Grats to the OP about getting the ban lifted. It would be a badge of honor, you could say, but I hope I don't get anything like that.

To other people that suggest that Blizzard jumped the gun or that a GM didn't do enough investigation first, keep in mind that the game has automated detection systems (Warden) running to catch suspicious actions and log them. Likewise, I would also suspect that repeated suspicious actions in a very short time frame may also prompt the system to take pre-emptive action to stop you and then flag your case as a high priority ticket for a GM to investigate further (such as a high volume of spam reportings on one character in a short timeframe).

My point simply being that it was probably the humans that did the correct thing in this case, rather than started the whole issue.
I'd bet on a new GM not understanding what he/she was seeing, and flagged the accounts after a report. If they had set new flags in Warden, we'd see a lot more of our accounts being banned - remember, we're all using *very* similar setups, as far as accounts go.

Judging on how fast it was reversed, I'd bet on a newbie GM.
