Shame on you guys, it was indeed some sort of accident, now we start seeing reports people got their account back.

Greetings,

Recently, a StarCraft II account under your Battle.net account was actioned
for potential violations of our Terms of Use. Upon further review of the
action taken upon this account, we reversed the action previously applied.


Reason for Action: Use of 3rd Party Programs
Previous Account Action: Closure
New Account action: Warning

Please note that while the action has been overturned, we still urge users to
be cautious when utilizing any sort of 3rd party program that may interact
with StarCraft II. Any modification of the executable or the way it runs is
in direct violation of the Battle.net Terms of Use.

In the end, we want Battle.net to be a fun and safe environment for all
players. It is to this end that we enforce our Battle.net Terms of Use and
In-Game Policies (http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/SC2policies

I'm worrying about they got accounts back and will use cheats, harassment or frame up people and make people have lost friends again, there's no making up excuse anymore when Blizzard warned to taiwanese for long time ago, they still need to follow BNet terms of use for all the time.

As unreasonable as it sounds, Blizzard has the full rights to do whatever they just did.
You all have signed the agreement when opening that battle.net account, So respect their authority!

You talk like if somewhere in the User licence it said your soul will be theirs, and that you'll have to work for them after you turn 18, for free, it gives them full rights to go ahead and actually do it.

I mean, its pretty clear that Blizzard banned these people because their anti-hack was turning up false positives, I dont think you need to worry about the vast, vast majority of these players being cheaters.

Why are you trying so hard to make the Taiwanese seem like villains? Do you have a grudge or something?

There has been some madness in Taiwan right now,
not because of the server merge between TW server and KR server,
but because of the account ban just occurred hours ago.

Lots of people has been baned by Blizzard,(hundreds or more)
but there has been a lot people saying that they'd never use any hack programs or any add-ins.


People had been telephoning BlizzardTW for information and help, but in vain.
Now some people are shouting out to gather up and ask the Consumer Protection Commission for help.

There are some that suspected an error had happened to the server while moving the data from TW server to KR server. But everything now is unclear.

We wish the best for the people who had been misbanned, and ashame those who use illegal add-ons.

Update:
The people who got banned, received a letter from Blizzard, of course,
But the interesting thing is that the Sender of the E-mail is not "Blizzard-Starcraft" but "Blizzard-World of Warcraft" and it is not written in Chinese or English either, it is written in Korean which most people can't understand.
This news is from Bahamut, the largest gaming forum in Taiwan.

Update:
Now there are people recording stats of how many players been banned, and how many are not.

Red is banned, Blue is safe not banned.
This document updates every 5 minutes.

Now is like 39.36% of people has been banned...

There is a poll being held in Taiwan, because of so many people being banned,
Currently 714 people has answered the poll,
281 got banned, 39.36% of total
463 uses RC, 64.85% of total

For those who got banned:
253 are using RC, 90.04% of those being banned

For those who use RC:
253 are banned, 54.64% of those using RC.

Update:

This is silly,
someone got banned and opened the mail sent by Blizzard,
and this what he saw:

1. Look at below, his account is a*********@hotmail.com,
JEFF*****@yahoo.com.tw is not his account.
2. The Player ID is blank.
3. The owner of this Email said he didn't use any third party programs.

This is getting hilarious.
