I recently moved and have purchased a wireless satellite service. I was given a shared IP and was wondering if that would get me banned or not? Any help is appreciated. I enjoy being on this forum and hope I can stay.
A friend of mine got banned, because DP thought he had duplicated accounts, when the other account was used by his colleague who works at the same office as him. So... is that not alloud?
It's each user's responsibility to alert us if they're aware of other DP members using their IP, especially if they're in business together as that would give us other reasons to tie them together as potential duplicates. If they choose not to give us that information up front as they're supposed to, then yes, they may end up banned for duplicate accounts.
He has a colleague who works with him, except usually their on different computers. But, one day she logged in to DP using his computer for the first time (without knowing this would happen), which caused him and her to get banned. (for duplicated accounts) Would it be possible to unban them? If I provide their usernames to yourself (or one of the mods / admins), because they clearly ain't done this intentionally. If they do get unbanned, I'd also apreciate it if you can stick this note in the staff forum, for future referance, to avoid this issue occuring again.
There are possibilities that they'll get unbanned, if they were banned only because of logging in with the same IP. But if they did Shilling etc then forget it. They won't be unbanned.
Then I guess they can be unbanned. You can send the Usernames to a Mod or Admin for investigation. After they investigate it and don't find anything fishy. They'll (hopefully) unban them. Thanks
