    To clarify the situation -- normal players will not get in trouble for advertising power leveling services on their own. We will thoroughly investigate whether or not the users soliciting for the service are affiliated with RMT activity and take action against those that are. However, in the event players are supporting RMT activity and services, there is a possibility of being punished as well. Therefore, we ask users to be careful not to involve themselves in activity that is associated with RMT.
    So, players are free to provide power levelling, same as RMT, but if they participate in an RMT organized power leveling activity, whether they know them as RMT or not, they can be banned? Only SE thinks that it is OK to kick out paying customers in the face of a declining player base. Awesome.

    Maybe you should think of ways to control RMT that do not involve bystander casualties. Just a thought.

    Likely easier said than done.

    There are many examples in the history of this game, some still active, where normal, legitimate players are considered 'collateral damage' by SE in their fixation on their war with RMT.

    God knows I'm no lover of RMT, but SE show no common sense or sense of proportion sometimes, and it's we players who are often the casualties of this war, either having to suffer asinine in-game mechanics (at best) or else getting unfairly banned and never reinstated (at worst).

    They're likely just saying "may" or "can" be banned to cover all their bases. Saying "you will never ever be banned if you just say you didn't know" makes it too easy to get away with it again.

    Maybe you should just find other ways to level up? Just a thought.
