    Yes the save is deleted, but did he save a stamp of it? That is the only way he can restart with it. If there is no stamp, then I have no clue.

    mistakes happen. mods cant be right 100% of the time. they WILL make mistakes and it may happen to you, but you just have to think "hey these guys are making something for me, and spend a lot of time trying to let me have fun." they are just trying to keep things fair and with the people that do this, or break any rules, you cant give second chances very often. or the problem will keep resurfacing. you just need to be careful and try to see it from the ,mods point of veiw. if you cant take them making mistakes, then you may want to consider stoppping publishing and voting. im sure lockheedmartin didnt mean to ban someone not trying to use multiple accounts unfairly. hes just doin his job here.

    i have a question, i know asking it may harm my accounts but im going to ask it anyway, Me, my brother, and my sister got banned for ballot stuffing, which is understandable because we all voted on eachothers saves, so i made another account (which is this one) and now cctvdude99 is saying that it is ban evading and i could get permabanned, i just want to know if this is a real rule and ilol get off of this account if it is.

    Im pretty sure it is. i think you should just wait out your ban until it is over

    When i got banned for a day i asked a mod if i could then i made a separate account but the only thing i used it for, as i told him, was managing pixel artists united. I also promised never to log on with it on the actual powder toy game and said it could be banned once the ban was over on my account.

    Let me explain the way this happens:
    Every single vote is logged, and accounts are networked on a map. When we see your IP we can see connections and accounts to that IP. Even votes are logged like this. Double votes can be seen with a simple link.
    What to do to prevent being banned:
    Make sure no one in your family votes for your saves. Not even once on your saves.

    Yeah, it's just the people who dont say they are the same person and vote for their own.

    And stop mentioning my name. Okay I'm mostly being held responsible for stuff because I actually respond a lot. I don't ban people or delete saves primarily for vote stuffing. It's like if I saw you and automatically said you're a noob who will spam and troll. Not all mods are strict and ban people for everything.
