is just clueless about the game

I know you and other hopefuls are hoping to get their accounts back from a long term ban. Keep in mind accounts expire after 90 days of inactivity and are available to re-creation after that time.

Once you are perma banned, you are banned. Blizzard doesn't lift any ban.

"temp" bans are only server based and fully automated and last like... under a day anti spam restrictions. Realm Downs are realm only related temporary bans. Arguably these aren't even real bans, but again, more like anti-spam/ restrictions than what I'd classify as a true ban.

The only times Blizzard may lift a ban is when there is severe media backlash from the punishment they administered, IE: Sara Andrews vs Blizzard Entertainment regarding an unwarranted ban to prevent "harassment" due to her creation of an LGBT friendly guild on World of Warcraft.

Blizzard does not ban accounts that were not caught hacking. Blizzard does not ban accounts that were on Keys that had other accounts on it that were caught hacking. Blizzard only bans accounts that were caught hacking. Rarely they will ban for harassment purposes, EXTREMELY rare. The only explanation I can offer is, the person claiming to own the item didn't actually have it and got banned. The person who owned the item didn't have it on the account that was banned. It was on a friends account. They were sold before said ban. The person was never actually banned.

The exceptions are usually related to CD-keys being temporarily banned, but that is an entirely different matter all together.

10/10.

blizzard doesnt unban, the ban flag disappears due to a bug
blizzard doesnt delete old inactive accounts anymore (just sometimes when they do a maintenance or someone recreates it) like characters
after ~1 year of inactivity the ban flag disappears

10/10

what kataklysmus said is true in relation to the ban.

These are generally agreed to be the best javs that have ever existed and no mati jav's can compare to these. They were banned along with probably the top 10% of all D2 items in the huge ban from a couple of years ago. its a fact that alot of those banned accounts are now unbanned. The only javs that compare is similar IAS ED ETH REP 4xx Stygians and there are maybe 2-3 known across all realms.

eh hehehe obviously i offered on these items 3 years ago, and obviously i offered on them again when I saw that they have become unbanned.

here are most (but not all) across all realms javs that can be compared (see last page). i use brianpowers old ones at the moment: http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=31834432&f=103&o=200

here is a discussion on matri's vs stygians. stygians are simply better when the ed is the same due to non-class specific weapons getting a higher damage bonus: http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=39912235&f=103&o=120

While you may or may not be correct, I was fairly certain that expiration and deletion only upon someone else recreating it, only applied to characters not accounts. If this is true, the battle.net's terms of use agreement is out of date :3

(xi) any accounts and their associated information and characters that are inactive for ninety (90) days will be deleted

Haha, I remember that one. Of course it depends on the stat allocation. There may be some scenarios where Matris beats Stygians :3

read katak's below post. he is correct

im currently waiting for a few accs of pre patch goodies to get unflagged.

although i had some good names so i doubt it ever will be

If you read my above post you'll see me acknowledging that possibility.

By the way @ ferdia: http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=39912235&f=103&p=267506066
