Any time a developer starts trying to silence people on forums they are getting nervous, and usually get canned shortly afterwards.



Origination: Forums / Comments
Ban Type: Spamming / Trolling
Expires: Sunday, January 16, 2011 6:42:47 PM UTC (in 3 hours, 24 minutes)
Ban Reason: This account has been suspended from the World of Warcraft forums for a 72 hour period for trolling the forums. "4.0.6 shapeshifting change (Current) - Jan 13, 2011 3:50:50 PM------------omg this patch gets better and better. I love it. See you in BGs.

TLDR?
Sarcastic remark made with my mage about the inability of druids to shift out of frost novas/etc now.

This got removed and a 3-day ban?!? I've bolded the sarcasm that got me the ban. It is obviously offensive /rollseyes. It is Nazi Germany over on the official forums. They are trying to "pretty" up their forums I guess so potential customers think there is nothing wrong with the game.

I made half a dozen posts blasting Bliz for the druid change - some civil, some constructive, some not-so-much... didn't get into any trouble at all. Very strange that they would get upset over what you posted - doesn't make much sense.

Could it be that we aren't getting the full story?

You are getting the exact story I did. Went to make post asking if my warrior was "heroic ready" while logged out in my prot gear... said I was banned. I clicked on the 'read more' link that followed and copy pasted here. I never post anything racist, demeaning, vulgar or crude in any forum. Yet if you make a post that sarcastically outlines the idea of mage dominance over a class in pvp and boom! ban.

Sounds like the mod got rolled one to many times.
