Why Was I Banned When I Was Asleep???

Last night I was farming some wool cloth on my 26 hunter troll, I left my computer on and laid down for a few moments of rest. Needless to say it was a long day and I fell asleep after a little while. But when I awoke and went to play I was logged out and on the login screen. I entered my username and password and it turns out I was banned! I went to my email and they said I "Abused chat privalges and advertised" I never did any of that. I was asleep at the time of the banning. How could I have possibly have done it. Please I don't want to seem agressive but I didn't do anything that violated the user agreement.

This is a bannable offense just another form of farming like gold farming in resources instead:

Gold farming is explicitly prohibited in WOW, but it is clear that Blizzard does not try hard to stop it. Blizzard does not seem to draw the line at any automated program (known as a BOT) playing the game to farm gold. If they find a completely automated program playing WOW, they delete the account. As recently as November 2006 Blizzard deleted 105,000 WOW online accounts and confiscated 12 million in-game gold!
