Wow, I leveled to level 5 to be able to use chat because that will be my bank character. And when I got to orgri i just wrote to test if im able to use the chat i wrote like /2 421213 or something like that and when i hit enter i got banned. thats like the only messages i tried to send to a global chat..

btw this happens for the second time on my account... previously i thought there wont be a problem to use a level 1 character for bank like in retail and when i typed in /2 again it auto banned me, and i wrote here again and was unbanned.. then people told me i have to be 5 level minimum to be able to chat in global chats and I leveled this one to 5 level and now the same thing happened
my previous banned bank character for the same thing im talking about 1 level is Xmell, he is in the same account

They will likely unban your toons for this u can check the forums it happens all the time and you have to be 15* not 5 to get around the forums auto detect its a pain sometimes but it helps cut down gold spam more then u can imagine u should have seen how hard it was to find a group/buy/sell in trade before this feature

Thanks for the explanation Jleger20, in retail there is a report spam button and here not so I guess thats the way spam is fought here.
But why does it take so long for the investigation? Cant you just check that i havent even sent 1 message into the main channels..

I made an extremely easy-to-solve ticket days ago, and it still hasn't been answered as of last night. They're very busy, it seems.

Your account has been unbanned. Our apologies for the mistake. Jleger20 gave you a good explanation on why it happened and Robotron explained the delay well. Please minimize use of public chat channels until level 15. Make sure you have no addons that communicate through chat channels in the background.
