Stings.. got me banned?

[Y2mage_Warrior]

Says Account Closed(6) when I try to log on. I only used Reveal Map, not the plugin. All I did was mf 20 runs and then when I made ng.. Diablo closed and bam Acct Closed(6). I'm wondering.. Is blizz checking Stings now, or did I get banned for a different reason..

[Madisson]

Seems that stings mh isnt save anymore..^^

i use only d2-loader and no ban :O

Used at the begin of the new season Easymap and were banned... both 2 cd-keys but only for one MOnth :')

I have been using stings for over 2 1/2 months now. I was using all last night and today and no bans yet for me hopefully won't either. and what is (6) i have always had (8) on mine

[Potter]

maybe (numerical value) could refer to the months of ban..6 months..8 months..etc..I can't speak to well on it though I've never been banned..

[Y2mage_Warrior]

(8) means perm account and temp or perm cd key ban. 6 means.. I don't know. I email bliz about it. 1st offense of (8) is 1 month cd key ban and perm acct ban. 2nd (8) is Perm acct and cd key ban

The #'s represent what you did.

[RaZzor]

I don't know why you got banned, but it's not b/c of Stings, b/c if you got caught by using hacks, you'll get the message "Your account has been closed (8)"

[Doono]

i think 6 means innopropriate use of a bot. You aint been using a chat bot or something have you?

[PoweredDeath]

(8) represents that you violated section 8 in their EULA (Which is hacks)

Because you got (6) it was not becuase of hacks but because of something else.

[Osirus]

so whats the verdict stings still going strong safe wise?

[its me]

(6).. but I didn't use bot... and I made my acct myself..

well you must have used something even if it was for a second or configed stings wrong
i use stings ans mp's and no ban/closed accounts even if stings was detectible it loads in
such little time and warden will have to be pretty fast to catch it

well if you need help creating a new char im on west ladder let me know and ill see what i can do!

[Y2mage_Warrior]

I thought that (6) is for bot only? I didn't use a bot. Why did they ban me with (6)? and I don't use D2Loader.. just stings.. I used plugin though, for like 10 seconds literally. and IF blizzard detected it, why did my other friends get banned? NONE of them got banned and 9 of my friends used stings.

[jackass88]

plugin? thats some bullshit blizz has banned you for the wrong offence:p
