Evading Punishment Policy Change (or, "Evading a ban = an even bigger ban.")

[Mayra]

How do you even prove that someone is bypassing a ban? .-.

 

[KiDD]

Ahhh. I don't always like change, but when I do, it has to do with punishments on MCGamer >: D

IP checks, amongst other methods.

What if the alt account that is banned or used to evade a ban is a shared alt account?

They have said that shared accounts will be banned regardless of who was using it at the time.

You can force a horse to the lake, but you can't force it to drink.

I like the idea, but due to how easy it is to get a new account and the evidence it will require to prove, that it is actually the same person, I don't think it would keep people from using alts to avoid bans.

This has been suggested sooooo many times, it's odd how all of these old suggestions made by members months ago are just now getting discussed.

Another point to bring up, will the staff even NOTIFY you if they think you are bypassing, or will you just get banned on both accounts?

Note to Col_StaR , please edit the rules, to prevent any arguing between staff and user.

IP checks and other simple investigations can prove that somebody is ban evading rather easily.

What if the alt account that is banned or used to evade a ban is a shared alt account?

Well seeing as sharing accounts in the first place is against the rules, we can see you run into issues quickly. The bans that occur to an account are for what the account does. If you share your account with somebody and they get it banned, it's your fault for giving them your account in the first place.

We are starting to get around to all of the suggestions that have compiled over the times due to the fact that we have a sliver more of free time as a result of the less hackers, and the fact that the initial 1.8 craziness is over. Regarding your second point, what would be the point of notifying you if they think you're bypassing? You either are or you aren't and this can be proven.
