^ That.
No-one has been banned, or not banned, based on nationality. No-one.
It does remain true that the vast majority of those banned within Classifieds are accessing the site from Polish IP addresses.
That doesn't state that every Polish user is doing something wrong, but it does suggest there's a problem here that could be worked on.
Maybe it's that the rules are written in English that isn't easy for non-native speakers? Maybe it's that there's just a disproportionate representation of Polish traders and so it is a sampling problem that leads to the 90%?
Whatever the underlying root cause is, the vast majority of Classifieds incidents that end in a ban originate from a Polish IP address or Polish ISP email address.
