[QUOTE="Magi_Siani, post: 3048523, member: 34597"] Strikes, yes. That is, warnings. If you get warnings or you've lost a character but have nothing further for 6 months, we start you from scratch, clean slate. IP bans were something else and always were permanent. I tried on one occasion, with another WizO, to get Wizards to hear appeals on them, but they wouldn't hear of it. These types of bans come about because a person or people simply will not heed the warnings and reminders of the Magi and continuously flaunt the rules and ignore all requests to cease and desist. Often with a great deal of attitude and snickering via PMs to their friends about how we stupidly listen to their excuses. We just treat everyone the same, give everyone the same chances, unless they clearly demonstrate they simply cannot be given such consideration. The 6 month appeal here was written in because we thought everyone should have a chance to have their case heard and maybe show us that they could indeed play within the rules. This appeal is only given once however. Someone who manages to get back on site via appeal and then gets banned again isn't given another chance. As a further note, we don't hunt the logs looking for infractions. If we did there'd be a whole lot more warnings and bannings.
