The following are reasons an account has been closed due to one or more failures to comply with the agreed registration obligations.


Section 3(a) : The Red Hot Pawn administration team have identified a single person using multiple accounts.
Section 3(b) : The Red Hot Pawn game moderation team have found overwhelming evidence, and concluded beyond reasonable doubt that the following players have violated the Terms of Service, Section 3(b), and in doing so, have had their accounts terminated.

No 3(d), "Being a sexual deviant" as yet. RHP would go broke if this was the case. 😕 And if it does become a rule, I plead the 5th. 🙄
