Confused as Hell

[Bakedzeina]

So I spammed saying that my friend was quiting and giving away gold, not a lot but enough as a joke. I was eventually contacted by a GM and they said something about checking my email and I asked them if I was going to get suspended and he said something like I might not be able to talk for a day. So I check my e-mail and get this :

Which confuses me because its basically saying Im Banned, but I can log onto my account management page and I am logged into WoW right now, wtf? And getting getting a permanent ban over something stupid like this, wtf?

They think you're a gold seller?

My friend had a ban and he could still play for about a week and then the ban hammer hit him...Could be fake though.

I don't know doesn't make sense though, I shouldn't be banned over something dumb like this which is what they are saying but at the same time I am not banned.

Account closure is perma ban iirc
Looks like that joke fired backwards.

Best bet is to appeal to them saying that you are extremely sorry and that it was just a joke etc. Worked for my sister.

Thats what I told the GM, I said it was a joke on mine FRIEND. And the GM was like I probably won't be able to talk for a day or something. But the email says my account is closed when I can still play on it.

Thank God, Just got a whisper from a GM and they said it was a mistake and they gave me the lowest infraction possible.
