It's not like blizzard is monitoring every chat channel. It must have been one of your clanmates who complained to and blizzard was forced to take action.

this is utterly retarded. These sort of words have become so common in speech that it's just foolish to take action against them now. I don't see why blizzard feels like it has to entertain all these whiny tattle-tail kids and punish them like this is grade school for use of bad words. I bet this is the reason they took such steps to deny chat channels, there utterly terrified that their player base doesn't get offended even at the cost of its own social enjoyment of the game.

EDIT: oooh sh** I said retarded. I hope tl doesn't ban me

EDIT2: maybe you beat him and he got mad at you?

"entous sounds like a faggot" is such a stupid sentence to get warned for. You're not despising a whole sexual orientation. Unless you're referring to a homosexual person as a faggot, the warning is out of context. Besides, he was talking to a teammate? I'd be just as pissed as Enki.

I dont think some of you are really understanding the message. Someone reported me for saying faggot, and in the email said:

"Offense:
Sexual Orientation
This category includes both clear and masked language which:

* Insultingly refers to any aspect of sexual orientation pertaining to themselves or other players

Details (Note - Times are listed in Greenwich Mean Time, GMT):
2011-01-29 23:20:19 entous sounds like a faggot"

Basically, the admin called me a faggot, hence why I wondered why a WoW admin is dealing with SC2 related issues.

"I knew SCII was going to fail the minute i was playing my first game in beta, and now I find out that I can get banned from the game i spent $60 on for typing fag in a channel, what a joke.

Blizzard should be ashamed of themselves, but I know better then to expect that. They have shown that they really have no regard for SC2, what with the no lan, the shitty fucking map pool, the horrid as fuck bnet 2.0 interface, I could go on and on."

Emotional statements with no regard for the real world. 1.5 million copies of SCII sold in its first 48 hours. The game has already set a new strategy gaming standard, and you write angry shit. You should just calm down.

A great way not to let this happen is not to talk shit to people.

Anyway, blizzard didnt ban you and I as many others have real doubts that they are monitoring every channel. Most likely you were being a complete asshole and you got reported. In this case blizzard had no other choice then to waste time on you and sent you an email basicly saying, stop being a douchebag.

This resulting in you making this blog so i am thinking you didnt learn alot from your experiance.

You didn't get banned. Don't call people fags and you won't get any mails.

Um, no he didn't, don't be ridiculous. The clause "pertaining to themselves or other players" is to cover their bases when people claim "i can say fag because i am one"

I don't care how much it sells, doesn't change the facts I put out. You must be some casual player who just plays 3v3/4v4 with friends occasionally, in which case I can't blame you for not understanding my points about the maps.

Anyways, all I did was post a letter I got over a trivial matter, and just warning everyone to maybe watch what they type from now on to avoid it, since blizzard has shown that they are anal over some words that are typed out over bnet 2.0. Dunno why so much rage is being addressed to me.

You dunno why you are getting so much flak?
+ Show Spoiler +

Reread your blog understand that it was pure rage based on something that you did wrong and failed to accept that. And people dont and shoudnt accept rage based on nothing.

Not only is it ridiculous to get an email over something so stupid but this was sent from "wowaccountadmin@blizzard.com",
who really has no business talking shit to an SC2 player, let alone a paying customer.

You do realise the account administration services department is one unified group, right? They most likely just forgot to change the alias address before clicking send.

I don't see where they "talked shit" to you either, and I don't even understand the relevance of "let alone a paying customer" considering every single person ON battle.net is a paying customer.

I think you should find new clan mates who won't report you as a "joke".

The fact that you're describing a warning form letter from an employee as "shit talking" should tell you something about how warped your view of the situation is.

Go play another game, and lol who gets pissed that wowaccountadmin sent you an email, it's a fucking computer, not a person "talking shit" to you. Damn you must be very friendly in real life.

this, it's not Blizzards fault if you get banned, they are following their rules that they made for their game.

I think that people should use the block out offensive language that's why it's there. It's ridiculous that they expect everyone to be GM there's some ass holes out there. But like its the internet who cares just relax and block communication to that person that's why it's there !
