Yeah, I know for a fact that global blocks don't always come from violations of the Terms of Use, but as you said, hopefully a third party who was involved comes forward.

I will say, the cases I know of where the global block was not done based on ToU violations, they were usually undone quietly some time later, but it usually took months if not years.
