Been thinking while reading some other posts; does everyone only get one shot to play ponytown?

If an account gets suspended or banned for any reason... that's it? game over, forever? I've heard that ban appeals aren't very likely to happen, so... one strike and you're out, permanently. No grace period, no chance to right any wrongs, and an appeal that will likely get ignored. And what about if you haven't played in a very long time, and forget what social you used? Trying to log in with anything else will get you banned in that case, too.

I also have a sort of theory, that this might be a possible reason why a good chunk of the community is always inactive and afk; they don't wanna risk saying anything and getting banned or reported because of it, even if it's something innocuous. If you're a supporter on Patreon, what then? You pay them and you're not even allowed in? Or would that be a sort of pay2win transaction, like paying a fine to get unbanned lol.

I know why it's like this, to attempt to avoid ban evasion and such, but I dunno; it's a double edged sword. I might be reading too deep into it, but I've always felt like this part of the moderation system feels like Russian roulette
