"Ignorance of the Law is no excuse" in civil and in misdemeanor or felony criminal cases in English common law.

Now as for the EU, ... hmmn

At least those who are are being banned, but yes I agree with Mapu

That is just so ridiculous. It's like cheating at Solitaire!

+1 Mapu. That's a very good idea.

And there aren't very many cheaters on the site - it's just that the few who do come here tend to make a lot of accounts. There were a lot of accounts banned in this last week mainly because of a couple of people who had created a large numbers of accounts. There were also a couple of people who weren't aware of rule #1 and volunteered to have one account removed, which is why Mapu's idea is good - there seem to be a lot of people who haven't read the site rules thoroughly because they're so difficult to find.

Check the new "register-page".. :-)

Well done Oli !!!

and +1 Mapu :)

Thanks Oli!

"Ignorance"? You have a generous heart, but I despair if people claim they are unaware that having two accounts in the same game isn't cheating, even without looking up the rules or viewing the new register page...

I'll call that contributory negligence lol

@Jasbrum -- You don't have to have two accounts in the same game to get banned. Two accounts on the site will do it.

Okay Mapu, I've come around to your argument and suggested warning message on sign-up page :)

@Jasbrum: " 'Ignorance' ... " - Absolutely ethical behavior can still be misconstrued.
Like, I myself got Detention in Kindergarten. Never found out why I was detained after school and held with a slightly sleazy-like kid.
Some rules are abstruse or inconvenient to Look up, but Rule #1 on this site ain't one of them.

I'm not worried about the multi's with two accounts, it's the ones with 10 that scare me :-D.

It seems to me that there might be cause to be lenient in situations where people have more than one account that have never played in the same game. Two accounts in one game is just cheating and the person should know.

That's an awesome addition Oli!
