When you get warned/suspended

And we used to have this thing called DEATHMATCH where two things were pitted against each other and whichever side got the most votes by the end of a 500 topic was the winner and you could vote as much as you wanted.

So some of us amassed a bunch of alts and then ran an account switching script so we could vote with all of them and get around the 2 minute posting restriction.

That's my reason. Not that I've been suspended/banned, but it never hurts to have backup.

I don't know if the moderation system still works this way, but it used to be that if someone did a serious enough ToS violation, then all accounts on their usermap would be banned. So, for instance, maybe you browse gamefaqs in the school computer lab, and then someone else posts porn from the lab, and then you both get banned. Because of that risk it's common for people to have a "home" account and a "away" account.

I remember a while back I posted in a topic that other people were flooding and I got suspended for it. tried to contest the moderation and it was upheld anyway. because apparently responding to discussion in a topic when other people start flooding it is grounds for suspension.
