Subject: Will my computer get banned?

Consider this situation:

I created this bnet account using my home computer. One day I post a thread or two from my home computer. The thread(s) I post from my home computer abide by the rules.

On the same day , I post a thread from a computer at the public library. The thread turns out to be against the rules, so it gets locked and I get banned.

Now that I'm banned, anyone else who tries to log into bnet from the library computer will get banned because Disembodied Soul will think their accounts are alternate accounts used to get around my ban.

But will my home computer be banned as well? If anyone else tries to log in through my home computer, do they get banned?

EDIT: Forget you saw that.

I've always wondered that too. I'd say probably but I don't know anything.

Key

It's logged via cookies (or your cache, one of the two, I can never tell them apart), so it's localized to the computer (more specifically the browser) you get banned on. Just so long as you don't have "Remember my password and email address" checked, and don't log in automatically, anybody else will be able to use their account on your computer. If you do have this checked, just be sure to clear your cache/cookies (again, not sure which) before proceeding onto Bungie.net or that person will get banned.

Disclaimer: don't use this to avoid bans. That's not cool, mang.
