A brief account of what happened: I made a character on the PvP server on Friday. A real life friend gave me items as well as gold to get me started. I logged in on Saturday morning and went to stormwind to ask people that have items I want on the auction house for a better price. This could be nothing, but I was put on ignore and moments later it started to lag, then got disconnected, and then it said that my account had been closed. The website said that my account had been permanently banned. I logged in on Saturday evening and my account was no longer closed. I continued to ask people that have items I want on the auction house for a better price. A short time later it started to lag, then got disconnected, and then it said that my account had been closed again. This time the website gave no reason, simply "Enjoy your stay on Nostalrius!". 5 minutes later Game Master Tyrael advised that I try logging in again. It worked. My account was no longer closed. While questing in Elwynn Forest, I whispered a player about a quest. Moments later it started to lag, then got disconnected, and then it said that my account had been closed once again. Notice a pattern? Game Master Tyrael and I spoke privately. Game Master Tyrael stated they are investigating it further.
Just a couple of things I would like to add. There's a general trend that I am noticing. A number of people are experiencing similar situations as myself.

He recently starting playing on this private server as well and only made it to level 6.
"Went to stormwind to ask what level the instance under the city was and if anyone wanted to run it. Shortly after I was disconnect and now my account says it is permanently banned but gives no explanation."
This is similar to what I did except I went to stormwind to ask people that have items I want on the auction house for a better price.

He was apparently banned on the new PvE server at level 3 (the same level I was banned). In case anyone doesn't know, whispering is locked until level 3. Coincidence? I think not.

This could be nothing, but the exact same thing happened to me. It started to lag, then got disconnected, and then it said that my account had been closed.
The purpose of this post is to help any game masters with my case and more importantly, others. It is quite apparent that there is something wrong, and it seems to be a fairly new problem.
