What I'm saying is, and this is all hypothetical, that the person wasn't using the second account to avoid the ban, but they were going about their business on the second account, and not meddling with the affairs of the first account. As if the player used both actively, on different worlds, being forum banned on one stops him from refuting public attacks on his alliance for the second?
I understand why the rule is there, I just feel that a player who actively uses both accounts, neither of which interact or are publicly known to be operated by the same player, should be able to continue to use the second account as long as he does not use it to simply evade the ban and do what he would do on the primary account.
Although, that would require very close moderation, and a lot of effort to be maintained, so the rule as it is is a much more manageable way of doing this.
