I think another thing that's still a bit unclear to me is...are the people who are now saying they're unbanned coming off of a rightfully earned temporary ban? Or should they not have been banned to begin with? Or is it a little of both? The "I'm not banned anymore, you guys can eat crow!" posts in here don't really allow us to make any distinctions about that.

That's because Sony has horrible corporate communications on this, the banned then unbanned folks no as much as us, just the random post with no further explanation...

Exactly which is why at this point it is what it is. I'm disappointed that this was handled so poorly. I'll give them a few days but I still expect an apology, no more no less. This thread really just needs to be closed at this point and hopefully we get more clarification on their screwup after the holiday.

I think it's a little bit of both. Because there are still 1300 banned people and in their (Sony) initial release (before banning on 6/24, iirc) they said they could suspend your account OR permaban you.

Where did you get 1300 from?

The original report of 1500 minus the 200 that were reportedly unbanned.

There was never an initial report of 1500, it was never anything but a guess based on nothing material.

I will say at least they got around to the unbannings before the holiday weekend. Props to them for that.
