    From the wiki's page on policy, at the very bottom (https://gswiki.play.net/Policy):

    Once a player is flagged as HMC, it is a permanent decision on all linked accounts, even if the account transfers hands.
    You basically caught Gemstone aids. Right now your other accounts are unlinked because linking is probably an archaic process that require someone high up to manually do it, and the internal policy behind it is not 100% clarified for the GMs involved. If you keep a low profile and play nice, they'd probably be willing to keep one eye shut on the whole situation while you keep playing. You ever get too annoying for them or won't shut up on the forums or something, Grumskull, then they have a definite "in" to get rid of you or make your life very interesting as they need to. You complain, they'll fall back on "buyer beware" on how you caught GS aids from character sales to begin with. Sorry man.

    Probably the dumbest policy in all of GS. We can verify you're not "that guy", but we literally don't care and are happy to fuck you over and all your linked accounts. Because reasons.

    Yeah. You gotta do your due diligence when buying characters for sure.

    Even if you think it's just some throwaway you're going to play around with, now it could come around and permanently hurt your prized stable of treasured original characters.

    I'm actually never going to buy a character now unless I know the seller in RL or something heh.

    so what if you sell a character to someone, and then they get in trouble, that goes back to you as well or just new to new account? if that makes sense?

    It sure as heck sounds like once a character is linked to your accounts it's linked forever, which doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.

    Would make more sense just to lock HMC accounts and not let them trade characters.

    Right because if my account is clean and i sell a character and then they mess up it's on me. i honestly get it, if the person is already a problem. but after?

    So they essentially end up with a lot more HMC people than there really are. Like lets say the guy who sold it to OP had two accounts. He's still HMC and so is OP. At that point its still just two accounts but now if OP sells a secondary account, it creates a new set of HMC accounts.
