Hello there @ArcticTheHunter 👋

if your accounts got suspended on another forum I suggest you ask there. To do this go to the url and type `/about` to see the contact email.

You can cheat things like:

1. get more votes on your topic
2. Get more likes  
2a. To get badges and other stuff
3. Can be used to make nasty comments about others

the list goes on…

Staff can do an IP check on your account to see if they match.

Hope this answers your question.
