Account hacked or random suspension?

Hi, I'm slightly confused at the moment as I can not access my account in any way. After reading a few related issues I believe I should start my story here: I was questing in Eastmarch when my horse ran over a pile of rocks/into a canopy tent thing and all of a sudden flew up into the air. I thought it was hilarious as my character and horse supermanned 15km above the zone. Anyway, after about 30 seconds of this I decided to use the /stuck command and resume gameplay. I spawned at an as yet undiscovered wayshrine and used it to port myself to the closest one to my quest. After a few minutes of normal play I was logged out and when I tried to log back in I was given the error message that my log in information was incorrect. I had been hacked once before a few years ago in Warcraft so I immediately figured it was that and tried to log into the website to change my password. However the website says that I had been Suspended from the site and could not log in. I've since put a ticket in to customer support for a callback and now posting this thread in order to explore all avenues to remedy this issue.

It is possible that my account was hacked, somehow, although it's highly unlikely it would have come from my end as my machine and email are very secure. If this is a random suspension because my horse decided to fly through the air while I was playing the game as intended. Then as a paying customer, and one who had beta tested the game as well as gave quality feedback as a game artist myself. I would expect this to be remedied immediately. I don't even use add ons, let alone attempt to hack or exploit the game.

So far I've lost 30 minutes of play time tonight. Which is nothing to cry about. Please fix this as soon as possible, or at least make an attempt to contact me and let me know exactly what's going on with my account. Whether it's been hacked, or suspended for collision glitching and shooting my character 15km above the zone.

Thank you!
We have contacted our Customer support team to help you solve your issue.

    Looks like it was suspended. Other people have been complaining about this recently. Go to the help section and protest your suspension.

    I keep my finger's crossed every day, because I used to get flung out of the world 2-3 times a night before patch 1.03... I'm just waiting for it to happen again and to get suspended. :/

    also addons are not bannable! they have a addon option in the settings area of the game and an addon option to turn off addons and/or reset your UI! so......Addons are allowed aslong as they dont give you an advantage over other players! only addons that affect UI/Chat/Map anything on the players end that doesnt affect other players is allowed! a good site for addons would be ESOUI if you want to check it out. again they are allowed

    I'm aware addons are not bannable. I was simply pointing out that my account couldn't have been compromised via keylogger embedded in an addon i had installed.

    ahh ok. only site i go to is EsoUi. btw were you in eastmarch or ingame a few hours ago? i heard a rumor that the GMs logged in and purged the dungeons of bots and chat of Spammers! so that may be why you got banned. no idea if the rumor is true but it is a possability that what happened happened when they were online and they caught it and mistook you as a bot. there is a post that is stickied in this forum that explains how to appeal so read that and follow its instructions :)

    It was at 8:30 MST, when it auto booted me the first time (while i was still flying in the air) i got an error message that i had been logged out due to excessive chat spamming. However, i was not typing anything in chat at the time other than to my guild that i was currently flying over eastmarch and i was getting a bit nostalgic as it reminded me of the time meridia fly's you above skyrim for the dawnbreaker sword. i logged back in and that's when i used the /stuck command.

    I have a friend who got suspended similarly to the OP. He was stuck in free fall and used the /stuck command. At which point he was booted with the "Text message queue full, you are suspected of spamming" message. After logging back in he was quickly booted again and now his account is suspended. Please, ZOS, take a loot at his appeal. His ticket numbers are
