Sure it's relevant, it lets people know that there's something they can do, especially if they don't go to Nexon's forums.
I wasn't banned with the recent wave of people, but I was still banned, and it's for the same reason a lot of people in that thread are talking about. I sent them an email and they explained what I needed to do. I'm in the last few steps of getting my account back, and will probably be unbanned early tomorrow morning..
People jump to conclusions because "It's Nexon." Just because there's no proof of it happening yet doesn't mean it hasn't and won't happen.
Also, if anyone's interested or skeptical, here's my email:
