So here I am enjoying a rousing game of iSketch, and this guy draws a picture of a stoplight.
He draws a friendly arrow pointing straight at the big yellow circle.
A yellow light! Of course! The obvious choice is to guess SLOW DOWN!
But clearly that was wrong.
So I guess, hesitate, because hesitate is what I do at yellow lights! They are scary and I never know what to do so I bite my lip and put a worried look on my face and hesitate before flooring it through that yellow light.
Either way, after me and some other guy guessed hesitate, your friendly neighborhood admin decides he should ban us for cheating. Just because he doesn't think the same way I do doesn't mean I'm cheating, does it?

Now I'm not entirely concerned about the ban, because I don't think it was permanent.
My real question is how admins are going about seeking out 'cheaters' Because I had missed words that they had not, I had incorrectly guessed words they had drawn, they had incorrectly guessed my words.
So I fail to see how after one strange looking turn where an Admin can't figure out our train of thought, it means we're cheating.
If there's suspected cheating wouldn't it make sense to stick around for more than one turn?

hesitate is such a nasty nasty word that needs to be removed from the easy list in my opinion.
as for the situation, i wasnt there, im no admin, so i obviously cant give a very good reason as to why it happened. You could try e-mailing feedback, as there (I think) they can look at the reasoning behind the blocks/bans and may be able to answer why it happened better. Here we arent official and are just a bunch of crazy sketchaholics.
well, hope you get back on isketch soon and hopefully see you around!

Not gonna lie, but I bet it was amber. :P

Jmacs right though. We don't know the reasoning behind that persons logic. From how you put it, it sounds like the admin was in the wrong, but seeing as we weren't in the situation ourselves we don't know what caused them to boot you. (as in, what they thought). So yeah, your best bet is to email feedback and see what they say if you wanna complain about it. :) I think sometimes it's very obvious when people are cheating and sometimes it's not. So it's going to be down to the admins judgement on that part.
