Banned :( and now unbanned! :)

[Slayde]

Congrats on getting this issue resolved prompty and enjoy that last stretch to level 70!

Must have been some new admin or something, idk.

Yea, Blizzard isn't infallible. There are still humans behind the wheel and humans make mistakes.

I'm glad everything was rectified appropriately. :)

This is completely unacceptable, with $1BILLION a year they should be able to hire cyborgs from the future that don't make mistakes!

Un-erring cyborgs ftw.

Something doesn't wash...

If it was KeyClone, all 5 accounts would be banned.
If it was a KeyLogger and account exploits, all 5 accounts would be banned (Because hackers aren't going to just nab one).
If it was a keyboard macro like a G15 or Nostromo or X-Keys it would again affect all 5 accounts...

I'd say if what you are telling us is straight up, you'll get the account back and something happened to get this ban and was a mistake.

Not necessarly true for the keylogger. I was keylogged on the one account I use to post on the blizz forums. My other four were untouched.

Glad you got your account back man. Hope you hit 70 soon

Gratz on getting your account back, good to hear.

I just wish Blizzard would update their "your banned" form letter to remove this line: "As a result, the account(s) will no longer be accessible and will not be reopened under any circumstances."

Obviously the "under any circumstances" is not correct since under your circumstance, the account was reopened and rightfully so.

Obviously the "under any circumstances" is not correct since under your circumstance, the account was reopened and rightfully so.

But the "as a result" implies a conditional, like Modus Ponens...

If A therefore B.
A exists.
Therefore, B.


In this particular case:
If you are running illegal 3rd party automation programs, you will be permanently banned and not reopened under any circumstances.
You were running illegal 3rd party programs.
Therefore, you will be permanently banned and not reopened under any circumstances.


The OP was able to prove that he was NOT running illegal 3rd party programs, such that the conclusion wasn't supported by the premises. Basically, he proved "not A".

Simple Blizzard logic really.

Do While A<>"Automation"
    Requery(A)
Loop
If A="Automation" then 
    Account.Banned = True 
Endif 

If User.Complains = True then 
    Requery(A) 
    If A="Automation" then 
        Account.Banned = True 
        SendEmail(Template1, Account.EmailAddress) 
    elseif A<>"Automation" then 
        Account.Banned = False 
        SendEmail(Template2, Account.EmailAddress) 
    endif 
elseif 
    Exit 
Endif

Yes, I am board at work :P

Yes, I am board at work :P

LOL...I'm usually aluminum. Strong. Corrosion-resistant. Can be adapted to many situations. Can be formed into a weapon when desired. :P

    Account.Banned = True 
Endif 

If User.Complains = True then 
    Requery(A) 
    If A="Automation" then 
        Account.Banned = True 
        SendEmail(Template1, Account.EmailAddress) 
    elseif A<>"Automation" then 
        Account.Banned = False 
        SendEmail(Template2, Account.EmailAddress) 
    endif 
elseif 
    Exit 
Endif

Now in C++

If ( user_actions() = bot_detection() ) {
ban_account(account);
Send_Automated_User_Email(account.email, redundent_email_template_baned_botting);
Set_BanGm(GetCurrent_GM());
}

later on

if user.complains {
Send_Gm_Email(Get_GM_Grade2_Email(Get_BanGm(user)->g2_email), Get_BanGm(user)->gm_no, Get_BanGm(user)-> user_no, user_actions(timeperiod));
}

The rest has to be delt with a human interaction.

[Depherios]

Woo! *collective sigh of relief*
