Chain banning, is when they ban one account, and put a cookie on your browser.

That cookie bans every account you try and log into.

[slinky199]

holy shit cookies. i thought it was just tracking trade trails and stuff.

[Smithno13]

It tracks cookies, it tracks trades, and they probably track IPs too. Nobody knows for certain.

You can get chain banned for that.
They will track your ISP number down and see all the accounts you have an ban them.
But sometimes they dont, Ive used an FLP before and only got 1 account banned.
But most likely they will track your accounts, Advertise elsewhere.
Youtube,facebook, whatever.
Just not on gaia and you should be safe, ive done it on youtube and ive been safe for a while now.

Chances are they won't find out anyway. :/ Just use a proxy next time?

Proxy? Whats the point of doing that? Will it change my IP or something?

[Baxter]

Where can you get proxy

The only possible way to prevent chain bannings is by using proxy and clearing all your cookies every login.

Wow this has been beaten like a dead horse for like every single post, so i am going to answer all questions right now.

The tracking cookie that gaia attatches to you tracks your cookies, reads your cache, and locks your IP address, and the sites you visit. that is how i had a mule banned for association with LG without ever mentioning the UN on either sites. It cannot track your trade logs since that is a server sided action, trades are logged however in the logs on the mod CP on gaia for the staff to look at to make sure you arent hacking, or scamming.

THe way you can find it is, a sleep-scan. let your computer fall into a sleep status (Screen saver pops up) and then wake up the system, it should have performed a quick scan of the computer, it can show up that way, or it can pop up in your system check list the second you get it attatched to you.

A proxy is on the net.

No. no really knows what the cookie tracker does (completely).

Yes i am a genius.
