As webhond said, the rate of bans and 72hs here on the section is not different than usual. Anyone, who can invest 10min of his time can doublecheck it for himself.
And as I have read, the Tripware have triggered, because of the US Warden changed its patterns right after the US weekly servers maintenance/restart, but at the same time, EU servers were still 6-7 hours before maintenance, and no new Warden modules fo it.
But from the ban section, I cannot see more bans US side, than EU, so ... its still not related!
