So I don't know if anyone saw me or not. But my last account was CyborgPirateNinjaJesus.
That was my old account. I just got banned... Unjustly.
Supposedly I Was botting when I wasn't. I don't even know where to get a bot or use one for that matter. The only program on my computer that may be mistaken as a "bot" would be my Game Boy Advance Emulator. So now I am down 25 million plus whatever my account was worth. I'm going to try appease it. If that means have them take it back. But I don't know what will happen.

Extremely weird. All you can really do is submit a ticket and keep pestering them about it until they do something.

Wow that sucks, I used to see you in Exchange a lot.

Gaia can't trace programs on your computer so it's VERY unlikely that it had anything to do w/ your GBA program.

There are two possible things that I can think of that may have happened.
1. Someone had a hold of botted gold and traded with you. When they got caught/banned Gaia unfortunately thought you were another account of theirs and banned you as well.
2. The person was being an a** and decided to go on a 'lets see how many people I can get banned rampage.' Basically they get as much botted gold/hacked items as possible and try to trade it to as many accounts as possible (many of them to unknowing people) to try to ban them purposely.

Best thing to do is what Shima said, fill out a ticket and pester them. (just wait a week or so before pestering them)

What Cryptex says is true. I just wanted to add that there's another possibility. I don't know if I'm getting the details right, but apparently some botters know how to steal IP addresses as a method for covering their tracks, so when they bot they essentially "disguise" their IP address with an innocent user's IP address. I don't know how they do it or any other details, only that it happens and that I've come across a couple of users who were banned for botting and were given their accounts back after an investigation found that someone had used them in the method described above.

To contest the ban, fill out a customer support ticket and respond to it regularly.

I've only been accused of boting a couple of times. I tend to just surf the site really fast when I'm bored so they think I'm using something.
