[QUOTE="Magi_Trelian, post: 3057624, member: 36591"] This depends on whether it's an initial banning or an IP banning. In a general sense, it's both character tracking and IP tracking. Everytime we warn someone, we record both IP address and character name. If a player has had at least three warnings and is given the initial ban, they lose all existing characters that are known to be played by them. It doesn't matter if they're on different IP addresses or if someone else was also playing those characters. However, the player is allowed to bring back totally new characters even if using any of the tracked IP addresses. Unfortunately, other people that might have played those characters also have to create new characters. If the player has even more warnings, they can get an IP ban. This means that any IP address recorded for any character ever played by them, might be banned. If we have reason to believe the offenses are linked to a single IP address, we start there. If we find that the player had been or is still accessing ISRP using other IP addresses, those get included and become part of the ban. And no new characters can come in over those IP addresses until the ban is lifted. As for lying, it's possible that people can be mistaken either in the use of the computer or the timing, so that they thought it was used only prior to the ban instead of after. But I have asked that we not discuss specific cases here, so please don't comment so specifically on the closed thread. There's a reason it was closed. [/QUOTE]
