banned for posting: "based on this information i can safely say:it's still probably going to be released on Jan 17thhappy thanksgiving"
note: the post was a reply to someone else's thread, it was my first post in about 6 hours, and it wasn't a thread about a store's release date or anything, so I wasn't replying to a spam thread or anything.
clearly I'm not banned for the post, why would they ban for release date speculation or saying happy thanksgiving? lmfao.
I already emailed Blizzard about it, so I should be fixed soon, but this still made me laugh pretty hard, I hope some of you are as amused as I am.
in this picture i'm banned for what appears to be no reason at all.

So you got banned for spamming, and your solution is to try and create another crap thread. Not like the forum is worth much in the first place, but really? Take a break from the forums and get some fresh air instead.
What is the point of posting a thread about a ban you got on a different forum? I'm not going to fall off my chair laughing at this, did you honestly expect someone to, or are you just wanting attention?
release date speculation threads are the number 1 spam in these forums, people keep claiming that amazon.com and ebgames.com place holder dates are real which is mentally retarded. so your release date spec thread WAS indeed spam so you were rightfully banned. sorry bud
oh no it wasn't my thread.
the post was a reply to someone else's thread, and yes I agree threads like amazon release dates are dumb and annoying, but this thread wasn't about any store's dates.
If I was banned because I replied to a dumb thread, that would be like you getting banned for replying to this thread. lol.

wtf? you werent posting a ton of posts in an hour were you? if your making too many posts within a small period of time the system will auto flag you as a spammer. its only a 72 hour ban anyways.
no haha, it was my first post in like 6 hours or so.
I used to post more but I've been playing a lot of skyrim lately instead, it's a much better way to wait for D3 than to read the forums only to get more excited (which makes it feel like it's taking longer to be released)
given that, it's definitely an error and not a legitimate ban, Either I have to wait for their reply to my email or let the ban expire, either way I won't really feel effected by it since I don't post that often anyways.
I'd rather let Blizzard know that there's a problem though, the next person to get this error might not be as understanding as I am. hehe.
If you got banned for 3 Days, you already got banned some time earlier. They don't forget!
yeah I did get banned before.
The time before i posted a thread asking about diablo3inc's videos of abilities that weren't in the beta, at the time i didn't understand that what they were doing was hacking the beta, so I got banned for posting a link to a hack. I had to wait that ban out because it was a legitimate ban reason. I pretty much got banned for being ignorant there though.
this ban happens to other people too, like the guy who posted on the forum about the speedhack got banned for his thread too i'm sure.
We can't help you here regarding this issue. Thread closed.
Edit: reopened and moved to off topic.
