When you lock your account using the link. It doesn't get banned.At least that what I recall when I locked mine after they hacked it. The account gets disabled, but I don't think it's more of a ban.
Right. Account being locked is different from getting banned. The link sent to the original email address when changing the email address locks the account, but paid2 is right about wwzsocki's case.
According to
BPIP, wwzsocki's account was banned on August 23, one day before creation of this thread.
