I HAVE NEVER USED ANY CHEATS OR PROGRAMS WAS I HACKED!? WHY DO I HAVE to wait 24 hours for a response this is nuts.
Account Action: Account Closure
Offense: Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized Cheat Programs (Hacks)
This account was closed for use of unauthorized cheat programs, also known as hacks or bots. These programs provide character benefits not normally achievable in the game and detract from the integrity of the World of Warcraft game environment.
Even though you say you dont use programs like that, there are some programs and overlays that may trigger blizzards warden. Some mouse and keyboard software is really bad for that. Especially if it lets you program macros or anything that looks like automation.
Bottom line here blizzard wont take ur word for it here appeal and keep appealing till they tell you to stop.
This is as far as this needs to go we arenāt allowed to discuss account actions here period especially since the blues have gone home for the nite and. Iām 99% certain wed just go in circles till the blues come in in the morning.
this is the the only thing I did, follow a bot, report itā¦
Irrelevant that woudlnt cause ur account closer.
I still dont get why players waste there time folowing bots around theres better things to do right click and reporting does way more then folowing and videoing etc If the bots have warmode turned on by all means knock ur self out bu what real purposed other then wasting ur time does folowing a bot do.
because it was farming for what seemed days at a time in the same area i was farmingā¦ and i wanted to ascertain it was a bot by following it for a bitā¦ to see if its movements were legitimate or not? This is the reason i got banned I guarantee it . Either that or the fact i have Master MX 3s mouse and they didnāt like the scroll wheel lolā¦
Cleaning up old posts! 
I didnāt follow it for days dudeā¦ i followed it for like 5 mins
Cleaning up old posts!
I didnāt think people could get away with botting 3-4 days in a row, they were responding to me when I was like o hey are you botting?.. so I had to make sure that I wasnāt falsely flagging someone for bottingā¦ hence the post about neural networkingā¦ I thought maybe it beat the systemā¦ LOL now I am banned, yea appealing but i think this mentality in the forum of guilty until proven innocent is pretty backwardsā¦ people make mistakes even blizzard employees
Whispering really isnāt a good way to determine botting.
Should not let that worry you. If you think someone is, report and move on.
Now, bots are never banned here or there. They are always banned in a mass ban wave to give them little to no warning that theyāve been detected.
But - it is extremely unlikely that what you claim is the reason for the account action.
More often than not, it could simply be something to do with a programmable keyboard/mouse that has been set up (either intentionally or unwittingly) that breaches the āone action per keypressā rule.
Cleaning up old posts!
Its an account closure dude.
I multibox, I do it 100% legit.
I was caught in the same area as a glider, mouse wheel up and down on inactive windows with a mouse.
Is there some new rule Iām not aware of?
interact with target + mouse-wheelā¦ = heās farming efficiently lets ban him
or followed a bot caught in the algorithm = banned
So you were controlling characters in another client window without that window being your active client at the time?
We are not permitted to do anything that would streamline playing. That means you are unable to do anything at all that would allow you to control characters outside of your current active client.
Blizzard post about policy update on multiboxing rules: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/policy-update-for-input-broadcasting-may-2021/956613
Mind you that this is pure conjecture and should be taken with a grain of salt - I recall a few months back there was a wave of suspensions for people that had macroād their scroll wheel. It seemed to be a common thread, but this was never verified by Blizzard (which, to be honest, most things are not). Especially with scroll wheel macros, spells or actions can fire off too quickly and can seem like automation.
And Iāll admit, I typed that up before finishing out the thread with your bit on multiboxing. So either can be the cause of it.
Itās foolish to think following assumed bots around would do anything. If that were the case, weād be flooded here with similar reports. A lot of the population feel the need to follow, interact and stalk supposed bots or illegal multiboxers. I personally donāt understand it, but itās their time and money being frittered away.
Appeal your sanction, thatās all you can do. Even though our SFAs will often try to pop in and offer some sort of insight into things, there really isnāt anything they have provided in the past for this particular category of sanction.
Also, asterisk-ing out a vulgarity is no different than typing it outright. I can understand your frustration, but the language is unnecessary and against the rules to boot. Especially when Kyzera was just making sure you knew the policy. If you were streamlining in any fashion, thatāll bite you.
Good luck to you in your appeals.
āWhile we encourage you to report players that are behaving in a disrespectful manner, falsely reporting another player with the sole intent of restricting their gameplay is also unacceptable and will result in penalties to your account.ā - I was banned for flagging a botting account. ?

Is this a gaslight or something?
No, you were not.
Youāre taking everything to the extreme.
Did you even read what you copied and pasted?
If you were to falsely report someone over and over with the intent of getting their account actioned, then that will result in penalties against you.
Generally, reporting a bot will not get you actioned, even if they arenāt botting.
I reported them once maybe twice!? On every account that I owned because I thought I had the rite to do soā¦ either way this has nothing to do with the original sanction - āOffense: Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized Cheat Programs (Hacks)ā . This is a kangaroo court or something? Starting to think the bots were blizzardā¦
Well, seeing as there isnāt a court to start with, itās rather pointless to bring that up. Bottom line is this:
Regardless of what you think or believe caused the account action; itās meaningless as Blizzard only use their logs and nothing else in determining account actions. If their logs show proof of such, theyāre going to upheld the action. Posting on the forums has no bearing on it, nor does it mean anything whatās said here.
