    I have not abused votes though..

    I voted only when I saw the You Can Vote on your website.
    I don't have any malicious intentions, and have not abused anything, i only voted when the timer reset and the website said I could.

    I support this game and even donated, I read the terms and conditions before opening this thread.

    I urge you to take another look, I have not abused voting, and am a positive supporter of this server.

    It seems very unfair to be treated this way..

    yes iBoga is my brother who recently also got back to playing (he is playing in a different house)

    I think the 2 other IGNs may be from an old account which i am currently trying to regain access to in a different thread. (these IGNs are on a different older account)

    I got back to playing and at the same time opened a new account and trying to regain access to old ones.

    Assuming this is gonna take some time (hopefully before the ban ends lol), may I at least vote each day or am I pushing it?
    I understand these things take time, i just don't want to feel like I'm missing a week of votes until this issue is resolved, being not able to access and play out of the blue is bad enough..

    Before you resume to vote, do you and your brother live in the same household

    If yes, have you guys applied for a voting whitelist?
    Or you guys are taking turns to vote?

    Clarifying your vote habits will help GMs to verify your ban of vote abuse

    umm yeah way in the past we played at the same household. (like few years ago)
    we are currently playing on a different households.
    I think he uses a pc that was previously registered on the old accounts.

    To clarify we are currently both playing on different pc's on a different household with new accounts. (we created them this week)

    Upon reviewing, I may be mistaken on this one, it may have been on maplesaga years ago.
    Its been a few years since then so i don't really remember the specifics.

    In the present we have not played in the same household. I am well aware of the rules regarding voting on the same household.

    Please wait for a GM or Admin to review the above.

    The questions asked earlier were to help me understand what may have triggered the vote abuse ban and to clarify your voting habits. As we do not have a clear answer yet, I cannot confirm that it would be safe for you to resume voting at this point.

    Until this is properly reviewed and clarified, I would advise against voting, as doing so may risk triggering another vote abuse, which would result in a permanent ban.

    Ok i guess i kinda expected that.

    I really do appreciate the help, hopefully i can get back playing before the ban ends.. was really looking forward playing maple again..

    I have no interest in taking shortcuts for voting, Im even supporting the game by donating as i really appreciate the work you guys do keeping this legendary game alive.

    Ill wait for my turn to get this resolved

    Hi,
    Just adding a lead which might help, is it possible somone who hacked my old accounts is playing there and votes and that might trigger the vote abuse?

    thanks for the help
