, thus it happens.
There's this few pixel of invisible platform almost everywhere (and plus buggy coding).

What you wanna do is make sure you stand in the correct area within your store space line (it's hard to explain T_T)

You might as well use up all that space there. Lesser chance of getting glitch-ed! And, be fast! (especially since it's FM1 too)
So that the person on the right of you can see his borderline properly and not ending up making a terrible jump glitch gap.
(Same thing applies if you are on the front of the line)

EDIT:
Also if you feel like sharing,

You can do that, and make up more space for the people on the right side.

 

Although there is some douche-ry happening here, you can actually reopen your store.
(It looks very likely that you can.)

 

Yup, I was able to re-open my store. The only reason why I'm posting it here is because it's relevant to the thread.
