So that's how GGG does it?

We're unable to comment on specific accounts and actions that have been taken, however, I thought this might be a good time to point out that we are able to silently ban accounts and we do this with some frequency.

What I mean by this is that often we will lock an account in lieu of banning it. This means that nothing will appear externally on the account to indicate that it has been closed. This only appears for the player. This means that not all accounts that have been banned will show as 'Banned' on the forums.

I assure you that we take all reports of this nature very seriously and we investigate each one as thoroughly as we can. Please don't be disheartened :)
