Most likely A dumb question but I see some people who have them squashed/expired  is  this just from playing by hand and it eventually goes away or what?

They only get quashed if they made a mistake and the ban was wrong. Botting bans don't expire anymore either

Yes there is two ways.

i had one expire on my 99 hunter acc, then i botted a shitload on it, and it got another 2 day ban. pretty sure you can just wait it out

Ya don't bot in the first place 

time

no

Only if you didnt bot(ie. your account was hijacked and hijacker botted, they'll quash then only).

How do they make a "mistake" and then unban you?

Their anti cheating specialists ban you when they don't have absolute proof that you were botting, when they review your account they find that you weren't actually botting.

So do they ban you in like "two rounds" or something? E.g. they "flag" / ban you first and THEN review it?

Not really, its very rare that they actually look at a ban

after 1 year it expires, dunno if that's still the case.

Wait 2 days and the ban is gone
