ie: running isn't condoned by Anet, and they don't take any action against it. Do it at your own risk.

ie2: then you complain that support actually does their job with your name violating the EULA...yeah ok.

If I was employed at Anet I would print out your email and put it by the water cooler for everyone to laugh at.

Pretty much he reported some guy for cheating him on a run. The OP also sent in screen shots as proof. But support emailed him back and said they couldn't do anything for him. So the OP tried to log-in to GW but it turns out he got banned for an inappropriate name. Apparently his name in the screen shot was an inappropriate name so Anet got him.

That's funny. Too bad about the run, but the name thing is just so sweet; like some a poor joke you laugh at because it's cruel rather than funny.

Scamming on runs however, that's not nice. Pulls down the trust in the community (yeah, I laugh at myself sometimes).

the trust in the guild wars community is still the best in any MMO i have ever played. I have seen a total of maybe 10 scammers in my 1 year of playing GW, compared to other games where you see them every day.

but, i agree that anet needs to make some changes to the report system.
i reported some guy for racism, and in turn i get banned for an innappropriate name.

I doubt it was anything personal Komerad.
It's just that Anet never has taken a stance against scams like that.
Those types of scams are extremely easy to avoid and do not qualify as a serious violation. It's mentioned in the wiki too.
It's the same as if player A gave money to player B and then waited for player B to come back with an item in exchange for money already given, but player B never returns.
Anet wouldn't do anything about that.

LMFAO! Insult to injury and then rubbing salt in the wound.

@OP Why the hell would you send a screenshot with something that could get you banned?

OP said his character's name wasn't meant to be offensive, but he could see if someone had a dirty mind they could think of a way to pronounce it in order to sound like a bad thing.
People are being suspended a lot now for that.
Heck in Everquest a friend of mine had her name suspended and she had to change it. It was Ytea.
