    Default I see banned n00bs

    Is it just me or are people getting banned at a much faster rate than they used to? Discuss.

    Some of them might be second accounts though.

    It's like the time that 4 year old had a water pistol and they had to get the army in to take him down with M64 assault! Great times.

    Lately we've been dealing with about three people who keep trying to get around the system with multiple accounts, resulting in about a dozen bans in a pretty short period. The secondary accounts prettymuch all get spotted and banned within a few days of their registration, so maybe that's what you're seeing.

    Also, a possibly unusual amount of people who have been screwing around for a long time are getting into their final warning zone and then banned. They didn't start at the same time, but I guess as they spent time around one another, their cycles got synchronized. Like with the menses.

    We decided that people who are constantly stepping over the line are as much deserving of a ban as people who jump right over it.

    We're also keeping better record of the final warnings so that people aren't getting as many chances.

    The other mods didn't have enough bans under their belt compared to eestlinc. So yes, uhh, bad behavior.

    I'd have more if he weren't hogging all the second account bans

    (Note: this should not be interpreted to mean that eestlinc is indeed doing a majority or even any of the second account bans.)

    How do you figure out if its a second account?
