Please define what "harassment towards Blizzard employees and towards Diablo 3" actually means.

Does "Jay Wilson is a bad game designer" qualify? Is that harassment?

Does "Diablo 3 is boring game after level 60" qualify?

Does "Diablo 3 feels like a job" qualify?

What is line that needs to be crossed to be considered "harassment"?

Here you go: http://us.battle.net/en/community/conduct#harassment

Harassing or Defamatory

This category includes both clear and masked language and/or links to websites containing such language or images which:
  • Insultingly refer to other characters, players, Blizzard employees, or groups of people
  • Result in ongoing harassment to other characters, players, Blizzard employees, or groups of people


If a player is found to have participated in such actions, he/she will:
  • Be given a temporary ban from the forums, depending upon severity


Harassment takes many forms, and is not necessarily limited to the type of language used, but the intent.


I do not personally consider the quotes you provided harassment, but that evaluation might change depending on the posts they were included in (the first quote could be questionable). Context is obviously very important here.

The best course of action is simply to be civil and avoid insults directed at other players or employees.
