I didn't get this original message, weird.  However, do you trust your 
battlemaster account to that person's word (it says under the ooc ban 
option that the titans take it very seriously, I don't know how 
seriously but honestly I don't want to find out)?  Accounts get locked 
for more then multi-cheating (and not always permanently).  Furthermore 
if the person has already been reported to the titans and judged that 
means they have already given a punishment they deem worthy.
