Yea, we know a few friends who are up in a panic. There's talk about people who mass-sell arena teams for money (which is not against the rules, btw) are getting hit with the "exploitation of the economy" banstick, which I think is quite unreasonable given the amount of blue posts around that say that selling SPOTs/POINTs are ok (though wintrading is not).

Even moreso, I feel bad for the people who join teams that have been wintraded in the past without their knowledge, or who left a team that later was wintraded without them on it. Apparently these folks are getting hit with the banstick as well.
I would agree about people who just bought a team that someone traded on in the past should not be banned, but they seem to be conducting a scorched-earth policy in regards to this issue - nuke 'em from orbit, it's the only way to know for sure. Then clean up in the CS forums for those unfairly accused - which has been happening.

Seems like they want to make all of it so toxic to be part of any aspects to it, so people will avoid it - and it'll probably work.

Could they have handled it better? Probably. This *is* Blizzard we're talking about.
