    Hello,

    You have been banned for Vote Abuse:

    Punishment: 14-day ban.

    Vote Abuse - The act of attempting to, or successfully, bypassing the restrictions of voting no more than once per 24 hours.

    You have been voting more than once per 24-hours on your accounts, which is against the MapleRoyals Terms and Conditions.

    Please be more mindful of your voting habits. If you vote abuse again, it will result in a permanent ban.

    i see, i have never experienced this issue before, if i vote more than once, the gtop100 site automatically says i voted more than once a day. also when i vote, it is always when the royals page states "It looks like you haven't voted yet today."

    is there a bug with the counter/checker in place allowing me to vote more than once a day? also, does that mean i was rewarded 2x 8000NX for voting twice?

    Do you vote on different IPs sometimes? Like sometimes at home, sometimes at your workplace, sometimes on a hotspot?

    i think so, 2 possible scenarios which i do:
    1) i sometimes vote on my laptop when im at home, otherwise on my phone (which is mobile data so different IP).
    2) i reset (switch off and on) my modem sometimes when it's slow, which generates a new IP.

    GMs don't have access to the voting logs, so based on what you said above, it is likely you accidentally voted on two of your accounts within the same 24-hour period. This is possible if you use different IPs to vote. The website only prevents the same IP from voting more than once. That is what lead to your ban.

    You, as a person, no matter how many accounts you have, can only gain 8,000NX per 24-hour period. One vote on one of your accounts. If there is more than one person in your household playing Royals, you either have to take turns voting or sign up for the Whitelist.
