    Last thing you did: Leeching my Hermit / wife's I/L at Ulu2 on my bishop.
    Why do you think you got banned?: "Vote Abusing"
    Ban message when attempting to log in: Your account has been temporarily banned for vote abusing. Details: Katsuruka temporarily banned rejuvenate
    What GM banned you (optional): Katsuruka

    PS: I had not applied for the whitelist yet, because Stef wanted to until she looked good for the picture. :\
    PSS: My wife and I both play on this server and voted on 2 separate accounts. Applied for whitelist after this event.

    Your ban was for vote abuse during October, and the rule change which included the whitelist did not happen until 1st November. I will take a look at your whitelist application shortly, but please be aware that you you did actually break the rules by not taking it in turns to vote during October, and that if you are accepted on the whitelist, it won't affect your current ban.

    Thanks for your answer, Kat! I do have one more thing I would like to add, per my wifeys request. Though I understand the reason behind the ban, we wanted to see if it will be a problem down in the future to do what we were doing.
    My wife has a server for personal use at her job, and we would remote desktop to it to vote from there on her account (might have been a different account too at some point). So even though we'd play on the same IP, we'd use different ones to vote. My question would be then, is this bad? Will this be a problem down the line? The server is in the same city, though an entirely different location from us. I can offer more information if you wish, but I was curious about this scenario.

    Thanks again.

    Your wife - or you - could vote from a 3G/4G mobile phone, if that would be easier.
