Look, I’m dealing with the exact same headache. My main account got banned over two weeks ago for the same reason—and no, this isn't some burner or clone, it’s just my first real account. I ended up making this one because, let's be honest, my previous username was pretty idiotic, so now I’m going by Rollercoaster. If you look at the ban corner, there are about five or six threads covering this exact issue—Matesonik nuked them all because he thinks they're clones of users who are already banned. I’ve tried everything—I sent Matesonik an email, I even reached out via ICQ—but since he hasn't bothered to respond, I moved on to messaging other mods and admins too. Still nothing. Total radio silence. I'm planning to just sit tight until my original account actually gets unbanned, but I really think someone in administration needs to have a word with Matesonik about how he's handling this. I want my old account back—I am NOT interested in starting from scratch again—and I don't want to see anyone else getting slapped with bans for no damn reason.
So, to make a long story short, I’m asking the admins to please step in and have a conversation with Matesoniku, because right now, he’s basically shutting out new users.
Thanks.
