***Notice of Account Closure***
Account Name: MYACCOUNTNAMEHERE
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.
We've found the above behavior is many times directly related to groups responsible for compromising World of Warcraft accounts; we take these issues very seriously. To better understand our position against exploitative activity and the risks involved, please review this article: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/services/anti-gold/
The exploitative activity that took place on this account violates the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. We ask you take a moment to review these terms at http://us.blizzard.com/company/legal/index.html. Note that additional Terms of Use violations may result in more severe actions against this account, up to and including permanent closure.

So as many of you, I got banned yesterday with the massive banwave. I freaked out a bit because I'm usually very careful but like I said I haven't done much on the monitoring on the past 2 days, so I figured I got a server report, til I came here and saw everyone had been banned too. So I open a ticket and after thinking for a while, I basically played the dumb girlfriend part, and said I had no idea why my account was closed, and that I only did mining/herbing as a distraction and that I had several dks on that account because I go where my boyfriend goes and could I please get it unlocked?
Today I got this:

So I guess they didn't have proof I was botting, just that it looked like I was.
