1. Account Sharing
________________________________________________________________________
If you have participated in account sharing prior to the return of moderation, I strongly suggest you STOP reading this blog, change your password immediately to secure your account, and then continue reading. If someone accesses your account because at some point in time you gave them your password, you are both committing a bannable offense.
In cases where we cannot discern who compromised your account, only the compromised account will receive the ban. Without full IP checking powers, and a green light from Randomize , we may not always be able to track down who actually accesses your account. Especially when some of you have confessed to having upwards of 3 to 6 people with the ability to log onto your accounts. CHANGE THE PASSWORD, CLEAR THE FUCKING CHATZY, AND MAKE SURE ONLY YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO LOG INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
@iigalaxyii Will receive a 3 day ban for account sharing.

2. Multis
________________________________________________________________________
We have not been given the full steam ahead sign by Carlos to begin mass banning for multis. However, in some instances we can see when clear multi usage is present. Like the case for @benp428 and his multi @TeeGrizzley. Ben will be receiving a 3 day ban and his multi will be permanently banned. @Mradamman12 Also admitted to having a multi @PigglyThomas. Adam will receive a 3 day ban, and the multi will receive a permanent ban.
WE MAY NOT ALWAYS BE ABLE TO VERIFY MULTI USAGE. I expect with our first initial banning of some multiple accounts, the floodgate of multi reports will open. Understand we are still waiting on Carlos to perfect his system. It will take a while to adequately ban the mass amount of multis. Please be patient with us, while we try to gather enough proof to reasonably make a ban, while we wait on IP checking powers, and while Brandonpinzu and CheapCheep and I balance our personal lives.
Fair warning. Ben was not the only well known multi user to receive reports. He was however, one we could verify beyond a shadow of a doubt. Some of you in my opinion, are obviously on multis, you are being watched, and I cannot wait to verify it, and issue some bans. Fair warning loves!
3. Red Noses
________________________________________________________________________
We are aware of the red nose system being in some cases to say bluntly janky. However, in most cases it does do a good job of identifying questionable activity. We are pushing this issue to Carlos the hardest, along with game rotation concerns. We see those as the biggest public requests that have been made. We are trying to make him aware of the flaws the system has with VPN's and different IP log in locations.
We can only provide more information when he updates us with some. We have literally no way of knowing why you got your red nose. Therefore, we cannot help you with them. If the system still remains flawed, then we will explore further methods with Carlos at this time.
We are sorry some of these decisions took so long. All people being banned here affected a game in one way or another, and their bans came after the fact. We wanted to make sure every moderator was in agreement before issuing a statement or a ban. That way when you choose to speak to one of us personally, you can be assured we are all on the same page. With our personal lives the way they are, please understand that sometimes our initial responses will vary. This should stop happening as we are further able to standardize the rules we will be enforcing.

I think you couldn't be more clear, on any of the points you have expressed.
You guys are doing great with the access you guys have to work with.
