Many people are getting banned for third party software

I noticed that many players got banned for third party software and all of them say that they do not own hacking programs. I just want Riot to double check because many of these people have invested a lot of money and time into the game and I don't want them getting banned for something they have not done. Besides, many players have expressed in the comments section that they will not be spending more money on the game because they are afraid they get banned for no reason so this is clearly going to affect your revenue.

Here are some posts by people who got banned for allegedly using third party software: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/gA9ePu5O-i-was-banned-for-scripting-hacking-what-the-heck-i-wish-you-all-the-best-and-farewell http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/Ys8HpYkI-banned-for-3rd-party-software-when-ive-never-used-it-before http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/lZq95JAr-banned-for-3rd-party-content http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/olaEBJ5A-also-got-banned-for-third-party-software-which-i-dont-even-know-where-to-download http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/ZITlPTIv-scripting-hacks-third-party

Please help these people. :)

This happens all the time there is a ban wave hit. Im sure the people who work on these bans/triggers for 3rd party probably triple/quad check for any mishaps. Maybe, just maybe the people actually claiming the did nothing wrong actually did use some type of 3rd party program, and are just lying to try and get their account back? its not that hard to believe especially when you get people who are ban for toxic behavior claim their innocents only to have their chatlog say otherwise! Im sure there might have been people wrongfully accused and im sure any person who feels otherwise would be smart enough to contact support because getting irate on the forums. But to have a all the people in this ban wave to be all innocent just doesnt make sense.

I'm sure you're offering to pay the salaries of the Riot employees you expect to do this task correct?

I just created a post on this. I guarantee we will see something soon from Riot about this. Being on the end of the accused I know this is a mistake on their end. Regardless thanks for the post man. Best of luck to anyone out there dealing with the same thing.
