Yesterday I got banned for 6 hours, and a warning placed on my account for allegedly 'Defaming'' another player.

The player in question was {Removed because its bannable apparently}
. I joined a Obsidian Sanctum Raid ( full pug). As the loot was being distributed, all items included the dragon hide bag, bind on equip ring, and the 5 badges went straight to his bag. He then hearthed out, logged out.
As you an imagine I was pretty angry at this point, so I added him to friends for the next time he logged on. The next time I saw him in Dalaran I did a general and trade message indicating for people to never join a group/raid with this {Removed name because it's bannable apparently}, and the next few times I saw him guilded; i contacted the offiers within the guild, explained to them what he did and explained my reputation within my guild and server, so in all accounts I was believed, thanked, and he got kicked out of the guild.

He then admitted to me in whispers what he did, I screenshotted it, and reported it to the GM's which I only got an automated response saying that there was nothing he can do, fair enough, hence why I took the matters into my own hands. I did not know it were a crime to justly inform other players who'm i'm friends with about a known server ninja looter, afterall if a GM can't do anything about it, are we just meant to allow it to happen?

Im disgusted at the service i've received, i've sent numerous e-mails, and petitions regarding the incident nmone of which i've had an appropriate response to, hence why i'm posting here. I really would like the warning on my account lifted, I couldn't care less about the suspension I received.

here is a screenshot ( I do have plenty more ) of him admitting what he did, I think it speaks for itself. What do you guys suggest I do regarding this? As you can imagine, it is pretty unfair.
