One thing I am wondering about though - do they get a refund, too (those who were subscribers)? In that case, I fear people will start creating multiple accounts when they want to leave TFC, so they get some money back...
From what I understand , no $$$ are refunded .

Look at the bottom of the page/ site map.

Also moldy I believe the monies were refunded to the person (pulsitilla?) whom paid for Ironman31's star recently.

erm-they were multiple accounts, many of whome were having a conversation about whether to subscribe yesterday with themselves. i think they may only be 2 people tops...

and skeeter, how many families staying in the same house log on from different IP's? and the problem also occured with people using LAN's. i have no idea how it works now, but when it was first implemented these people were basically chucked and only one was allowed to return.

A quote from the page "Section 3(b) : The Red Hot Pawn game moderation team have found overwhelming evidence, and concluded beyond reasonable doubt that the following players have violated the Terms of Service, Section 3(b), and in doing so, have had their accounts terminated".

It seems a bit silly for an article to refer to itself, while (a) and (c) clearly explains why a user is banned. Why doesn't (b) say it was due to cheating with chess engines?

I agree. In its original form it made sense (before (a) and (c) were added). Now it should say:

Section 3(b) : The Red Hot Pawn game moderation team have found overwhelming evidence, and concluded beyond reasonable doubt that a player has used a chess engine, chess software, a chess computer or consulted a third party to assist them in a game.
