well, I think they have triggered the spam alarm. Otherwise, they would not be so serious.

The PM from the moderators are so serious... that I can not ignore them.

I am kind of shaking right now, thinking these three accounts will get banned while I am writing the next word. So horirble. I woke up, dreaming the sad faces of my two sisters.

giving more deapth to my problem. I almost post in only one fourm. Since, we three live in the same house, we are all fan of that show. Now, when three days ago my sisters joined, they also posted on the forum, where I usually post. but, one of them only posts in my fourm. The other one actually have posted in almost 7-8 forums. I don't know how they are similar...

Since one of them is only posting in the forum, where I am posting, it might be suspicious. That's why I said, erase mine, and keep theirs... but as they said, "all will be banned"

Now, another problem, I have just submitted a banner for contest and I believe one day ago before posting the firts round voting, my sister's joined the forum. Now, since we all are fan of that particular show, it is obvious, they both voted in that forum. But, they have no idea, they voted for my banner, as they don't even know that I exists in IF.

I think that is the main reason, the moderator are being suspicious. Therefore, I withdrew my banner from the contest. and I said will leave IF. But they are still going to erase those two accounts with mine.

Maybe I am repeating words, or lines. but I am freaking out right now. Can't think clearly. Is there any way, my sisters can keep their account?

and it seems liek the moderators are favorable toward my account, since it is three months old. and my sisters' are of only three days. But I want the opposite. and I think they also want to keep mine, so only one account will survive instead of my sisters, which will make them keep two accounts from the same IP address.

One more question, if I get banned, will all my posts be banned also? Like no one will be able to see them anymore?

Well its great to hear that you are in CS field.

However here is the thing that restricting through IP limits and takes care of 90% of the problem. The remaining 10% who will try to register / make new posts do it through proxy servers we are working on building a database of all the available public/anonymous proxies.
