To the best of my knowledge perma banned accounts are not reset - could be any number of reasons why - I'm voting on cruel punishment for the player knowing that everything they worked on for the last 8 or so months is gradually dieing. Of course this probably doesn't bother repeat offenders, but is very effective for anyone who got hit on the first offence or built the account up without using bots. Assuming they still care at this point.

If your seeing reset, it's most likely because players don't like their account being attack or taken away by another player, so they would rather reset them selve. It gets personal if someone else takes it away. =)
