I am very confused today, I logged in and went to check my side accounts, ALL OF THEM WERE GAGGED! Some of them I haven't even gone into the chat on! please help me to understand this.
I know it wasn't because I could make a new account and :D hey Percy, you probably wouldn't remember me but one of the gagged accounts was called "Tyhker"
It sounds like someone with administration capabilities ran your IP and banned each one by hand. I don't expect it to be a long time before this one of yours is banned to. Banning full IP's from making new accounts can inadvertantly prevent innocent people with similar IPs to be incapable of making accounts as well. So it is rarely done, and instead, done by hand. Understand that the staff of this site doesn't ban/gag for you to make another account. That is undermining their authority. It's like being told not to do something by a parent, being grounded and then sneaking out of the house afterward. Especially posting it here and complaining about being gagged, that's just pushing their buttons. If you're gagged and you make a new account. Keep your mouth shut and keep it to yourself. Learn from your mistakes and don't do it again.
From what I can see this site is stricked and it has been getting out of control a bit, but no one wants to admit it. Multiple accounts are not really allowed on this site but it really isn't much of a big issue unless you used on of your acconts to troll or upset a Mod. I would say more but if I upset a Mod than I will be banned for hurting their feelings.
Just keep your mouth shut and don't expect them to tell you what you have done wrong. It is almost an always chance that they will ban that account as well than give you the answer.
I really think people have the wrong idea about the Mods. If you are genuinely confused as to why a gag happened, I think you should be able to mail the mod (that you think was the one to gag you) and ask for an explanation. Notice I said ask, not demand. There's a difference. I generally tend to send an explanation when it occurs, and am willing to explain the rules to someone if they need it. No, they aren't going to get banned for asking a question. There's also a difference between asking a moderator nicely through mail, and bringing up the gag in the chatter/forum. It's been established that no gag-talk is allowed in the chatter, and a member can get in trouble for bringing it up there. I recommend not writing of it in the forum either. It's much simpler to mail.
Also, upsetting a moderator has nothing to do with gags or bans. Clearly you get gagged or in trouble when you break the rules. Mods personal opinions of members has nothing to do with this, and we strive to keep our interests out of our moderating around here. You don't have to watch everything you say, or limit what you say, on our behalf. However, the rules should be followed. And it is our job to enforce that they are. I don't think the rules are strict, or even that hard to follow, honestly.
Well Percy. That is correct, however, the mods do not always have the answer to why you were gagged. If Petrarca gags you the mods will not know anything. Trust me. I know.
