But if there is no problem, then one of the following must be true: (1) this was a misunderstanding, not at all unlikely in playing on a chess server, as you could have _easily_ missed the request to log off and back on. Ask folks on ICC how many times _I_ miss questions directed to me when watching a game and getting kibitzes from the computers, kibitzes from the spectators, and typical 'channel noise' on top of that. Missing something is easy. (2) your account is accurate but they have taken steps to prevent such a thing from happening again in the future. In this case, you _also_ did a good deed by causing a problem to be fixed. Whether this 'fix' was thru educating the admin in question, or in replacing him I don't know/care. But getting rid of abusive admins is _always_ a good deal, because we have had a few bad ones on ICC, on FICS and even chess.net. It happens. But _nothing_ will be known if you don't go back. And even the server deserves a chance to show that this is not a problem now, whether it was or not a couple of days ago... IMHO of course...
