I believe that we all appreciate your efforts to improve the quality of this server. You are going about out in a too extreme of nature. This is creating a general fear in the community that will only harm the server in the end. Thirty-six accounts in a single week is quite a lot, and you are reaching a point where false-positives are becoming ever more likely. You start banning the wrong people, and the whole house will crumble.
I know of couples now who play, that are now concerned that they are going to be seen as boxers simply because they are enjoying each other's company. Many players do not just sit at their computers every second that they are logged in. My girlfriend and I often play with one another and she or I will AFK while the other handles a camp as we take on real-life tasks. This is completely legitimate play, but unless we are both at the keyboard to respond to a passer-by, we are venomously accused of being dual-boxers.
I am not saying allow boxing, but I think the current actions need be tempered. A single strong warning with a flag on an account and at least let the person explain themselves. After that any infractions are a perma-ban offense. I know the GM's time is all volunteered, but there are still restrictions that need to be followed as the power is great.
I post this as I am deeply concerned for the future well-being of Project1999. I love this server.

This...
Just happened to my wife and I last night. She was helping me lvl in OOT to in turn allow me to help PL her (I'm a nec, shes a cleric). One second everything is going fine, next moment we both have black screens saying we are banned. We were just discussing too moments prior when Amelinda announced she was searching for 2 boxers that what we are doing will probably look like boxing so we were waiting for any tell or message if we were ever accused, but none such message came and the wrath of Amelinda is swifter than words can be typed (My ulnar nerve was severed recently so I'm not typing quick at all anyway.. but it is fast!) so I was not able to appeal any such decision. I hope such situations can be resolved, I really did enjoy my time that I invested into the character and was enjoying watching my wife and I level up together. Please at least send a message or observe closely before coming to conclusions. I know having the benefit of the doubt will let some bad apples through, but being overly zealous in your efforts will end up hurting more than helping
