I have the proxy site.
I know the proxy theme is very slippery ground, too much worthless people use proxies (btw like the windows).
But I'd like to say that I play honest games and I'm not so stupid to be dishonest with Google. Many people in the world know my site. And it is the result of my job of 4 years. And Google knows it. Type "proxy" in Google and you will see me site on the first place.
Will any man of sense risk of reputation of popular site?
Any popular internet resource has its enemies. I guessed that they or at least one of them will try to kill my google account by clicker programs/scripts. But I thought all it are "children trick" and the Google is not so ignorant to take seriously such provocations...
So what have I do now to obtain justice?
Of course there are other PPC programs in the world. But I'd like to clear up the mess with Google Ansense and defending the right and my good name.
Help me, please!
ASA, help!

I guess making your site navigation look like an AdSense block is OK.
No, the navigation on my site is very simple and does not look like an AdSense block.
Guys, what site all you investigate? :)
Nice to see Google doing their job and cleaning up the house...
Thank you Fryman, for the wormest words. Nice to see such kind man in Google's house.
If you run the site in first place under a search of "proxy" there are a couple of other issues I see.
You run a .ru domain. Google might have chosen you for a high risk area for deactivation after reviewing your traffic.
Second, your forums (or the link to your forums) if you run that site as well, you have a second google account as the google ads are still running on the forums. The way you make the link look, it appears that the sites are run by the same person/company.
I have visited your site many times. I developed some proxy checking scripts and used some of the proxies you list. They do serve a purpose.
I can certainly see where google might have a problem with a site like yours. 99% of your visitors are probably running anonymous proxies. That means the majority of your google clicks are from proxies and those proxies could be used elsewhere for click fraud and have been "tagged" by google.
Do you do also own the forum site as well? If so, is that your google account/ads running on it?

In your language, that says 'Thank you Google for geting rid of these affiliates that scam those that pay to have there site listed through AdWords . desperado117's site de-frauds AdWord users, so thank you got banning that account. Keep banning more affilites just like this one.'
THAT'S what he said! I don't think you want to thank him! Yes, those are worm words, because you got fried by the Google man!
And DO NOT USE PROXY!:))) Never!
Nice people I met here.
Nevertheless, I'd like to say thanks for the replies. Special thanks to kartiksh, mvander, elsewhen, Dantol, jomaxx.
The question is settled for me.
It's one of those grey areas. He doesn't use any wording like "click on my ads" or incentives or anything that is a clear violation and the content of his site is very good in my opinion. I have a tool very similar to his for over a year and it's been running google as well. Now this issue makes me think twice.
I believe that it could be the nntime forums that are connected to the .ru site (proxy checker) site. Since it is running google (still, right now) that means two accounts are being used. Are they two separate people? desperado117 didn't answer me, but let's assume it is since it's also "officially" two different domains.
desperado117 I am sorry that violations occurred and you lost your google account. I like your site and hope you can find another means to fund it. You HAVE to had worked hard to get it in the #1 spot for proxy. I wish I had that spot for my site.
are those bad too? From what you say it would seem so.
But I don't think so, I think Google understands the difference...
