what it means is you can't create any more alts but it doesn't ban your accounts


hope that answers your questions monte i dunno if it was already answered or not

it's particularily effective when someone wants to troll

well trolls who don't know how to change ips lol

or are too lazy to, or are not familiar with the google.

Eh; forget about changing IPs just proxy; register; then remove proxy and log in.

:p

Banning people is impossible; I think it is more prudent to move towards a system of no bans; and instead have strong incentives not to cheat. For example; taking trophies / points away.

I do believe that banning someone actually hurts mods more then helping. Because it just makes the mods look kinda powerless. You ban someone and they are back playing / posting in 10 minutes tops.

If being caught cheating instantly wiped your career stats for all your alts and mains, cheating would be much less likely to happen.

I like deadcodes approach a lot but not for first time offences of course.

a punishment should fit the crime and should at least be a tool to change behavior for a player and serve as an example to the community

I've been lobbying for point edit rights for a while but it's understandable that Ryan is a bit hesitant to give this power.
