How would Blizzard's remote software tell whether i was pressing the keys

hmmm, no way, they are guessing, just using s-ware for extrapolation.
Maybe if a toon is too 'long' in one place? no pst's during play? just
sounds too easy, maybe they just scan ur HD for Glider?
I did read some posts about people using linux, or a programmable
keyboard who also got band. They didn't get a chance to explain to blizz
what was going on, there is no way of negotiating. Even friends of them
who posted on the official warcraft forums couldn't post anything anymore
after a while.
You will find that during the last glider-banwave, a lot of Linux users
using Cedega (sp?) to run WoW under Linux got banned by mistake ("false
positive" is the proper term here). As far as I know, most of them got their
accounts back and the warden was adjusted. From what I read on the official
CSF forums during the past days, no linux users got hit by the banhammer
this time.
Also, the Blizz posters on the CSF forums posted the link to get in touch
with Account Admin for people who were of the opinion that they were
unjustly banned. As far as I know Blizzard will review such cases in their
logs and revoke a ban if it was unjustified. Of course, with 300'000+ people
banned, the backlog on this path might be a nasty surprise for the true
victims of a false positive at the moment...
Think this is just a thing of the times we live in. [snip] there is
almost no kind of costumer service. its just easyer, and more important
cheaper to not have a big and expensive helpdesk. just ignore the
complaints and get more clients. Those who take the step to get a lawyer
are rare.Because the ammount of money involved does not cover the expense
or the effort they have to put in.
I agree with you in principle. And I can't say whether Blizzard fit in with
the majority or whether they are the nice exception to the rule or not.
However, I have read posts by people who were banned by mistake and got
their accounts back and the time lost credited to their account, so at least
their revision process seems to work.
And yes, I saw your other post with the link to the guy banned for running
linux but did not follow the link to read the post. I don't know if he is
the unlucky exception who did not get his account back during the last ban
wave, or if he did but only later and posted his stuff beforehand or if he
was the one linux user that did cheat in addition to playing on linux or...
I am just saying, there is evidence that Blizzard corrects bans that were
unjustified.
But I agree with Walker that some software detecting program is not
flawles, and might get innocent people banned. Imagen it happens to you,
and you have no way defending yourself or get your account back,.....
But you do have a way. Get in touch with Account Admin and they will
investigate your case.
As I was saying, I don't have first hand information on this, maybe someone
else can enlighten us to what it is like to interact with AA...
Cheers
