Off Topic - Banned on the d3 forums. - Forum

D3 was pretty fail anyway. PoE all the way!	Posted by Mannie22#3435 on Oct 4, 2012, 6:35:38 PM Quote this Post
I think we were all a bit disappointed after playing D3, some of it being that we had waited so long for another D2 experience - the rest of it being the lack of quality of the game itself. That being said, most game forums do not allow this sort of advertisement, or only allow it in an Off-Topic forum sense. GGG has been one of the first companies I've seen to allow such advertising, and furthermore has devs and moderators posting with their game experiences from other games. Sadly, the marketing for PoE as a whole is very lacking. I only hope that once PoE goes into Open Beta that more interviews/game reviews from larger websites and magazines will be done on the game as even searching Google for PoE under the News section gives a very stale search.

I tried that once. It was just a general querry on google. Got a bunch of Edgar Allen Poe hits lol. Nothing from PoE.	Posted by nateedubs#0341 on Oct 4, 2012, 9:11:38 PM Quote this Post

Trolling is not really an accurate word for what I was doing. Advertising would be more accurate. Advertising the many merits of PoE, and the innumerable shortcomings of d3 on the very same forum that I had the fortune to hear about PoE on. Why do I tell you guys about it? Because I'm bored, this is an off-topic forum for a game I love, and I'm not harming anyone. If I am doing GGG some kind of disservice by trying to get folks to come check out PoE that was never my intent and I can't any longer anyway. It doesn't matter if it's trolling or advertising. Blizzard has a set of rules you should adhere to. They D3 forums have a section dedicated to other games, that's where you post about PoE. I don't think the forum mods here would be very happy is you spammed PoE's general discussion with TL2 threads. Also, like I said earlier, you are doing GGG a disservice by making the PoE community looking immature thus turning people away from the game. If people get turned off just because there are posts on the forums with big discussions about games, then they are srsly wierd..... I dont get turned off by people who discuss stuff on the diablo 3 forums, i get turned off by the way the forum mods and nooby players react to it.... I dont get turned off by people discussing it on PoE forums either.... why should i? I think the fact that we are discussing stuff like this proves that we are not casual noobs, and therefore we are more serious about games than other people are. Srsly do you get turned off and dont want to play PoE just because there are some people on the forums having a discussion about the games???	Posted by Deleted on Oct 5, 2012, 7:19:35 AM

If you did not read his posts on the D3 forums, then you are not qualified to determine whether they were doing our PoE community a disservice or not. He got banned for "trolling". This does not necessarily mean that his posts were immature and/or innappropriate for the thread that they were in. It only means that Blizzard did not like them. Nowhere was it stated that nateedubs spammed general discussion with his "advertisements". In fact, nowhere does it actually say what subforum he posted in or that he was even making whole threads on the subject. He talks about them deleting his comments. Notice that he did not say deleting his threads. This also does not show whether his comments were random advertisements or if they failed to contribute to the conversation already present in the thread, either of which could be grounds for suggesting that his comments may have been out of line. The fact of the matter is, you do not know what he said or how he said it. You have made assumptions based on other posts/threads you have read that were written by other people. I know Nate personally and I know he does not "troll" like some unsatisfied adolescent that makes the rest of the internet want to slap them. If Nate added some plugs for PoE on the D3 forums (which we all know he did because he himself has said as much) then I know that he made his posts as tastefully as he could and in alignment with the current tone of whatever topic he was posting in. I have not read all of his posts before they were deleted, but of the ones I have seen, not a single one of them would make the PoE community look bad. You're missing the point. You are right, I don't know exactly what he did, but it doesn't matter. What I do know is that he is purposely broke forum rules, and then came to brag on these forums about it. What makes him and the community look bad is his seemingly total lack of respect. Not liking a game is not justification for disrupting forums. Like I said before, if the reverse happened and the PoE forums (not the off-topic section) were spammed with posts about other games you would probably be a bit annoyed. If he wanted to post "tastefully", he should of posted it in the proper forum section. Keyblades!

It does matter what he did because over in those forums even people who like the game say whatever the heck they want to about it without repercussions. The general discussion is filled with trolling, swearing, name calling, all over the place. His comments didn't look bad at all in that environment. I posted on his thread and didn't notice anything bad about what he had to say. "Not liking a game" is really minimizing how people feel about D3. I have "not liked" many games in the passed but I have never despised a games existence before. But then again thats not really why we do it. Its to try to get people fed up with D3 to know the great alternative that exists. The difference is that their forums are not disrupted by advertising other games, and honestly ours wouldn't be either if it was done in a non mean spirited manner.

I'm quite shocked how about 90% of the users seem to support such a way of thinking. "But others have also...and they're even behaving worse..." So what? does that change forum rules? It doesn't. You cannot justify such behavior like wantonly breaking a rule with anyone else's behavior. Blizzard's behavior doesn't give that right, other user's behavior doesn't and least does the feeling that you would find it ok if it happened here.

Like I already said the general discussion is the place to discuss such things over there. If the mods over there don't want to enforce anything then why should I care? Mentioning another game that people might like isn't as bad as what their own players say about D3. Their rules are a joke. Edit: You honestly think I care about what Blizzard thinks when I "despise that D3 was even created?"? No I don't. I don't need "The right" to say what I want to say over there, and I certainly don't need your permission. Get off your high horse.

You're taking this way too personal. I am discussing the "case" of the starter of this thread. At no point I was judging what you might have done or said in the D3 forum. All the facts I have are that nateedubs disobeyed Diablo 3 forum rules, got banned and brags about that here...that's everything I know and that's everything I judge. ign: Qwertzuiopp	Posted by MultiKill#2054 on Oct 5, 2012, 2:43:14 PM Quote this Post
Honestly, who really cares??? I don't blame the OP at all to be completely honest. The "devs" over at Acti/Blizz shat on us, they're loyal player base, so I see no issue taking a crap on them :D The Pope quit, a meteor fell on Russia, an asteroid came close to the earth, there's snow in Arizona, star wars and star trek have the same director!
