I've been banned from the abridged forums?
Okay, so something went on with my account.
I couldn't post or make threads. So I made an alt. I got banned for sockpuppetry. It will never lift. My computer won't let me log out either. I'm not being a sockpuppet. WTF Ads |

The use of multiple user accounts for an improper purpose is called sock puppetry (often abbreviated in discussion as socking). Improper purposes include attempts to deceive or mislead other editors, disrupt discussions, distort consensus, avoid sanctions, or otherwise violate community standards and policies. The term comes from sock puppet, In Internet terminology it is an online identity used for deception.
When you say "something went wrong with your account" could you have been banned for not following the rules. When you made the alt account, the admin would have seen the same ip address and permanently banned you for sockpuppetry. I would contact admin and try explaining in a nice way that you feel this was harsh and maybe they will give you another chance. Good luck Ads |
