An IP-banishment is a rare banishment. This is a security feature intended to prevent a single player from spreading links to hack sites. During the time of the banishment, nobody using the banished IP address can log into the game or post on the forum. This means that if you play on a shared network and another player on that network receives and IP-banishment, you and everyone else using that IP address will be unable to connect.
Only the player who received the original IP-banishment will receive a criminal record entry. After the banishment have passed, other accounts will be completely unaffected.
A player may not complain directly about an IP-banishment. However, the criminal record entry will be removed if the banishment that accompanied the IP-banishment is removed.
Note: CipSoft reserves the right to temporarily block whole IP-addresses if they see fit to do so.
