Spoken with the ICO just now.
They have began the investigation, and do find SE have breached the Data Protection Act to an extent. It's still ongoing though, as there are a lot of technical things to go through.
Either way, sh*t is likely to hit the fan.
**** is not likely to hit the fan, unless you passed your issue off as something other than "They won't let me play their game, and won't give me any reason'. My understanding of the DPA, from the very little bit I read months ago, is that they're there to help you prevent the unlawful dissemination of your personal info, which may result in something like identity theft. All info SE has on you was freely given by you when you subscribed to their service. Anything involving why you were banned is not "you" specific, it's based on account activity.
It's been 3 months since the quoted post. Where's the ****? Seriously, guy, you need to just move on with your life. It really is just a game. If you miss your friends, there's a multitude of ways to keep in touch with them, including, but not exclusive to, Skype, MSN, AOL IM.
Yes, I have no issues saying this because I still get to play. If I were banned tomorrow, I'd not ***** about it for 9 months and Q.Q to my government.
