Well apparently Kabam has identified some issues with their code and decided to reverse the ban. See here:

First of all, I want to say thank you to Kabam for investigating this issue and acknowledging the error.

I also want to thank anyone who contributed positively to this thread. There certainly is a lot of unnecessary hostility on the internet but it is especially sad to see in the forums here.

Finally, a bit of constructive criticism for future anti-cheat updates. Please make sure you test this more thoroughly going forward. While bugs are inevitable in any codebase, unlike other bugs, this one hit very personal. It's horrible to be falsely accused, even in a game. I would also suggest not dropping the code on a Friday to leave potential innocent folks hanging until Monday.

Thank you Kabam. Respectfully submitted,

Nakor

I am one of the players that received a 7 day suspension. I have only ever installed MCOC from the (actual) Google Play Store and on PC. I have never modded the game or used a game accelerator (which I'm seeing many people talk about here). I am a typical user in the U.S. I submitted a ticket and got the form letter. I was waiting for another response, but nothing yet.

Just a few minutes ago, I tried loading the app again and my account appears to have been reinstated (I got to the forum through the MCOC app) and suspension lifted. Hope for some others that are not up to no good, perhaps?

To any Kabam devs out there, would it make sense for me to totally uninstall the game and re-install it, just to be on the safe side in case the anti-cheat nukes me again? I don't want to experience another undeserved suspension.
