So I tried to log in this morning and found my account permenantly banned.
I've gone through your rule set and the only thing I can see i might have broken is my Warrior whose name certainly brakes the one about no nameing of drugs. I didn't know that was an issue and certainly not while one of the best guilds on horde side is named "Dank Budz". I named it statirically but i can see how the name might offend someone though as of yet no one has said anything and i doubt it was the reason i was banned since i have barely used it these last couple of months. Also - i think it hardly warrents a ban when a warning would have been enough for me to delete it instantly.
The other thing I've done a lot lately have been spawning infernals in the tree in orgrimmar. You mention on your rules that you don't want people to spawn demons in starting zones and I'd hardly consider Orgrimmar a starting zone. Still a warning would have sufficed and i would have stopped imidiately.
On Twitter i see you have banned people related to gold trafficing and you might think i'm one of them. Look at the amount of time i've spent in Winterspring farming the elite demons for the priest quest item. I've been calling it "my secret" because i didn't what other people to start farming them and driving down the price on it. Especially since it's uniqe and you have to HS back to a AH when you find one. All my gold have been earn through work or luck in getting fantastic drops like my staff of jordan that i found on my warr https://imgur.com/3ky2o1f (offensive name, i know, i'll delete him if i gain acces back)
I strive to be a good member of the community, often offering boosts, advise, and in some cases free enchants, to people in need. I just joined a raiding guild and i imagien this will hurt my standing with them quite a lot.

Re: Banned
How do i go about having someone investegating my case?
If i could get a definition on what exactly "gold trafficing" means i would be better able to tell if the ban is justified. I've been looking around on the forums since my last post and read about the stuff people complain about and it was advised i explain all mysterious circumstances i've used my gold:
Yes i give to beggers - but always in exchange for doing me a "quest". I read a post about it on the wow subreddit - basically what i do is tell people who beg to go out of org and get my some stuff that drops from the mobs right outside. Typycally it's 8 chucks of boar meat for 1g.
Another instance i can think of was when i tried to transfer som bags to my ally toon where it went horribly wrong. I put up some random stuff i found on the goblin AH for around ~200g and had the intention of buying it with my main in order transfer the money to it. I found out then that you couldn't bid on your own auctions across chars so i made a new account and sent the money to it and bought the thing. I also set up some bags in the goblin AH for ~50g each so that i could buy them with my ally for the money i had transfered. Well turns out that AH takes a cut which i hadn't factored in. All in all a colosol faliure but if you check the logs you'd find out i was me all along, the same IP addresse on both accounts and the second account havn't been touched for a long while. (This happend in the summer i belive) EDIT: I used the same tactic for getting my money back to my horde resulting in double AH fees EDIT2: Never mind that - i already explained EDIT3: the money used for these transactions were the money from my staff of jordan which i sold for 225g: https://imgur.com/2q5Elws
As i'm typing this it comes to mind that i once got an item from one of my friends who were banned later once gave me an item we found. We were doing DM tribute and a pristine black diamond dropped. My friend won the roll and so i asked him if i could buy it off him and he said i didn't have to - that i could just have it. Again it should be in a whisper chat log that i asked him to buy it before i got it.
I understand it can be difficult to investigate my case since i found country-men and spoke Danish with them. Here the key-words you should search are "Låne" "vil gerne ha tilbage" (google translate provides a correct translation) when regards to me giving out money.
Beside the collosal Goblin AH failure i don't see where any amount of money has been transfered from me. I sometimes require fees for my tailoring or enchanting work or recive tips but nothing that i understand could trigger your anti-gold-trafficing messures.
I sencerily hope that you will look further into my case and i'm willing to cooperate with you every steb of the way, cause i firmly belive that i am a false possitive of your anti-gold-trafficing messures.

Re: Banned
Just thought of a couple more instances that might be mistaken for gold trafficing:
Just before the ZG patch came out i sold my mooncloth cd for very low 5g - that was me that hadn't factored in that the patch was on it's way and there's proof of that in the chat log.
Also someone mentioned that they were the victim of a CoD scam - someone once attempted the same with me but i kept the mail in my mail box and took a screen shot because i thought it was funny: https://imgur.com/kTFIQRH . I never took the bait.

Re: Banned
I'm suddenly reminded of another instanse.
I did some enchanting work for a friend of mine. He was playing on a druid twink and he needed some enchants done but didn't have the money on his druid so he borrowed 10g from me and bought the mats for it on the AH. I later got the money sent from his main + a 5g tip. I realise this must be another instanse that would have triggered your scripts because it seemed as if he had them on seperate accounts. - This will however be difficult to investigate as we were speaking danish. EDIT2: His twink was called something with V and his main was a warrior called something like "senjin" or somesuch
EDIT: I recently talked with a requiter and raid leader of my guild and he explained that they have huge trouble finding geared warlocks. I emplore you to please pay my case some attention as it's not just me that suffers but also my guild - whose now having to constantly rely on the only 2 geared lock that they have
