i personally know people who have been banned for 2boxing when it isnt the one persons fault.. when u trust a friend or guildy with your info because they need to use your toon for something -- they didnt know they would be boxed. in my honest opinion the person that wasnt boxing shouldn't be banned. (although his toon was used in boxing - it was not him that did the crime)
dont share info then

the point of this thread is not to discuss boxing, it's illegal on this server and that's been discussed many times over. rather it's a poll to see how the community would feel (as a new community) seeing as red99 is only 3-4 months old, if people that have been perma banned for this would receive one time leniency and be able to access their accounts again.

i dont think its unreasonable, i couldn't say how many people were affected by this, but with the current state of the pop any negative to our playerbase is bad. i say give them their shot, and watch them closely, if they're stupid enough to do it again, ban for life.

How would you feel if I gave someone a second chance for one of the following reasons:

"I knew it was against the rules but didn't realize you would PERMA BAN the accounts. I figured you'd just suspend me."

"I knew it was against the rules but i feel the punishment is too harsh."
How bouts you guys treat other violations like exploiting/hacking/general dickishness more like this and bring in a 2 box suspension to 1 month (or give the person the option as to which account they'd like perma banned) and a second violation be a perma ban.

I can understand why you guys crack down hard on it, just as I recognize that it's an easier thing to crack down on as oppose to all the subjective crap around hacking accusations and the usual PvP squabbling over training and other shit, but this is one of the least harmful violations any server can have.

Start working hard against the things that actually depopulate servers, the things that this distilled group of scum PvPers are infamous for or everything else will be window dressing.

VZTZ and every other PvP emu server I've played on didn't die because of two boxing, it died because of rampant hacking and people letting their competitive nature and penchant for griefing drive everyone else off the server, including themselves (once it was only them left), and create a general corrosive atmosphere that all but they can tolerate.

No mercy for them imo, agree.
