There is some expectation of this on AA. Mild infractions often get you
an "archkill" which prevents you from logging on anywhere from 1 to 30
days. Stronger infractions may get all your characters banished, but
these bans are sometimes removed, and if you were to come back in a
month or two with a different free email address, Law will typically
look the other way as long as you behave. Official policy and unofficial
policy may differ, if the unofficial policy works.
And, no, I don't have any explanation for Opie.
