Yes, I remember when this happened. Everyone who got banned had their accounts unbanned (I was not banned however, and I've used Ripcord daily since 2018). You were also just as likely to have gotten banned if you used an outdated Android client.

If they're willing to lie about using a third party client (which is what they did to initially reach front page here many moons ago), I'd wager they were actually attempting to automate their actions instead of "BANNED after manually pressing 6 buttons".
