If you have an e621 account... [UPDATED!] -- Viktria's Journal (2024)

UPDATE:

One of the admins heard my husband out (because as I said, with a banned account you can't contact anyone....), and gave back my account. The point was in all of my whining, to find somebody who has some sense to make fair judgement. After all, it makes me happy that somebody at least cared about my situation, and having back my account meant just a gesture for me, because of the unfair judgement, not for actual useful reasons. Though his answer was foggy somehow, I didn't understand everything about his explanation... But this admin respectfully warned us to be careful about voting on anything, or just using our accounts for, like anything... (It's so funny to know they warned us about the broken system) But he stated, that if any of our accounts will be found violating any rule, both will be banned like now, because they use the same network... Anyway, if I got it right, probably I can avoid the ban again if we don't vote, comment, or do anything beside browsing and faving.

So the little conclusion of the situation: If you're live in the same household with somebody and use the same wi-fi in general, and both have an e621 account, don't vote on the same comment/picture, or do much in general. They both count as the same person, and cheating the system. I mean "SYSTEM"... If you are unlucky, an admin can spot you, and they can ban both of your accounts.

Ps.: I just want to say thank for all of you guys the mental support. Your not too happy stories ensured me that they weren't just picking on me personally. And as I said, I don't care about my account, but I won't let someone to accuse me for things I haven't done, especially because I always try to folow every rule.
Again, thank you all! ^^

ORIGINAL:

Today I've banned from e621. Permenantely. Well, it's not that I have an utterly need to keep my e621 account, not really my cup of tea, but it was a good place to find new furry arts and artists. I registered there two years ago because I wanted to keep eye on my art there, and to find some art gems. That's all. The point is a feel totally humaliated now, the way I lost my account, and was treated like a criminal. And this journal is a warning for housholds with multiple e621 accounts. Let me explain why.

Lets see why I'm banned, and why my husband's e621 account (Tacskoexe) was flagged at the very same time.

The message my husband got: "Don't use alts to cheat the voting system. Account affected: Zummeng."
The message I got: "Tacskoexe vote-cheating alt" Without any further explanation.

My husband talked with an admin (because I couldn't send any messages with a banned account) what did led him to make the conclusion we were cheating. My husband provided links to our other accounts to prove we aren't the same person. Well, the discussion ended up we becoming angry, disapponted, and we were just speechless. At first we didn't understand what's the problem was, because we used our accounts properly in the past years and we never and ever had any problem till now. I was banned, because me and my husband live in the same houshold and using the same wi-fi. I couldn't belive what we read, so we asked back, and this was the answer we got:

My husband's question: "How come this wasn't a problem in the past 3-4 years, and now suddenly only 1 account/household is permited?"

The admin's answere: "It happened then just as well, perhaps not as often as I am much more thorough with my work. Your issue is not the first I've dealt with and it won't be the last. As long as people share the same connection, we assume that the connection is for a single person. What happens on said connection is your responsibility, and we do not grant special privileges for relatives or spouses."

Priviliges... So it's a privilige to investigate a problem properly by just clicking on TWO links.
And the answer for why I could keep my account for years: The admin now works harder, and he just spotted our accounts.
And I almost forgot the best.This is what he said when we told him we are not the same person, and he should do his research properly: "Do not tell me how to do my job."
I'm not going to write the admin's name here, my goal wasn't to make harm to personally him, but I felt extremely humaliated.

So you guys who live in the same household, and if you all have e621 accounts, don't be suprised if/when you get banned... Because that was the reason behind my ban.

Just from pure curiosity, have anything like that ever happend to you guys?
