As stated, it sounds like you were one of the accounts that got caught up in the huge ban wave. I'd imagine they used an automated system or had a set of criteria with which they identified which accounts to ban, which would obviously lead to some false flags. Many people who were previously hacked and their accounts used nefariously for example were likely banned because of this. So if they had a 95% success rate with the bans, which would be pretty great, and banned over 3,000 accounts, you'd still be looking at over 150 accounts falsely banned.
Hopefully they'll be able to identify these accounts and rectify the situation. It sucks that your account was one of the ones caught in the blast, and I hope it gets resolved quickly.
