Account banned.

I recently tried to log in and on forums it says I have been banned for lockbox bot but I dont use a bot. My theory is the GM though I was botting but if you check your source codes you will see I wasnt. I need to speak to someone about my account my char is unpopularpie. Some info on how long the ban would be or appeal process would be helpful... I assume botting is a perm ban and I wasnt botting. Since it is taking awhile for response I will just put down my method to farm... I overlap my video player over my wow client just enought owere I can see the box still . I shove a penny in my shift key so it auto loots all items. I change my key bindings to where my right click is used on my space bar on keyboard and I sit at my bed while I watch a movie and press spacebare to activate the lockbox... since the penny is in keyboard it auto loots the box.... I dont see how this is banable considering I am still entering the key commands. The only thing i can think of that is slightly sketchy is using the penny to help ease looting... I also use a loot addon that from my knowledge is jsut a normal addon that deletes junk items in inventory... My entire setup is all done by me not a bot... Im just usually watching a movie over the UI so I can barely see the box... Since my keybinding is on my keyboard my mouse never moves... To me this seems all legit but if a GM or moderator would explain how I violated your terms that would be super... and yes I farm for hours doing this... that is how I watch my game of thrones. P.S... the lockbox is on a 8second timer so its easy to use muscle memory on timing my spacebar.

I still have not been helped with the issue... Can someone please contact me with this matter? I feel like a permanent ban for using a video overlay on my UI to farm shouldnt be a permanent ban... I did not use any foreign applications to assist with farming... Just changed key binding and overlapped my video player... Please respond....

Thanks in advance@!

I thank you kindly... If how i was farming would be inappropriate i can certainly not do it... But the only thing i used to help farm was a Loot filter addon that from what i know is a normal addon... also I dont believe there was ever a lockbox bot ever created considering on vanilla servers boxes had a much slower spawn.

But you still can have mouseclicking programs that repeat your actions indefinitely, like Tasker. So you don't need a bot and probably didn't use one, just another software that manipulated your gameplay LOL.

How is my way of farming botting? I used no outside programs. A further explanation on how the GM who banned me can confirm I was botting just because I didnt respond to a whisper or something?
