what happens when someone is busted?

[Blind Date]

Are they banned?

What about opponents they have played and have taken points away?

[HotShot53]

It appears that when a multi is busted, the second account can't join any more games, and the first account has to be premium to continue joining games... a second offense for a premium account will eliminate its premium status...

But for games they are currently in or previously played, nothing happens.

/at least, that's what I've been told....

So..I become a Premium and set up multis.. pad my score..and when I get caught....Tuck my tail and sheepishly say gosh ...I'm sorry but I'm a ( fill in the new rank).

I'm new to this site and very impressed ...cant understand how they missed the logic in that penalty???

[s.xkitten]

uuh, you get caught twice as a premium, you get stripped of your premium status and banned...if you is a non premium, you have to buy the premium membership to get back in

or if sign up your roomate and NEVER once play in a singles game with him and announce that that is what u did 2 months later they will cancel his acount with no explanation .

2 find out if ppl r multis they need 2 find out the player's IP address right? & isnt it illegal 2 get other ppl's IP address without the government's consent?

[SirSebstar]

Wow! Where'd you come up with that! Exactly which "government" is in charge of the internet?

The U.S. government, sort of! Well, actually, ICANN, which is in the U.S. so the U.S. government could if it decided to, influence ICANN.

Well, they manage the DNS system, but hardly the internet as a whole. But I get your point!

Um, when you log onto CC, your IP address is in the server log. If your computer didn\\\'t sent it to the server, the server wouldn\\\'t know where to send the web page.

That\\\'s why I thought the whole IP check thing was automated. A simple script could provide automatic warnings when two people log in from the same IP.


It\'s only illegal in the US if you go LOOKING for someones IP. If you own/control the server that people log onto, there\'s nothing illegal about seeing their IP.
