Our community has decreased by 20 players today. A group playing from the same IP address in the UK had been on thin ice for a few weeks. Several of these players had already been mail-banned for various reasons, and a few had been placed in Federal Jail.
Today these accounts have been deleted, and the offending IP address has been blocked from our servers. One of the players thought it would be clever to post profanities in the forums with a new account, which prompted our actions.
This unacceptable behavior has also ruined the fun for one unfortunate player who seemed to add something to our community. This player can still access our game, but not from the IP he had been using previously.
By chance, the account in good standing did not use a valid email address. So I cannot contact this player to let them know they can still play from another location. |
