Tip
Some players use VPNs and may unintentionally connect from public IP addresses previously used by banned users. In these cases, many linked accounts (10+) with only one banned often indicates a false positive rather than ban evasion.
A punishment for ban evading may be issued under the following circumstances:
-
I. Alternate accounts & same offence:
If a user already owns a banned account and their current one shows the same rule violation, a ban evasion ban may be applied. This is the simplest form of ban evading. -
II. Cheating on one account and immediately logging on an alt:
If a user is banned for cheating on one account and then logs on using an alternate account within 5–15 minutes, it is assumed that the cheats are still active. You are in the clear to ban them here. -
III. Severe punishments on main account:
If a user gets banned for major infractions (see list below), a ban evasion ban may also be issued. Severe violations include:- a. Administrative bans
- b. Major threats
- c. Doxxing threats
- d. Doxxing
-
IV. Repeatedly logging on alt accounts:
If a user is already banned for ban evasion, or repeatedly attempts to bypass their punishment by joining with multiple accounts, you may ban them for evading their original punishment. Some examples are:- a. User already having an active ban on their main account
- b. User continuously attempting to bypass their punishment by joining with multiple alts
