way to go by the rules. he DID admit to making another account. it WAS an accident. even though the ban isn't too long he still shouldn't get the full 16 days because he did come forward. he did not know you had already found out he had a second account. bullexcrement committee.
# Admitted registration of multiple accounts = 8 day ban
# Accidental registration of multiple accounts = warning
he admitted it, and also stated it was an accident. so why does he get 16 days? don't make up rules and/or punishments if you are not going to follow them.
The Committee doesn't believe it was an accident, refer to my post above. As for admitting it, admitting to it after we have discovered the fact does not grant you redemption, neither does it grant you an 8 day ban. We
are following the rules we have set out.
No idea why anyone thought to start the committee off with a witch-hunt for multiple accounts would be the best course of action. Not really the best way to win over everyone's trust. Maybe it could have been started by settling some name disputes or coming up with a couple forum/server/account policies...
Witch hunt? We do not sit around thinking of players names to check for multiple accounts. We do however follow leads, that is for instance, people informing us of a suspicious account accompanied with a good reason.
As for your suggestion to start off with different issues, why should we dismiss part of what we were set up for to try to "gain trust" falsely? We do deal with each and every issue that we can, we do not just deal with multiple accounts issues. Surely the best way to gain trust is to treat each issue that arises equally as we have been doing?
I'd also like to say that we are happy for people to comment on our decisions, thats one reason why these ban threads are made, and not simply put on the ban list. We do not want to make poor decisions, and
if we do, we are glad to know that Community will let us know of it. But this is a two way relationship, issues need to be discussed that are worthy to, and have a reason to be discussed.
