Not an alt and I stick by that. I'm not Frank Reynolds and I don't use his computer to game.
I'll admit it; I did try to bypass the ban. When struck with perma-ban for an offence (f-slur) I don't believe I committed, I gave it a shot. And from what I gather on this forum it's basically what everyone else who gets such a severe ban tried.
Now I can repent for the profanity, if I did as such. But if you want fewer people playing this game because they failed at skirting your ban, thats your choice. My suggestion for player retention would be a week or two ban for profanity like most games. Then they wouldn't feel the need to try to get onto their game via the only active server. They'd just bite the two week ban and learn a lesson, come back, and be more productive community members.
