Banned but then unbanned immediately?

Hello, it's already the second time this thing is happening: I get kicked from the server, I try to log in and I see the account is banned. So (with a lot of heartbeating, like 'what did I do now?') I go into the website and find out nothing is wrong. So i log in again and I can enter the game.

The first time happened while I was scanning the Auction House with Auctioneer.
The second time I had like 600-700 Azure Pigments in bags and I pressed "Create all" to create Inks o the Sea, I went to bed (since it was taking time) and when I woke up I found the account disconnected and banned permanently. Then I logged into the website, logged again in game and everything was okay, and the account was still in good standing.

So is anyone experience this? I mean is there some false trigger that may occour? In both cases I mentioned it's an automated process, and allowed in game but my guess is it has been flagged by "bot" somehow.

Thanks let me know

Greetings

One possibility is that you were banned for advertising (vpn or someone used your address for advertising). This means, that you are banned on web site, but not ingame. You can still log-in. The account was disconnected because of an automatic 30 min dc (expect u use a bot to avoid this).

Another possibility is that you had anti-cheat or violations bans which could take a short period (maybe 5-15mins) but your "good standing" is away after. It's only shown for 1-2 days til it's changed to "normal". Maybe some of your addons are illegal and anti-cheat banned you for using pqr or other automatic addons/bots

Anyway, it's strange that you are banned "permanently" ingame and not on website...

Thanks for the reply, well my addons are only Auctioneer, gladius, gladiminish, sound alerter, dbm, recount and other normal things. The only thing that makes me think is Auctioneer mass-posting or scanning, that is something that may be trigger a false "bot detection", but I'm not sure what happened. Pqr definitely not, I'm not using that, or similar LUA unlockers, I don't even need them.
The other ban I got was while using the in-game function "Create All" by crafting with 1 click all Inks from Pigments, not using TSM or similar, I just opened Inscription and crafted all materials, and got banned somehow.
And after 1 week of this topic, I checked the "delay" of the account status and luckily it is still in good conditions, but I can remember perfectly the login screen with the "permanently closed" text, it really scared me.
I think about the vpn thing as u said but again, my account is in good standing so that definitely didn't happen. I don't know let's hope this doesn't happen again.

Usually this is caused when the anti-cheat detects a "cheater", but this is not always the case, and there can be false positives.
Additionally, it may be related to a temporary IP range ban, or perhaps an accidental ban due to a typo from a GM.
