Banned Feb 21 2014 - Appealed.

[kulture]

I was quest grinding a warlock alt, all was well. I then disconnected and when I tried to relog I was banned. I appealed and got a 72 hour ban by pretty much saying "This is bullshit, I'm a dedicated player with no stacked toons or lots of gold etc." I really only play so I don't have to mash buttons and I don't farm, just thought I'd let you all know, bad luck I guess.

Seems odd, does your combat routine use a felhunter?

Kick's Profile is VERY COMMON. I was 100% supervising my bot last night and I noticed there were at least 2 people moving over the same hotspots doing the same quests as me, so I stopped the bot and logged off. And I only bot for around 6 hours a day, on a rogue that's perma-steathed, so if it was that common for me during 6 hours I'm guessing you overlapped with a 100% supervised bot and he reported you, or someone else noticed.

Use LogMeOut and set it to very conservative times for people 'following' you (I set it to 2 minutes).

Use Jumpy or that Open Map plugin. When there are multiple bots in an area, set yourself apart from the rest and don't act the same way. Jump sometimes, stop and open your map, sit down under a tree and AFK for a minute when there are a lot of people in the area. Honorbuddy is very common and talked about on popular streams/forums. Popular profiles like Kicks can still be used but you have to set yourself apart from the rest. Supervise your bot and never bot for more than an hour without pausing the bot or doing something random. It just isn't safe.
