WA politics...

I'm just here to ask why am I in the verge of being expelled from the WA.
Actually I've seen that in the FAQ there is an item that describes exactly my situation: my computer is used by me and my brother as well and we both have a nation each one here in the NationStates...
I wonder I is that so... I understand that the WA needs to have means of understanding who is who, but, how can it actually do that in a right way?
After all, nothing stops me from using 2, 3, a 100 diferent computers, each one with a different country and, following this way of thinking, no one can send me away from de WA. And that I believe it can happen...
So, why not checking autenticity by e-mail alone? The control wouldn't be better, but it would be more fair for those who cannot afford to have a second computer just to play NationStates...

For that matter, I would like to receive an answer as soon as possible, in order to understand not how this works this way, but WHY...

Thank you for your attention.
I hope I'm sending this message to the right place... lolol

The mods have multiple methods of checking for multi-ing; IP address is just one of them. So if you're sharing your computer with anyone, only one of you can be in the WA at a time. It's also not advised to use public computers, like at school or something...

This is not a new decision (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=274575), and it won't be reversed. Sorry.
