I have it back but I am wondering do i put my items on a mule? will they ban me again? or something go wrong? o.O I feel weird using my main account... I dont fish or play any games all I do is post here and check market a bit, I am scared to do to much on it now o.O and where I heard that using dif comps in public areas may have been a reason i was banned.. I fear using the computer lab at college and the library now...o.o has anyone else felt so weird they worry about this stuff? I even put my password in wrong a few times and its worried me sweatdrop

I'm a tad paranoid too. I finally got the reply PM from Gaia saying they saw suspicious activity and are giving me a second chance. I also wonder if it's not to do with using three different computers to access Gaia, which I explained clearly in my ban appeal report. I've been trying not to access Gaia at work just to keep from it looking bad. Luckily work's been busy lol!

I created a fishing-only mule too, out of my paranoia. It's okay though, I like dressing up avis smile

Very much so... I haven't played a single game on this account again... I don't buy or sell too much, don't try to use towns and don't even watch any trailers from the latest sponsors. neutral I traded all my fishing gear to my Synergy II... and might use her for fishing in future. It's just they sound so sure of themselves that we did do something to deserve this and will be banned if we do it again.

Same here !

I only sit around in the art freebies with my main and don't play a single Gaian game anymore except on my mule (this account).
I'm still paranoid about being falsely accused of botting ...

I love fishing, but right now it gives me the creeps ... I have all my plus rods here, yet haven't fished. So scared to lose the joker hat =/

Yes, extremely paranoid that anything I do will send out their little "red flag" again. I send things to my mule account from my main all of the time and now I have been carefully labeling each trade in the hopes it doesn't look like a "hacker" or something.

I'm not as paranoid as I was. I gave up saying I wouldn't fish and do other stuff. Why should I make myself suffer when I know I'm not guilty of anything? It would be purposeless for me to say I fought to get my account back just to lounge around. xd

I am, however, labeling all trades to my mules now...though I still have that voice in the back of my head saying, "What difference does it make? They could just as easily say the labeling is still suspicious." I have my account back now, but I still can't say I feel safe. I'm just enjoying my account while I can and hoping they never falsely accuse/block/ban me (or anyone else) again.

We've all suffered enough from the Mar 10th incident. There's no need for us to limit what we do here as long as we know we aren't doing anything wrong.

I hadn't thought of labeling my mule trades, that's probably a good idea.

I haven't fished since March 10th, and I already had a fishing mule that wasn't touched by any of this. However I had a plus rod on this account as well and I've moved that to a storage mule until I can create a second fishing mule because I don't even want to fish on this account by mistake.

what do you mean by labeling each trade? do you say 'between me and my mule'?

why on earth would gaia think you were a botter if you didnt label your trades. am i missing something?

I've become VERY paranoid. I still carry on as normal ie: play games ect, but i rarely log into this site now, so i have become fairly inactive.

it's nice to know I'm not alone in the weird paranoid feeling, and I dont want to feel that way but I cant help it and if I ever play the games I will more then likely use a mule,

Suppose Gaia got really vindictive and tried to not only ban accounts suspected of botting but every account that might belong to the same person. I know that one way I would do that would be to look at their trades. Any account that they had traded with many times would be a likely suspect. In my own case, the accounts that I have traded with more than once or twice fall into two categories: 1) trades with my mules, which I previously didn't bother to label, and 2) trades with someone running a raffle or game in the Over 30 guild or someone running a charity. For the second group, I've always changed the label/title for the trade to let the other person know what it was for, so it's easy to tell the two groups apart and identify all of my mules. For that matter, a hacker could probably use that technique on a cracked account to look for mules in the hope that they have the same password.
