I personally think the system still needs to be refined. I was banned because my brother was banned and we share a computer giving me a lovekly message from the soul about Alt accounts, this was back at the end of Jan. Because of this short ban I lost my Heroic Member status without having done anything wrong, the ban was reduced to one day by Recon Number 54 and yet that one day ban has kept the title stripped for just over a month. I got the title on New Years Day (before it became easier to have a member title), lost it less than a month later, how can a small ban have so much influence and not be made up with continuous good behavior a month later especially when it has become easier to become a Heroic, Legendary and mythic member (which went from 13 people to 200!)?[/quote] You are your brother's keeper. Seriously. Literally. Tons of people have the it was my little brother story. I am sure that you have heard it before many times. All the more reason that, even if it was your little brother, and you had no knowledge of his account, you should make sure that he does not do anything to get banned. Take it as an opertunity to take responsibility of your surroundings. There may be no legal basis for you to be punished if your brother committed a crime but there is a basis for you to be banned here 1) Your little brother may not exist (it could be you) 2) You may have participated in the wrong doings of your little brother 3) Your little brother lives in an environment where where it was ok to violate rules. Either you live in the same environment or you created this environment if you are the little brothers guardian Explain to your little brother how wrong it was and how much you have to go through because of his actions. The title change only shows that you were not 100% responsible in your computers environment. It is just a title and an acruate one in my opinion. BUCKLERockstaR [Edited on 05.07.2008 12:37 PM PDT]
