Question: I have never encountered a ban/suspension before. I haven't received an email yet and on the wow forums its says
Origination: In-game Activity
Ban Type: N/A
Expires: Permanent
Ban Reason: N/A
Should I call and ask blizzard tomorrow about my ban or is it over? I really don't know what to do . Any suggestion from fellow botters that have experienced this and reacquired their accounts would be greatly appreciated!

Wait until you receive a email then respond to that with your appeal

I just mailed them that since they have no proof that we did it, i mean i wasnt caught redhanded, i just disconnected and boom, i was suspended too. I mean shouldnt a gm pop and ask you something and if you dont talk then be suspended ? I dont get it. What if your char gets up fast, what if you are making 150 auctions a day ? That doesnt mean shit.

Its very much possible they've been tracking you for a while.
If you've been marked, they track you for a while, once their certain they mark you as a bot, wait a while and ban you along with alot of other bots as scare tactics.

I have yet to receive any email from blizzard. Is this normal? If so, how long does it usually take? If its not normal to take this long...is that a bad sign ?

I finally got an email and this is what it says:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Notice of Account Closure***

Account Name: ***************

Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized Cheat Programs ("Hacks")

This account was closed because one or more characters were identified using an unauthorized cheat program, also known as a "hack." These programs provide character benefits normally not achievable in the World of Warcraft. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, increased speed, teleportation, or running through walls/boundaries. Use of these unauthorized programs harms the game environment because they offer an unfair advantage over other players and supersede the intended limits of the game.

Even if this is the result of account sharing, the account owner can still be held responsible for the penalty because of the impact it had on the game environment.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rest of it just has links to review the policy and what not. I want to appeal of course. How should I go about doing this? Please help
