Temp bans get extended...?

when I mule after 20 hell baal games, i use to switch chars a lot and today i wasn't careful and got temp banned because i did it too fast...anyway the thing is,i've been reading topics on this site for weeks and the answer i see the most around is:when you log in after a temp ban,it will reset the ban time or extend it...but where did those conclusions come from? I really would like to know for sure if logging in does that or just nothing,cause i try to log to know if I can play again and not wait a whole 12 hours when it actually was a 1-2 hour ban...

also,with my actual router i can't refresh my IP just by rebooting it,i have to wait the ban to finish...i tried a lot of stuff to solve it but i didn't do anything new

thanks in advance|||If you have had a temp ban once or more that week, i think it will be a extended one.

Also, run DiaBaal games, they give approx the same XP (debatable) and they last longer so you will have less chances to face the temp ban. Also, i think that if you try log in after temp ban, the first 3 have no effect but after that, it gets extended.

Finally, don't rush while muling, i keep a 3mins as the least time the character is in the game.

Ps. Try logging every 1 and half hours after the ban, if after the second (3 hours after tban) you still can't log in, wait 9 more hours.|||Temp bans are annoying just because it took the people who program the bots all of 2 minutes to edit their scripts just beyond the amount of time that would get them temp banned. Where as I, the honest Dkey runner who knows the maps and does the runs in ~45 sec-1.5 min (if tomb vipers) normally gets banned.|||ah, so it takes 3 of those tries to have it extended...now it's clearer...but when you say to wait that much time...does it mean that the 5-10 mins bans are no more and that now they are at least 1 hour almost every time a ban occurs? because it almost always takes near 1 to 12 hours to unlock the IP from ban whenever I get it,very rarely there has been less than a hour to wait

thank you for replying to my interrogation|||For me I try at 10 minutes and then if it doesn't work then, I try again at 30-45 minutes (normally get distracted waiting so it's more like 45) and it generally works then.
