Character names: imcanje, imcanie, canje Last thing you did: Voted on imcanje, then voted on imcanie Why do you think you got banned: Voted twice on separate accounts in a 24 hour period. Ban Message: Your account has been blocked for violating the game policy What GM banned you: not sure Hi, I just started playing Mapleroyals around 3 weeks ago. Love the game and love the fairness of the rules. I recently created a mule account to store my extra things: imcanie, and a couple days later decided to make another character to make mesos (bishop). I acknowledge that ignorance of the rule does not excuse my actions, but after reading the vote abuse rule, I assumed that it regarded to trying to vote twice in the same account by using a vpn or any other illegal programs that would allow you to do so. I then voted one time on my newly formed mage to get a pet to make life easier. (your guys' ban system is instant lol) Vote Abuse - The act of attempting to, or successfully, bypassing the restrictions of voting no more than once per day (UTC). Please be aware that, in cases of severe abuse as per discretion of Staff, we reserve the right to respond with a permanent ban regardless of if it is your first offense. In no way did I use any NX to send things to my main or had any malicious intent. I accept the ban, but can I plead to shorten the length of the ban if I no longer vote on my new account? Tbh, I just love the game and community and want to get back. Please let me know if this is possible. Thank you staff and thank you for your hard work!
Hello, You are correct. You were banned for Vote Abuse: Spoiler: MapleRoyals ToS Moderate Infractions: Minor Vote Abuse Punishment: 14-day ban.

Can the ban duration be shortened? It was a one time thing and I interpreted the rules incorrectly. Asking for the benefit of the doubt. Thank you for responding.
Hello, the ban duration for vote abuse is only either 14 days or permanent, hence we are unable to shorten the ban duration https://royals.ms/forum/threads/mapleroyals-game-terms-conditions.86769/ We would strongly recommend you to review the rules about voting again https://royals.ms/forum/threads/voting-rules.15580/
Ahh I never saw that page about the extensive write up of voting. I only read the TOS. I wish I wouldve seen that earlier T-T
