January 2005 I was banned. As ashamed as I am to say it, I used to auto-type (Merching World 2). However, they didn't have mutes back then. I was instantly permanently banned with over 90M (Which wasn't bad for a level 65... But I have more now ;)). Now, I appealed, of course, and was denied in about an hour. Over 3 years later (2008), I tried the 'Account Review Thread'. I got no reply. When it re-opened in 2009, I resubmitted the account only to get, "It's still under review from the last thread." How much work does it take to see that I auto-typed and it was my first offense?! When I mentioned that I should at most be muted, since they had those now, I got a reply back after 10 minutes of posting that. I was denied.
