I have gotten to the point that I log in to chat with people I've come to know over the three years I've been playing this game. I rarely look at how much gold I have in any given city. If an extra billion showed up in the hours between my visits, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't notice. 
This has me very worried that someday I will try to log in and will not be able to because of some unknown infraction. I've come to love the Illy community, and would be heartbroken if that were to happen.

Good question, but I have no idea. Why don't a ton of players send me vast amounts of unsolicited gold and i'll get back with you on when I decide its appropriate to message the sender.

yes. except for the occasional glitch when you dont get a notification. Those are quite irritating. I have used notifcations to prove to other alliances a trade history before.

Under notifications... there is a way to NOTICE things incoming into to your city (s), I look there to see what has happened since I haven't been online. Usually I investigate who came to my city and why. Notifications cover all your cities, am I right?

Unfortunately you are responsible for the actions of your sitters, and your sitters can get you banned. Choose your sitters wisely.

perhaps if they were being sat and the person sitting them was a cheat--- then I may say they may not have noticed.

I quite agree, under normal circumstances, that is reasonable, but there is that room for doubt...just say the city in question has vans inbound, constantly and a gold reserve in the billions...what if a billion gold appears and the total goes from, say, 4.6 billion to 5.6 billion...would it be that far fetched that someone not paying too much attention not notice?

I would question any random gold turning up in my cities, if I had noted it - purely because of my RL job

But the figures being 'quoted' I'd note, as I don't keep a lot of gold in my cities
