At least, that is my best understanding from what my browser translated.

There was also a brief mention of the wave of bans back in March/April, which I remember reading about on social media. I believe most of the reports came from GOH recipients. Imagine being gifted a GOH, only to find yourself locked out of your account a few days later. I think many of them eventually got their accounts reinstated though.
