If you get banned, are you allowed to create a new account and join again? And don't get any ideas, I take pride in my current 0 warning points, but I am just legitimately asking out of curiosity! Thanks!
And if you create a new account to avoid a temporary ban they both get banned forever.If we are talking a permaban then quick answer is: Hell no. They track your ISP or some junk and they will catch you and ban your new account.
Is this also true of temp bans?If we are talking a permaban, the quick answer is: Hell no. They track your ISP or some junk and they will catch you and ban your new account.
If its a temp ban, there is no point in creating a new account to be honest, because the ban will be revoked sooner or later without any 'shenanigans'.Is this also true of temp bans?

I wasn't sure if he was talking about just premabans or bans as a whole. Regardless, I have a ban circumvention method that might just work...See the post above you by the ever wise @TB.

Wait, is that comment enough to get me banned? It's supposed to be a joke.
It's rather an open secret that a few perma-banned members have returned under different names. In most cases, they've truly reformed and sometimes become valued members of the community. In a few cases they haven't and end up getting banned again.
Wasnt this asked in the questions about mods thread?If a mod finds out one of those people were actually banned before, what action, if any, will be taken?
AFAIK they're given 29 points - essentially death row. One screw up = second permaban.If a mod finds out one of those people were actually banned before, what action, if any, will be taken?
Yeah, like me.What about users that have been banned and came back without any of the mods noticing? There has to be several of them here flying under the radar for quite some time.
Only one way to find out. It could possibly work, but I have my doubts. It's not like I'm using a second account after I bailed from another one...So I guess if you truly play the cards right, you could return on a last breath of life, second account?
Nice. What if the member returns under the same email address, but doesn't act like an idiot (Or as bad in general) on their second account?If a returning banned member doesn't do anything to arouse suspicions... in other words... they play nice, don't throw middle fingers around the room and put the toys back in the basket after they play with them, then there's no need for the mods to investigate.
Some people return under an alias, continue acting like idiots, and are banned again. It's inevitable. If the returning banned member has truly reformed and doesn't do anything stupid, then there's no need to investigate, right?
Impossible. Since the email is already registered on the site, it won't let you proceed.What if the member returns under the same email address
Email addresses must be unique. The specified email address is already in use.
Wrong.If a returning banned member doesn't do anything to arouse suspicions... in other words... they play nice, don't throw middle fingers around the room and put the toys back in the basket after they play with them, then there's no need for the mods to investigate.

Between @niky, who has banned his fair share, and yourself, who has banned exactly no one, I think I'm going to have to side with my brother-in-arms on this one. Doubly so since I KNOW he's correct.Wrong.
In reality, that account will immediately banned seconds after returning. Investigation didnt exist. Are you just compensating or just playing with us?
Wrong.

I can try. But I won't.Impossible. Since the email is already registered on the site, it won't let you proceed.
If you do try, you'll end up with this message:
Make your own conclusioin.Multiple Accounts
Only one account per person is allowed on GTPlanet. If it is discovered that a user has two active accounts, they will be asked which they would like to continue using and the other will be permanently banned.
One flaw: Just because multiple accounts comes from one ISP doesnt mean it is USED by one person alone.This is also very important to know:
