    Actually it's not that many people being banned. xD Not compared to the number of users out there playing.

    Thanks for your sympathy though. My little brother, I know, voted up my stuff. I also voted up all his things, no matter what it was. But how do they draw the conclusion that we are abusing multiple accounts? I guess I can see room for suspicion, but not a full on ban! I don't know. I'm beginning to not care. I just don't like the idea that it is that easy and that my brother's upset when he gets home from school today.

    We reach the conclusion when there are spikes on the graph, and other account on the same IP. If the spike is sharp within a few seconds or minutes, like 5 votes in the same minute, then we get suspicious.

    5 votes on the same sim or different sims? Also, I don't understand how we got banned then... Explain further? ( I am a little slow)

    Also, we can see very easily when a single address has more than one account voting for a single save, and it's severely against the rules.

    @shroom207 I am plenty aware of the rules. I am sure, as my little brother and I only have select access to the internet, which doesn't include anything other than educational sites and pandora, that my mother and father would not have done this. So, I am at a dead end here. *scratches head* I don't even see how, as lockheedmartin suggested, any admin could be suspicious. Maybe another reason?

    @ Catelitte Although I cannot speak 100% for my parents, I can speak 99.9% for them. I highly highly doubt there was any abuse. I know that my parents have voted up my works. I don't know when or in what quantity. So where do we stand?

    Multiple votes from the same address that isn't explicitly a school or other similar address == Ban. It's not that complicated.
