People getting banned? why

[Ogloo]

the past like 5/10 post have been about people getting banned.. is there a multiboxing wave of bans going around? and should i be careful? or was it just out of chance?

1 of the guys had 2 different names on his accounts.

Another guy was posting a thread about a spam email he got asking for his user name and password saying he was going to get banned.

I mightve missed some others, but thats an explanation for two of them.

the reasons are in their respective threads. please read the threads to get the details.

And more importantly, this. Zero was saying he got a scam email trying to get his account names and password. And the second guy used his girlfriends name which is against ToS.

Because there have been a lot of new boxers lately, and a lot of new GMs thanks to Wrath. More boxers + more new GMs = more boxers getting banned by GMs that aren't aware of the policies.

false. there is two out of a bunch of threads about account bans/suspension/attempted hacks. not 5 out of 10, or 5 to 10, or whatever 5/10 means.

this is assuming the OP's statement is true. i've only seen forjax's thread as the one where the GMs messed up.

There was a ban wave a few weeks ago, and I think Blizzard is also banning more daily, than doing big ban waves. The two posts about it here just seem like a bigger deal, because so few here get banned.

If you've set your accounts up right, and are'nt using anything dodgy, you should be fine. You should *always* be careful, this style of play has a lot of "gotchas" that you can innocently stumble over - and that's where this website shines, all the info you need is right here.

I think the more people get wind of dual-boxing.com, the more people are jumping into MB'ing without understanding the ins and outs. Sharing accounts seems to be a common problem.
