Account banned after using General Chat?

[cmckinnon1]

Hey - I think my account was marked as a spammer by accident.

Level 5 druid, I was in Stormwind and asked a question in General chat.

User account is --Snip--

Character name was Morninwuud I believe. PVP Realm

[Mimma]

Remove the account name, this is half the information needed for Chinese hackers to hack the account.
All the GM's need is the character and realm name.

It is recommended you do not use the chat channels before you are level 15.

[Ayrus]

Delete your account name and add a character name.
