Did anybody know you could actually get your forum account banned for spamming/trolling? I did neither and got my forum account on battle.net banned. Kind of surprised. Yes i was insulting blizzard for a 10-11 hour downtime for "maintenance" but really? Here's what i posted that got my account banned. Didn't even get an e-mail. I pissed off a blue bad.
Yeah someone brought up a good point. Millions of annoyed, angry and pissed off people asking for an answer for when servers will be back up or why servers have been down for about 10-11 or 12 hours today and what does a blue post come up for? Jay Wilson talking about a stupid identifying system. Blizzivision is getting dumber and dumber every day. The first step was blizzard selling out to a !@#$ty company like activision.
So watch what you say. The forum nazi's will get you if you say anything against what they may not like. Never mind the actual trolling people do on the forums and get away with lol.
P.S. Anybody know how to get your forum account unbanned? Do I have to crawl under their desks to get on their good side again?
The point is I was neither spamming nor trolling. I was in context with the rest of the conversation. I read the code of conduct for the forums and the only thing it might have gone in line with was trying to get a response out of the forums by posting off topic. I was on topic with what was being said and that was mild in comparison to the rest of what was being said. I think in reality it just ticked off a blue who was modding the forums and was mad that i didn't like their blue post of useless information.
Judge all you want, posted the exact comment made. Gonna see if i can find a link to the exact point where it was said. All the other comments were much worse.

liar....you just said in your OP that you were insulting Blizzard. I suppose you thought that because other people did it so can you?
So what did you do? You searched the web for another Diablo website you could complain in? Seriously?
I can tell by the fact that you created your account on Diablo Fans just to post this, and by the fact that you called Blizzard Nazis and conjectured that you'd have to perform fellatio on them to get back on the forums that you're an immature little shit who doesn't belong here or anywhere else for that matter.
Hmm, trolls seem more vibrant here. I believe i've found them.
I'll be happy to tell you that you're at least the third person in the last two days to post a thread saying exactly the same thing. If you wish to discuss the game in a reasonable and mature manner, you've found a home. If you wish to flame Blizzard and whine about their forum policies....well, you're knocking on the wrong door.
I made one comment. And i'm asking if there's anyt way to get your account unbanned or who I would talk to about it. I'm not apologizing for my comment because I do believe it's gone somewhat downhill since Activision took over but that's what I mainly want to know. I didn't even get an e-mail saying if it was a temp ban or a perma ban. Didn't want to call if somebody knew already.

Get the fuck out.
wish we could automatically paste this response every time a new troll gets banned from bnet and needs to find a new home. if you look around the room and can't pick out the asshole, it's probably you.
What's funny is nobody has even answered my question. It's been all inflamatory responses and insults. Take two and think about your comments before you hit post.
Definitly sounds like trolling since you know Blizzard didn't sell out to Activision. Vivendi SA who already owned Blizzard Entertainment merged their Vivendi Games with Activision. Blizzard stayed autonomous while all the other departments of Vivendi Games were merged into Activision or disbanded. Blizzard has also been owned by several other parent companies in the past. Off the top of my head one of them was Davidson and Associates.
The thing is though that even ignoring the few trollish parts the official forums don't need more things like that. I'm sure there was an existing thread you could have used. If you offered constructive feedback instead of "dumber and dumber" and vulgarity then you wouldn't have had the forum suspension/ban. And given your P.S. I think it is perfectly warrented.
http://us.battle.net...count-penalties may be helpful. You should have also recieved an e-mail that states how long it is, and what can be done about it. (This can take a little bit to be sent) However some forum suspensions are permenant. You may also want to review http://us.battle.net...mmunity/conduct and align your posts with that if you wish to not get banned again (if you do make it back onto the official forums).
I can see your point Rhorle, but at the most i could have seen a temp forum suspension over a perma ban right off the bat if that's what they did in fact do. I've never really posted in the forums and was just perusing as the game went down right after I logged on after work. Been getting impatient with all my waiting after I get off work lately since that seems what i mostly do nowadays since D3 came out. But anyhoo if nobody really knows about it, i guess that's cool. Just saw the server came back up, gonna pop on my demon hunter and start tryin to hit my last couple levels. Also yeah, no e-mails, that's been kind of irritating. Figured they would have e-mailed me whether it was temp or perm since it's the first time i've ever been banned.
Communicating something that bothers you in a polite and reasonable manner will actually get your point across (believe it or not) and prevent you from getting banned. Going about it the way you seem to have done is pretty much the opposite of helpful and constructive. Next time, that's something you might want to keep in mind.
Not sure what to think here, in one hand its a great thing blizz finally starts cleaning up the mess that their forums is, but in the other one i'd be annoyed diablofans gets more people like the OP

I hope Blizz keeps it up. I abandoned their forum because of people like the OP. Hopefully they keep cleaning house.
lol...."forum nazis"? Yea.....good analogy. The Nazis commited to genocide and murdered millions of human beings and Blizz banned you for trolling.
