The end of @threads.

Apperantly Blizzard grew tired of us trying to create a more closely knit community on their forums, so they decided to swing the banhammer and delete a majority of the @day threads. Both myself and Kaikuri got a free seven day, all expenses paid, vacation from the forums. And my best guess is, anyone who tries to make @day threads will as well.

It's kind of sad to see really, the threads originated on the US forums, they even date back to the old official forums, and there hasn't been much problems with them there, they're contiously posted on the new battle.net forums, but I guess the people that mod the EU forums has a stick to far up their ass. Apperantly creating these threads are considered spammming/trolling.

Origination: Forums / Comments
Ban Type: Spamming / Trolling
Expires: Monday, 24 October 2011 17:54:45 o'clock UTC (in 6 days, 23 hours)
Ban Reason: Posting annoying messages in the forums, in this case posting a nonsense, irrelevant or off-topic thread. I.e. spamming: http://eu.battle.net/en/community/conduct


On top of that, Kai's protection guide got deleted, which was very helpful to new players that wanted to take up tanking.

All this is the result of trying to create a community. That being said, see you in seven days.

  1. Well. That's the last nail to the coffin for me.

    No more reasons to post on official forums as I stated to (possibly) last @day thread. Like Zellviren said in his howl, that's probably the worst forum moderating ever.

  4. This easily beats what I was banned for.

    Frankly (and I seldom swear in this blog), these bans are absolutely fucking disgusting and the community moderators should be utterly ashamed of themselves.
