I've been playing Dominations since sometime around spring 2015. I play on my phone (Galaxy SIII until last month, LG V20 now) and on Bluestacks/Droid4X through my PC at home. I'm a late stage British Atomic player and lately I've been grinding out those Amelia university upgrades for that sweet, sweet air unit space bonus. I have over 20k crowns, have done a ton of "offers" and have spent between $100 - $200 on the game since I started playing.
When I attempted to log into the game today, Jun 20 at around 10PM EST time, I was greeted with this message:

Earlier today at around 3PM EST, I played for about 20 minutes with no issues. I've thought about why the game would think I'd be performing "suspicious activity" and I think I know how this occurred.
The details are a bit foggy, but a few weeks ago, there was a Marco Polo offer/sale where you could trade some trade goods for stag lures. Each stag lure would cause 2 stags to appear, and as we all know, stags give 6 crowns each.
This offer was too good to pass up, so I used up all the trade goods I could to get 20+ stag lures. I used two or three of them and put my workers to work on a few upgrades. Sometime in the past two weeks, I had 6 workers available, so I decided to burn up my lures and get those crowns. I noticed that every time I'd harvest 4 - 8 stags in a row within 60 sec or so, the game would say I was having connection problems and kick me.
After a few minutes I got bored of logging back in and gave up, assigning my workers to do other tasks.
Today I had workers available again and decided to give it another try. I claimed a number of lures, somewhere around 5 or 6 I think? I wasn't paying much attention, I was in a hurry to get back to work and harvested the stags while waiting for some troops to train, then performed an attack and assigned my workers to some tasks, and logged out. This time, the game didn't "kick" me like the previous time, so I assumed whatever had been causing the issue was fixed.
I am now greeted by the "ban" message every time I attempt to log in. I think what happened is clear: there's some check in the game to prevent people from somehow cheating at getting "too many" stags at the same time. I believe the assumption for this check is that since stags only spawn 1 or 2 per 24 hour period, there's no way someone can harvest 6+ stags at once. If this occurs, the game must assume it to be "suspicious activity" and you get the ban hammer.
I'm not mad, just disappointed. I'm fairly certain this is why I was banned and I want to get reinstated because having 20+ stag lures is perfectly normal if someone got them through Marco Polo.
If any customer service reps are out there, please help! I'd like someone to look at my account and look into this.
If any playes are out there with a bunch of stag lures in inventory, I recommend you use them slowly, maybe 1 or 2 a day max, just in case.
