Has anyone, ever, put their hands up when banned? -

Has anyone, ever, put their hands up when banned?No, I agree. And forgive my ignorance, but I honestly don’t know who any of these top players are. The one I’m seeing people defend because he’s highly respected and has played in person at SDS apparently received a ban for exploits, which is different from the bans others received for cheating.
All I know is that I was accidentally Companion App restricted earlier this year. I submitted a ticket, SDS manually reviewed my account, and they overturned the ban because I hadn’t done anything wrong.
So while I suspect 95% of those banned probably deserved it, I also know firsthand that mistakes can happen. I’m not going to automatically assume everyone claiming innocence is telling the truth, but I’m also not going to assume every ban is justified.
If someone genuinely did nothing wrong, submitting a ticket and requesting a manual account review is the best way to address it.

Absolutely.
Sadly, their chances of having it sorted are lessened by those who thoroughly deserve the bans but still feel like wasting peoples time by appealing (and lying). -

Ah yes, thanks for the reminder, mate.
I remember a few of those 'i did the wrong thing but it's magically okay because the game is bad' here.

Exactly what I was saying. Just because someone is a “respected player” and maybe wasn’t outright cheating doesn’t mean they weren’t doing something against TOS. This looks an awful lot like exploiting, boosting, or something else shady going on. 64 runs and 19 errors? Come on.

trod had a video showing someone with a box score that had 115 runs in two innings. What exactly is the point of making it that obvious.

Every single person that says they were falsely banned is a scammer. They are good at what they do. They can be very believable.
Goes hand in hand with the personality flaw that caused them to cheat at a video game.

I mean, I wouldn't say every single person. There were a ton of App "bans" earlier this year that were a total mistake. They made it right though and rolled them all back.
