I just reviewed the archives on this subject and there doesn't seem to
be anything more recent than 2005. I would appreciate any further
information on the following:
There seem to be 3 types of temp ban. The first lasts up to 30 min.,
the second several hours (maybe 24), and the third is for 3 days. I
have experienced all three but am not sure what actually triggers the
3 day one.
The first ban seems to be the first one "for that day" and is
triggered by either too many games/hr (known as the 20 game/hr limit),
or by joining games too fast, as when trading or muling furiously. The
24 hr ban seems to be triggered if you have previously had a short ban
preceding in the 24 hr. period (ie. the second ban of the day).
Does anyone know what triggers the 3 day ban?
Does joining games count the same as making new games (ie could I make
20 new games in an hour and join a few already made games) or does the
joining of games count on the new game total too? Is there a limit on
the number of just "joining" games?
Any facts or speculation on the above would be appreciated.
