Hello,
This message is being sent to you to explain the situation surrounding your account's having been banned for glitch exploitation. Please make sure to read the following message in its entirety as it contains the information you need to know about your account's ban.
Recently, due to a system glitch, your account was accidentally given numerous amounts of game items such as bugs, fish, paper, etc. These items were the result of an accidental error on our part, and while we take responsibility for the granting of these extra items, it is clear from your trade/market history that you chose to abuse this error in an attempt to profit from the situation.
When a user gains items through a site glitch and then uses the situation for personal gain by selling or trading the glitched items, it is considered glitch exploitation which is a violation of the Terms of Service of Gaia Online.
While we feel that you should, given the quantity of items gained, have realized that an error occurred and that you should not have exploited the situation for profit, we also realize that it is possible there was confusion caused by having received the glitched items and that you may not have known the proper procedure for dealing with such issues. Given all this, we have decided to give you the benefit of the doubt and unban your account. We have removed all glitched game items (e.g. bugs, trash, tickets, etc.), items created from glitched game items (e.g. fish hats, paper hats, inks, etc.), non-game items you obtained by selling glitched items, and any gold you made from the sale of glitched items from your account.
In the future, please be aware that anytime you discover glitched items in your inventory (regardless of quantity of items) you are not to sell or trade the items for profit. Please leave the items alone and file a hacking report to have the situation investigated. In the 'Additional Notes" section of the hacking report, please put the phrase "GLITCHED ITEMS" so we know what issue you need resolving. We can then investigate the situation and try and determine what happened. Please know that we now consider you warned and informed about proper procedure should you encounter issues with glitched items again. If you decide to exploit such a glitch again, your account, and any account you use to profit from the glitch, will be permanently banned without appeal.

In addition: On your mule, Mr Botty, there is a pending trade with a Inari's Bead, which was purchased with profits from selling the glitched tokens. Please cancel that trade and reply to this PM so removal can be completed. Failure to get back to us on this will result in your accounts being rebanned.

As you can clearly see, I've been going through a living hell, trying to get my account back, and am quite pleased to be relaxed within holding one renown profile to my name. I guess I'll leave it at that, then.
