Hello Richard aka Afrohat,
I have spoken with Clarky and seen all the evidence including some chats. To clarify for you, this has been considered alt abuse for many many years as you should know by now, and nobody has been using alts to claim gifts the past Christmas updates. We have decided that 5 weeks is fair considering your alt abuse past and we will not be lifting it or lowering it. Like you've mentioned it's rather unfortunate that you've been punished for your actions around New Years, but by no means is it a ticket out of it. With that out of the way, happy holidays and hopefully you can understand the punishment.
