    Hey Everyone,

    I want to start out by saying I have never been banned, nor do I even own a second account. This is just an idea I had on a way to prevent voting abuse and a better system to hopefully make people not do it again. This has been a hot topic recently and since I like this game and community I figured I would put in my input for the GM's and others to think about. It might have flaws but they could be worked out.

    The current system we have is to hand out 7 day bans for vote abusing. Although giving bans is a fine punishment it does not fit this crime. When you get banned for 7 days all you do is vote and get a free 35k nx when your not even playing. Isn't the point of this punishment to actually...well punish the people who are getting extra nx from voting. Instead you just give them a free pass to keep voting in their current system. I think that there needs to be a new system put in place for this punishment.

    This is what the new system should be.
    1) You get a 3-7 day ban (depending on how many times you have abused the system). During this time you will not be allowed to vote or have any type of game activity because that is truly what a ban is.
    2)The nx that is in their account currently should be taken away and reduced to 0. I understand that you cant take away items due to duping and other issues. So if they already spent some of that nx, you cant do much about it. But you can reduce their nx down to 0.
    3) This is a new function that should be added. Each player should be forced to pay back the amount of nx that they "stole" from the game. For example: A player earns 20k nx that he should not have earned. The nx will be taken away. Their new nx total would be -20k nx. Now after their ban is up. The next 4 days of their voting will be used to pay off debt that they have. This function makes sense because when they earned all of that nx in 1 day or so they have techniqually been paid there nx for 4 days. So they should spend the next 4 days paying back when they earned. This will balance the market as well because there will not be an increase in gachas and other items.

    This punishment actually fits the crime. If you were to steal money from a bank, (example from autoassemble), you would serve jail time (your ban time). Then you would also have to pay back all money and damages done (your negative nx that you will pay back). Now I understand that there might be a few flaws in this system. By I think this is a decent punishment for abusing our Voting process. The flaws could be worked out and discussed more by GM's, who could put their own touch to this system. But overall this system should be a good punishment that will deter people from vote abusing in the future.

    TL;DR: 3 day ban with no voting allowed during. NX reduced to 0. However much NX you earned by abusing will now be a Negative number and you use your votes to pay that debt back.
