Why was I banned? I just started playing this game a few weeks ago and think it's cool. What did I do wrong?

The ban placed on your account was for multi-accounting, owning more than one account per server. This ban is permanent and not normally removed.
Do you have any idea why this ban was placed on your account?

I play and so does my son. Is that multi-accounting?! Mine is attached to my gmail account and his to his hotmail account. We've never swapped any goods and he's not a member of my alliance. I think he even had his account deactivated once for not using it and he started again. (He's 4 so he really doesn't do much except want to do what daddy does.) His account is <removed> and mine is <removed> (all my towns are <removed> I, II or III named after my 10 day old son!)
We don't really do much on my son's account so if that breaks the rules please just disable it and I'll let him run one of my colonies or something. (Or start him on a new server.)
Thanks.

This ban was placed because you share sensitive account information. This ban was not placed because you are related, because you live together, or because you use the same connection.

I don't understand? My son is 4 years old. I log in for him so he can play. That's why we were banned?

Well logging in for another player is against the rules also, yes. However the ban was placed because the evidence shows that you're the same person.
There isn't much that I can do about it, though, because there isn't a way to prove that he isn't you etc.
How well can a four year old play this game? o.O (out of curiosity.) Congrats on your new baby also.
I'm sorry that I can't really help you but the rules are pretty clear about things and there isn't any leeway for parents who help their children play.. I'm not 100% sure what to do in this situation so you may want to message an SGO and ask their opinion about it. They may be able to help you in ways that I can't.

To Whom It May Concern:
I have a problem with the banning of my and my son's account. As you can see from the other ticket, I do not understand why these accounts are banned. I play and my 4 year old son plays. We use it more as a teaching tool for him. ([time] how long until something is done being built or researched, [geography] time is from a different time zone and the game seems to be based out of Germany so we look at a globe and talk about where it is, [math] how many more resources are needed before we can do something new, how many will we have left after we build something.)
The other ticket first says I was banned for "multi-accounting on the same server" and then they said it was because I "shared sensitive account information" and then back to "I am the same person". Well of course it should look like the same person. We're in the same house and sometimes on the same PC. I log in for him and make sure there's no inappropriate messages he might see from another player and then we talk about what he wants to do. (I'm the one who actually does it since he doesn't understand many of the game mechanics yet.) If the solution to this is to just remove is account from the ETA server, that's fine since he can quickly get brought back to the point he is now and for him it's not so much about progression as it is "doing what he sees daddy do".
I'm disappointed in the circular non-assistance I was given with my first ticket and why are tickets of this nature even directed to lower level staff if they can't actually do anything to assist me? (In real life I manage a multi-million dollar data center in the US that includes a help desk so I know a little about what I'm talking about.)
I also have no doubt that the two accounts have logged on from various IP addresses as well since I work from home, but I will VPN into various sites around the country and continue to play Ikariam thru those connections as well. (I also would play in hotels or via cell phone if I needed to travel but I haven't yet.)
This game has a nice simple concept that I, and now several friends enjoy playing. I found you recommended on a website and started playing and promptly had four of my friends jumping to play as well. I would hate to see that my recommendation was ill placed.
Thank you for your time.
