I wasn't aware that using names was against any sort of rules until after I had posted it. I fail to understand how someone could sue for harrassment in a video game. If our society allows such frivolous lawsuits we're heading towards one hell of a path of destruction. I'm just sick of everyone having to walk on eggshells so nobody gets offended. People need to grow thicker skin.
I will not be removing the video from Youtube or my server.
The standard doesn't matter. Your other statement is something else entirely.
I will say this, though,
These are liberal Californians who repeatedly vote that wretch Nancy Pelosi into office. Blizzard is in Irvine, CA. Which is home for "No Worries." Worst freaking line ever.
I'm in the entertainment industry, dealing with anybody from California is generally awful, even on massive orders to big sound stages. They have zero sense of urgency in almost every single case.
I highly recommend watching the "Smug Alert" South Park episode. Because it's pretty freaking accurate. I can go further but I won't.
I will agree that political correctness is dumb. But so is the loss of accepted values that were the norm of the ultra-conservative 50's and early 60's (Brady Bunch). The ideal was generally accepted as what was normal. Again, watch Mad Men. The point of reference is gone, so you can't say what the "Normal ideals" are. Nuclear families and all that.
To some the norm is to have a bunch of kids then bail and pay child support. To others the norm is to not get married.....it's changed alot as time has passed and more has become acceptable....hence more areas of culture feel vulnerable to insult......
I won't keep pointing at TV as a model of what is good or bad or ideals since shows like "American Idol" and "Jersey Shore" are still dominant.
However, I will point out that you got banned for no other reason besides the fact that some guy making near-minimum wage for moderating that board decided that you should.
I got perma-forum banned for posting this. Blizzard has their priorities straight for sure.
How do you know you've been banned? Wouldn't blizz have deleted your posts or made the thread on the forums no longer available?
/confused
Of course you are. Post something about Moonkin PVP on the forums. Make sure you follow it and bump the thread on something you care about repeatedly for the next few days.
By the middle of next week you will be banned.
Why? Because somebody making less than a college student thought you should be.

I've personally run into Wonka picking on people in WG and have been privy to his speed hacking outside of the actual WG vehicle based combat. I made it my mission to beat him down every time I saw him that day trying to kill someone just doing their fishing and such. At some point he apparently got tired of me killing him because he started doing things (and moving) far to quickly for it to be normal, killing me with more than one attack hitting within 1.5 seconds from my perspective. At the time I thought it might have been lag but upon further encounters found it to be something he just seemed to be able to do.
I think the whole "degradation of our country's moral fiber" is a bit much in relation to this but I will say one thing that is based an a simple code of ethics I rule my life by based on logic and principle that I use to define my morality:
I hate cheaters, they can die in a fire. Play by the rules, period. If there is no substance to your victory, no honor to your combat, you are a hollow person indeed.
The person who breaks these rules should be punished, not the people who report them; for that is truly one of the most illogical courses of action those in charge of enforcing the rules could make. It's like the judge shooting the witness after they testify.

Turns out it's not permanent. Still, I do not disagree with this bullshit. Here's the message I got (finally).

Is having the guys nameplate zoomed in during one of the scense against terms?
In your defense, I can see where you're coming from.
