we dont ban for people voting in polls on alt.
Let me explain this very clearly, JPP almost never bans. The reason it seems frequent is because of basically one rule that people can't help themselves over. Other than rule 12b, or doxxing, people will not get banned.
Exceptions:
Mason got banned in a one off instance because we were voting on whether to continue threadbans. This was a poll that actually affected the function of the board, and affected every single person on here. As such, I said straight up from the onset in the OP to not vote cheat, or you'd get banned. Gave a specific warning not to do it on that specific poll. Mason cheated, I kept my word.
Otherwise we don't give a shit about polls.
Exception #2. If people keep spamming the forum, bumping 15 different threads, after getting warned multiple times to stop, we have in the past (like maybe once or twice) given small 24 hour bans. Again, this has only happened once or twice in 13 years. It's not something that happens often.
Basically, don't violate rule 12b, don't dox, and you will not be banned. It is not complicated.
