Character Name: tontedpls (I think this is it? I'm honestly not sure. I know it was an Outlaw or Corsair) Last thing you did: I don't think I've been on this account in literal years. Like potentially since 2017. I may have logged into it at some point in 2022/2023? The last thing I remember was being in that weird chocolate jump quest but that could be a fever dream Why do you think you got banned?: Absolutely no idea, I haven't played in years. I know the account still exists because when I log in to the website I can still see my donor points and NX Ban message when attempting to log in: ID has been deleted or blocked from connection What GM banned you (optional): No idea I was looking over my old stuff and I have a guess as to what happened. Another one of my accounts was hacked and sold during my (extended) period of inactivity. Maybe the same thing happened to this one? See this thread for reference
Oops just checked the account in the thread I linked to and it's also banned. I imagine the same thing happened to it again. That's probably on me for being stupid and reusing passwords back then. No free ads, but I use bitwarden now with unique passwords for everything so at least I've learned from that mistake.
Unfortunately, only admins can view the link you posted, so I have not been able to see what it is. Also, your account with 'Tainted' has been banned while we're sorting out your ban appeal, as bans apply to people rather than accounts. I've been able to determine that you own the characters 'Entei', 'TaintedBish', 'Tonted', and 'Stressful'. Do you know this person here, who mentioned Entei as being theirs? https://royals.ms/forum/threads/the-anonymous-beowulf.210771/
Ok that's totally fine. Those all sound like the right characters. I have no idea who that is, just looking at that thread I'm sure it's someone who bought one of my accounts when it was hacked. I know you can't see that thread, but I will provide some other evidence that predates that person's ban appeal indicating I own Entei dating as far back as 2014: Community Name selling & Buying thread | MapleRoyals Community Name selling & Buying thread | Page 2 | MapleRoyals Closed - B> HP Washing Gear | MapleRoyals All good things must come to an end | Page 2 | MapleRoyals Open - Tainted makes a shop (Rare chair, equips, scrolls) | MapleRoyals Not Recruiting - Synergy | Page 15 | MapleRoyals
I see, so the account with Entei was hacked, sold, and banned a few years ago, and then you got it back again after making a support request? And then at some point after that, the thread I linked to was made, and it seems that this might have been the person who bought (or sold) the account who made that thread? I'll get an admin to look into this, but in the mean time can you please confirm that I understood correctly?
Yes I believe that's correct - after I got it unbanned I got busy with some other things and never really started to use it. I'm not sure if the other person was trying to get it unbanned or if it was hacked again after that. I didn't have great password security back then so it's possible it was compromised a second time.
