    Not sure about just chaning an email. I could see how creating accounts from different IPs might look like you’re setting up spam account or trying to evade server bans or something.

      If I was ban evading the account would be banned not limited. Jesus are people that jaded that it must be “just me lying”? Why would I even make a thread about it if I knew I was at fault. That doesn’t even make any sense.

        Because people have a tendency to present themselves from the best angle by omitting pertinent but inconvenient facts. I’ve seen dozens of “my videogame account was unfairly suspended” threads with a community manager showing proof that they were, in fact, violating the rules.

        I’m not claiming that this is what happened here, and I also think that Discord is a dogshit company, but your word alone is not credible.

          Yeah that’s fair. People do this on the internet all the time and I never understood why. Like if you know you’re in the wrong there’s no point in voluntarily making a post on the internet insinuating otherwise.

        I didn’t say you’re lying or even breaking the TOS. But your conclusion that you got suspended “just for using a VPN” is also obviously false. So there must be more to the situation.

          I’m glad that you don’t think it was the VPN so now I don’t need to be as paranoid about keeping it connected.
