Effective immediately, any character that receives a forum ban will automatically receive an ingame siteban to accompany their forum ban for the same amount of time.
Those who are currently banned will not receive an ingame siteban unless warranted by further transgression of forum rules.
Furthermore, upon recommendation from the forum moderator, if an individual tends to show a trend of forum abuse over many characters, regardless of if they have been banned from strikes or not, individuals may receive ingame sitebans as well. Essentially this means if you show a clear pattern of strike accumulation on multiple characters, you will be subject to removal from the game.
