Hey Players!
Aardvark here, back from my time away with the tribe.
I noticed Mister mi7ch was fielding some questions in relations to last week's ban numbers, so here's a little additional detail for you folks.
While I'm not going to go into detail about our systems for identifying and removing problem accounts, I can verify that yes, we do review IP information. However this is by no means the only information we look at and decisions are made on a case-by-case basis after taking a variety of factors into account.
Because the privacy of account-related information is kind of a big deal, we don't discuss investigations with anyone other than the account's owner. However here are some common reasons why a reported player might not have been banned:
- We're still investigating this person
- A penalty other than a permanent ban has been applied
- They haven't actually broken any rules
Please be aware that this is GENERAL information, NOT directed at any particular person or case! Seriously. We get, like, bajillions of reports, so please don't assume this is about you and start yelling at us.
