Quote:5.5 Connecting to the server with more than one character at a time (Multiboxing). Players who share a network connection and play together must not engage in trading/mining while doing so.
Consequences: Banned until you post here.
I found not one but three connections from your IP. One of them was from a computer with only a Kamome on it, and nothing else, seemingly created just for GMG|GTS-Akihabra.
If you require evidence, you may request such via PM from a Staff member. Only the accused or an official faction leader of the accused person's faction may request such. Once you have the evidence, and if you wish to dispute it, you may post in the Sanction Thread below. Do not continue PM'ing a staff member, as that will result in your Appeal being denied. If you PM a staff or post in the sanction thread and you are not directly involved, you are consenting to be subjected to the reprisal of my choice which may involve in game repercussions up to a ban. Blaming members of your immediate family, neighbors, friends, pets, and assorted Orcs, Trolls and any other legendary creatures may result in the use of Admin Right #CTE 750AE

I think you have misunderstood the rule. Re-read it more carefully.

Edit Reason: correcting statement and discussing my disagreement
)
from my understanding, if others play on my network IP they may not participate in say, helping me to mine or trade. If they do play on my IP, they must use their own ships and not fly ships with the GMG tag if someone else is. I had created that account for my brother and renamed it according to GMG naming standards. Because it was just this ship, it appears as though I am also flying it, because there are no other characters registered on the account. So from what I understand, if my brother wants to play on the server he may not use a ship to assist me in mining or trading, and must use his own ship and participate in his own actions separate from mine. If that is not correct, please explain it so i can understand it better so I don't make the same mistake.
EDIT: I would just like to say i feel that a ban is unjustified because I am a very new player and didn't realize there were subsections to the original rule. It appears as though other players have been sanctioned or bastilled for first time offences but I have only been playing for 3 days or so, and my first offense immediately leads me to a ban. Whereas other players who have broken multiple rules at one time rather than just one received a lighter punishment. I understand that people will make mistakes and rules will be broken and must accept the consequences, but this seems quite harsh for a 3-day player. I would like to know why I was banned, rather than sanctioned or something and questioned about my actions. Instead of "Why did you do this? do you understand why you are being sanctioned/bastilled/etc"?
I just get immediately banned. I would just like to know why such a large punishment was used on a 3-day old player. I understand that it said I was banned until I replied but it appears as though others have been bastilled and notified, rather than banned. Since I didn't fully understand the rule and I accept that I should have read it more thoroughly and paid closer attention. And in all due respect, it takes a while to reply sometimes and I would just like to mention my intention after the restart was to pay my corp my tax and go to bed. I hope that we can understand each other better and get this worked out fairly and maturely, and hopefully avoid this in the future lol
I'm exhausted and need to sleep the 5 hours or so I have left until work. I assume you're busy with some other stuff since there wasn't another quick reply. I will revisit in the morning and hopefully we can come to an understanding. In the meantime, Good night and fly safe

I talked to my GM and she explained it.
I promise I will not let other users fly with the GMG tag if they are not within the GMG corporation. I also promise that they will not be allowed to assist in transportation or mining if I am doing it. I learn from my mistakes.
