My friend is still logged in the game before I got banned.
How would I acquire the chat log? It's about an hour ago.

Please respond

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
the higher global chats are very social and they have been known to do this just to let people into the channel or get rid of people they don't like.

the same tactics are used here in the forums as well and sadly much worse because they don't want your feedback to be read.
Innocence forgives you

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!
This is exactly what I needed!

In case anybody is interested. Here is the file!
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hh2xiuMgH636VYikiqJ8C2FspzYgSuBP/view?usp=drive_link

My name is kakgrean
Basically what happened was:
1. A group of people was discussing about reporting somebody else (which I wasn't a part of).
2. Another unrelated person tried to ask for a price on an item.
3. I jokingly answered they could sell it to me for 1 thai baht.
4. The group that was discussing earlier mocked then reported me because it's funny or something.

I will try to get my friend's chat log too tomorrow as he was logged on while it all happened.

That would do it. GGG is very strongly against RMT, so anything that looks like it is at risk of triggering a cluebat. The log shows you were muted 54 seconds after making the comment and locked 12 seconds after the mute.

The delays between the 3 events make me suspect it was multiple people reporting you rather than a fully automatic system.

Hopefully the disconnect between the value of an Ingenuity belt (even with a bad roll) and the value of 1 bhat (about $0.03 US) will be enough to convince the human who looks at your appeal in a few months that your comment was just a very ill advised joke.

That is the most bullshit thing I've ever encountered.
The system just autobans you from a few reports.

A group of friends could coordinate reports to ban anybody they want.

And yes, it was a coordinated mass reporting.
The people in chat even said so themselves!

Paid 700 baht just to get my money stolen for a "i'll buy it form you for 1 bux" joke is so scammy, I might issue a chargeback on my credit card.

How did you know the reason for being locked
I was locked in without even knowing the reason

People in the chat were discussing about reports and banning, then just moments after that they announced that they mass reported me.
Then I got instantly banned.

That led me to believe there is a system that just automatically bans you if a number of people reported you.

When I was locked out of my account, it told me the specific comment I'd made in Global that was the cause. I assumed it was some moderator playing god, but I didn't think about mass reports. Either one would be ridiculous for triggering account Lockouts; let alone mine, which is 168 hours, for answering a question with an objective fact.
I think there is indeed an automated system that just automatically bans you based on the number of reports you received.
This is worse than a ban from gameplay. This is a complete lockout from accessing your account. I have an extra license I can't access because I'm not just banned from chat or playing the game, I can't even log in the website. Over something I said in chat. Which also happens to be an objective fact.
