Closed Ban Evading Question

It depends.

I will only speak for my own thinking process. This will not be an explanation for the entire staff team. Every staff member is given the permission to handle a situation in their own way.

It is hard to prove someone was not in collusion within the family. Also hard to prove someone is guilty just by association. Family who join with the same IP address show up as if they are alt accounts for each other.

If I already knew that Jack and Billy were siblings that played together, I probably would not ban Jack for something Billy did.

If I did not know Jack and Billy were from the same family, then I would probably ban Jack as an alt account of Billy. But Jack has the right to create an appeal and explain the situation. I would have to then double check log block to make sure Jack's account was not involved then unban him.

If I find that Jack's account was used in any part of Billy's scam, I would deny Jack's appeal. Each player is responsible for what happens with their game account. If Jack helped Billy willingly, Jack should stay banned. If Jack shared his account with Billy, then that effectively makes Jack's game account an Alt for Billy. Therefore Jack will stay banned.

This is just one example. For sure there are many other factors that may affect my final decision. I hope this answer brings some clarity.

I will not bring down the ban hammer just because. I will try to be fair to the player and be fair to our server and community.
