Character Name: Pacific Last thing you did: Vote Abuse Why do you think you got banned?: I was banned for heavy vote abuse, which violated the terms and conditions. Ban message when attempting to log in: Your account has been temporarily banned for vote abusing. What GM banned you (optional): @Dustin I received a temporary 5 year ban on the accounts used. The current terms state that vote abusers have 3 strikes before a permanent ban, the first and second being a 7 day and a 14 day ban. I understand that the terms and conditions at the time were different and what I did was wrong and unfair to the whole Royals community. It's been a little over a year since the ban and I have no intention of ever abusing the vote system again. Would it be possible to lift the ban on the account with "Pacific" on it?
No, that would not be possible. You violated the rules full well knowing the penalty that comes with it.
If the ban message stated 'heavy vote abuse' that means you were voting on many different accounts, which always resulted in a permanent ban.
The message stated that it was a temporary ban of 5 years and I was asking if it could be reduced to 1 year. The ban message didn't say permanent, which is why I asked.
The ban message should have read as permanent. The punishment for heavy vote abuse is permanent, not 1 year.
