Just so you guys have a much better analogy to use, along with a precedent for unknowingly aiding in a criminal matter, I suggest you look up the expression, "His name is Mudd!"
A doctor has a man show up with a broken leg, so he offers the man medical attention and afterwards the man leaves. The man turned out to be John Wilkes Booth on the run after killing Lincoln. Dr. Mudd was arrested for aiding and abetting a criminal, and though he was eventually released, the doctor lost everything he had for helping a person in need, which doctors swear in their oath to do.

If I had been on, it's quite possible I might have been caught up in this since I like helping people and have no fucking clue who is/was a banned character. It would suck, but justified or tyrannical decision, it's still just a damn game. It's not exactly hard to level a toon, I soloed several.
It's human nature to feel like no one has ever suffered or been oppressed as much as you have, but try to get a little wider perspective on this situation. If the worst thing that happens to you in your lifetime, or even in the last year, occured in the course of playing a video game, I'd say you're a lucky motherfucker.

If all my characters got banned it wouldn't even be the worst thing to happen to me in the last couple weeks. So, let's try and calm down and try collected and well-mannered approach, because insulting people is just going to make them more defiant.

Deru did say in one of his first posts that there will be exceptions for those who merely played middleman and did not receive items for themself. If you are truly innocent you should be confident you will be cleared and playing again soon, and enjoy the vacation from the computer. It is probably long overdue.
