TEAMLIQUID, PLEASE FORGIVE ME for ever considering moving the majority of my posts over to the official SC2 Forums. What was I thinking?
http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=25626109041&sid=3000&pageNo=1
Man, I posted in that official thread, being very logical and nowhere near unpleasant, and then I go back to do a single edit to say that "everything I just said aside, I play games and post on forums to ESCAPE real life, not become more connected to it". But, when I did, I find that my post is not even there! They frikkin deleted it! I SWEAR there was nothing in it offensive or against their rules at all.
So I decided to do some research on it.
Before I had made my post, I had actually read every single post before it (about 250 posts), and they were all there. None were deleted. Then after I made my post and saw they deleted it, I went back to see exactly how many posts got deleted in the time that I was making my post. Fifty Four. 54 posts were deleted by Blizzard, and I'm frikkin tellin' you most of them were not offensive at all.
So, what do most (if not all) of these posts have in common?
Luckily, I had just read them all. Almost all (if not all) of them had one thing in common: They mentioned not using their real name when posting on the forums.
Now, I am going 100% off memory, and I'm a stoner, so I can't say this is 100% reliable, but I'm pretty fuckin' sure. I'd bet my weed money on it.
The number of all the deleted posts that were made before mine that got deleted (totals 54 posts): + Show Spoiler +1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 13 15 16 18 19 20 21 22 24 25 29 30 31 37 38 39 42 58 60 66 70 97 106 108 123 130 137 138 167 170 172 179 187 189 191 195 196 197 199 201 232 234 236 264
Here's the real kicker for me though: I did not actually say I was going to post with a fake name. What I did say was that I was not going to post with my real name, which can simply mean that I am not going to post at all.
I'm sorry but I'm pretty upset with Blizzard right now.

Your post scares me for some reason.
And the quote above will never, ever, ever help your case. From what I am reading, are you accusing Blizzard of a conspiracy based entirely off your memory? O.o. Just wondering.

i'm going to enjoy it when sc2 comes out , all this doesnt really matter.

He's angry because Blizzard is censoring their forum of posts suggesting their poster will falsify information. I think.

wait can you summarize what happened? im not really following....

Just wondering I did not expect it to help my case... Memory... ... Yeah sure... cuz it happened like two minutes ago... ...? What did you eat for breakfast? Have you ever read a book? Did you forget what happened the last chapter? C'mon man.
i'm going to enjoy it when sc2 comes out , all this doesnt really matter. Me too. In my post that got deleted I literally started off "you're gonna have to do a lot worse than that to make me not buy your game".
It matters to me because they deleted my perfectly valid post for zero reason whatsoever.

1: I make a post on their thread explaining clearly and calmly why these implements would not be a good idea. 2: My post gets deleted for no reason at all. 3: I go back to count how many similar posts got deleted for almost as little reason and find that Blizzard is just hiding a tremendous flaw in their design by deleting valid posts. 4: This blog happens.

What he said was: "all posts stating not using actual, real names for account name were deleted".

What he said was: "all posts stating not using actual, real names for account name were deleted". Indeed, I did say that. That is not the only point of this blog though.

Lots of slow people on here I guess... rofl.
|
Ugh, could this be an indication of what's to come from bnet 2.0? Blizzard has alot of angry fans right now over forums...

Lol this blog had 5 stars with the first vote, then two people voted it to 1 AFTER my last post. Every poster between this post and my last post had positive feedback.
(Those 2 people who voted 1/5 did not say anything).
edit: (was rated 2.33 with 3 votes btw)

Why, because your post is easily misinterpreted as stating you will be posting without using your real name?
EDIT: That's the first thing I thought reading it. If you didn't clarify that, I see no reason why it should be implied Blizzard is conspiring when it seems more likely they just read it as you were going to use a fake name.

Seems like a lot of people here love the battle.net forums. Blizzard can do whatever they want on their forums. If you are scared of Blizz don't post on their forums or maybe just stay clear of all their products from here on out. It sucks that they police their forums, but they are also one of the most busy forums in the world and they need to do snap decision moderation.

There was MUCH more in my post than that. I made many good arguments. I saw one or two other posts that were very similar that did not get deleted. There was no reason to delete mine and not delete theirs.

I have many thousands of constructive posts on the WoW forums when I played WoW, which I mentioned in my post.
