I have recently noticed an outbreak of members being banned for having more than 1 account on their computer, no matter what their excuse was. This is exactly why I am making this guide so then it can help other members know what to do if they have another account on their computer (Brother, sister, friend, etc.), what happens if you get banned for actually having multiple accounts, and what to do if you do get banned by accident.
First of all, marapets only allows one account per person. This means that you can only OWN 1 account on marapets, not 2, not 3, etc. Remember this rule for the rest of your time on marapets =]
1: (Brother, sister, friend, relative, etc.)!
So now somebody else, other than you, likes marapets as well. You both have accounts on marapets, which is even better. Once that other account is made, immediately you should notify staff. Be sure they know that now there is another account on your computer, but being used by 2 people who own each 1 separate account.
Remember, every time you log into marapets, it is tracked in some kind of list.
If you decide that you want to help that other person who has an account on your computer, by sending that person gift of an item/items, be sure to notify staff atleast once when you do so. This helps ensure that staff will know that you are sending the item as a gift, helping, etc., but not multi-accounting.
Even if you decide to send a pet to that other person who has an account on your computer, again, be sure to notify staff atleast once when you do so.
2: What Happens When You Get Banned for Actually Having Multiple Accounts!
So you thought you can outsmart staff did you? Think again.
If you have multiple accounts on your computer, where 1 person is using more than 1 account, you will get banned from marapets. Staff will BAN all of the accounts, including your precious main one with all of the tons of mp, rare pets, and items. You will lose everything you ever owned, and you will basically have to start over from scratch.
No, Marapets will not refund your money that you spent on AU Credits.
No, Marapets will not give into your sob story about how you did not know the rules, even though marapets clearly tells you to read the rules when you first joined the site.
No, Marapets will not give you anything that was on your banned account.
**If possibly you do have multiple accounts (the bad kind, lol) on your computer, but instead of keeping it a secret and then getting banned for it, confess it to staff and ask them to ban all of the other accounts except for your main one. Staff will gladly do so and you will be able to keep your main account without the thought of having to worry about getting banned by multiple accounts (again, bad kind of course, lol)**
3: You got Banned! But it was a Mistake!
First, put a notice in your profile telling everyone, including staff, that there are more than 1 account using your computer.
If you get banned for having multiple accounts, but instead, truthfully you did not have multiple accounts, you must mail staff and tell them about this immediately. Only after you have received the mail, you will find out what the problem was.
[Example: Member was sending another account (on same computer) items.]
If you had sent a staff member stating you were sending items to that other account, but it was not multi-accounting, you would have never have gotten into this mess in the 1st place. That mail is evidence : Proof
But even if you do not have any proof, staff will sooner or later gather up enough other evidence to come to the truthful conclusion that you are not Muli-accounting.
