No Julie. Family members are not barred and if I know they are related, nothing will happen or a ban would be lifted. I used my best judgement and if you notice, you were not banned.
Jason, I understand your policy but I do want to ask a question, if I may. My husband and I share a computer and, at times, we both visit this site. I am aware how our IP address will show up as the same but my question is this. Are family members discouraged from visiting and posting on this site should they be using the same computer? I appreciate this site and know my husband can be a little intolerant but he does enjoy reading your posters. As for deleting an id, I will delete this ID if it is against policy, but I cannot find the option to do so. Thank you. -Julie
