Summary

Covers Blizzard's blue post: accounts suspected of selling or receiving RMT gold can get a Temporary Economy Hold restricting trade, mail, guild banks and the Auction House; it lifts automatically if the activity is found innocent, a hold alone leaves no permanent strike, false positives are possible, and the systems may go to all WoW versions if they work.
