I made an actual car purchase, not a couple of GC U/G's

Just saying from my perspective ;

I do that every Update drops or car sales, the difference when buying a Car is that, the cloud restore takes more time. The Cloud Restore button was implemented in game on this purpose, and I dont fear anyone or anything if Im clean, BC Im not stealing or taking advantage of anything or anyone. I recall how 'restore' was being used for WTTT to snap up loaned cars. Was ages ago and there were other 'glitches/bugs/exploits/loopholes' etc related to 'restore' well after that. "Once a cheater always a cheater" fits, because in "generalities" that is fine.

If youre doing as you suggest with restore as a wind back mechanism, then you won't be able to complain if you find FM action against you. What you or I or anyone else considers is "not stealing or taking advantage of anything or anyone" doesn't mean squat. EA/FM as proprietors can dictate what is or isnt "not stealing or taking advantage of anything or anyone". 

Obviously my most recent ban was due to "not as intended" for me to purchase a car and change my mind, restore and carry on as if I never made the original car purchase.

I don't know how many users have read the whole User Agreement and Terms Of Service, but I have more than once. It's standard boilerplate stuff with protections written in it for EA/FM to protect themselves from any liability anywhere on the face of Earth. It's standard practice to haver a "clause" that means a proprietor can make up the rules as they see fit at any point or nullify a clause someone is trying to use against them with their 'anti-liabilty clause'

"Not stealing or taking advantage of anything or anyone" will always be as EA/FM see it based on what they have in the U.A with "not as intended". Which I might add is very clever and somewhat bullet proof.
