While navigating this forum, looking for information on the "Copybot" in order to determine how serious a problem it is, I came across a thread where it was hinted Linden-Labs might ban all IPs with more than one registered account (In response to this recent copybot epidemic)... I don't suppose the smaller details are going to matter when or if this is done? The reason I ask is because some time ago I let a relative of mine create an account on my computer (He played it for a day or two, then stopped completely and hasn't since), and I'm concerned that /my/ account may be banned because of this... Should I be genuinely worried?  |

Linden Lab has made no such announcement. It also seems unlikely that this would happen. Many households use routers behind a single IP for multiple computer users and it doesn't really make sense to limit the entire household (or business or campus) to a single login. To say nothing of the fact that the vast majority of ISPs use dynamic IPs for residential accounts meaning everyone one of their customers shares an IP address with many people.
