I have been unfrozen, but I wasn't banned for the same reason. My account was "frozen to protect" or wtfever. Took me almost a year to get my account back, 6months before I was even responded to.
I'm not sure about SS. How obvious was it?
Tbh I don't fully understand how they got round to icing me.. I got my score reviewed a few times and carried on playing for a good 3 months with no problems.
Then I didn't access my account for around 2 months, came back and it had been frozen. It shouldn't have been TOO obvious, as I meticulously check and create my own lists.
Suppose it's just a waiting game. I'm not even fussed about anything on the account, it's just that it was my baby for 6 years

lol.
