I know lots of you guys create alt accounts for various reasons and that's not against our rules and its probably even part of the Comic Vine zeitgeist. The thing is, spammers do the same thing and as I've said before we're getting hit particularly hard lately. That behavior is now considered a trigger to get your alt account and your original account banned. I would suggest you don't do that at least from the same location. Create one at home and one at work and then you'll be fine. Create two or more at home and you won't. Also don't use proxies because that will get you banned just as quickly.
I'm really sorry about all of this. I hope its not a permanent thing but I'm sure you would prefer spam-free forums to having multiple alt accounts. We'll look into seeing what we can do to make this work for you but I can't promise anything and definitely can't even speculate on when.
If you did get caught up, send an email to support@comicvine.com and we'll get you restored.
