I'm
not
in
favour
of
smurfs
who
"play
better
than
expected"
being
banned
without
an
admin
at
least
actively
enquiring
first.
A
griefer
smurf
can
be
eradicated
with
prejudice
though
for
all
I
care.
It
is
probably
wise
to
indicate
to
new
players
that
if
they
regularly
play
from
the
same
household
as
another
active
player
that
they
should
clarify
the
situation
to
an
admin.

It is probably wise to indicate to new players that if they regularly play from the same household as another active player that they should clarify the situation to an admin, since I can well imagine such an account being banned as a spec-cheating smurf without warning (which in some cases isn't a totally unreasonable guess).
