It has been debated for some time what to do with family members of banned members. Since Bacon had an extensive batch of accounts, and you springing up with sales after his ban, we have had to question our polices on household bans. Unfortunately if anything went wrong, you would blame your brother, and there was nothing we can do otherwise if you always had a scapegoat. Since you weren't so bad as a chating member, we have decided to instill a complete trade ban, and let you still post in other non trade areas of the site. This also means you will not be allowed to use PM's, visitor messages or emails. Sorry that it has come to this, but we can't continue to let banned members have a foothold in the site through active siblings.

Are you kidding me? I'm sorry my brother is an asshole, but I don't feel like I should be punished for this. Is there any way this can be lifted?
