Hey - today I was swich accounts by FAM and after I jump on my trader
I saw info "kicked out for multiboxing"
when I log out again - suddenly my ship has no guns...
So my question is - is not allowed anymore to use FAM?

It is allowed. though you should wait for ~3 minutes between F1 in space (which is bad too generally) and logging in.

You were only kicked because the first char you logged off was still in space when you logged the second hence a multi box flag came up, the timing between chars that f1 in space is 1 Minute precisely. If you log off the first char and log the second before a minute has passed on the first then you'll get this problem.
If your doing this to self-mine I suggest logging off the first char and wait 1:10 before logging the second to ensure you don't get kicked for multi boxing while your cargo is still safe in space. Any cargo jettisoned in space that is left for more than 2mins unattended will be wiped by server
At times when jettisoning cargo you'll see the its wiped instantly and you won't find it anywhere around anymore. Don't Panic. Consider it a server glitch and move on.
Using FAM doesn't count as multiboxing. Generally you just switched accounts and logged back in too fast for the server to disconnect you, so you need to wait a little bit longer to reconnect.
F1ing in space is allowed, but try to make sure you're far out of the way from any busy lanes or travelled areas.
Multiboxing is against the rules, but you're allowed to transfer items/equipment to yourself. Obviously you can't fly with yourself or anything like that.
all of you, can you use it? or it's just me who i can't?
without it's very annoying to transfer. i have already tried but it's too long, the npcs tractor your stuff(it's a risk) and the others but it's possible, but very difficult to do.
