There have been recent reports of people getting their accounts disabled, without any warning. Right now we have very little information behind the reasons for account banning, but it's probably a good idea to get into the habit of minimising any risk.

I personally recommend the following: I've created a 3 minute Microsoft Paint illustration demonstrating the things KanColle staff have specifically expressed concern about:
 * Avoid using smartphones or tablet PCs from accessing the game. This is actively discouraged by DMM staff, and may become explicitly forbidden in the future.
 * Avoid making it pants-on-head obvious that you're an evil gaijin. Don't put silly gaijin comments in the user comment speech bubble thing. Remember, we're all breaking the DMM.com Terms of Use here (the Niconico community response from the DMM support center isn't set-in-stone policy).
 * Don't abuse F5. This has specifically been forbidden, and mentioned on the staff Twitter.
 * Don't run public bots or automation tools (i.e. tools that you've downloaded from the internet). If you really need to be a lazy admiral, write your own little C++ program or something, and don't share it with anyone.
 * The devs have stated that using multiple accounts is forbidden. However, since we're probably all registering using VPNs, we're probably ending up with a large number of registrations coming from the same IP address. There's not much you can do in this regard, other than to be a bit careful.
