It's EASY, I just couldn't seem to do that here for some reason... From all you describe, it all sounds perfectly legitimate. I still go there in fact, never once been banned because I go there with one singular purpose, suggesting things to Blizzard.
I had been on the forum since warcraft III started on day one, I defended blizzard year after year despite the overly critical bastards who treat blizzard like its microsoft or some evil empire because the patch isnt coming fast enough or complaining that they have to pay for TFT and "blizzard rip us "BS,So many of them say they dont even play the game anymore but still post in the forum just to give everyone else hell who still does and likes it.The forum became so neagotive it was just a mob often If I had somthing better to do at that time I would have done it and avoid getting too emotionaly involved , Warcraft III in TFT needed alot of fixing so it was not so playable somtimes.
Things would be better now that WOW shifted attention away and less people post in Warcraft III forums.
I loved blizzard so much for so many years played hours after hours I even went many nights without sleep couldnt stop thinking about warcraft orcs & humans went through the trouble of visiting the blizzard head quartres on my trip to california for my uncles wedding a few years ago in 1999, Of course they dont give tours I found that out but they were still generous they gave me a poster and answered a few questions,That lifesize Diablo was cool. I felt betrayed by that Ban and still I forgave it since then one who did it didnt know me or my history.
DJ you got more places to go and more to do then myself,I was a hardcore fan to the point at one time Blizzard was my homepage on my broswer I checked once a day if not more somtimes, I bought the official Blizzard art sketch Book made fan art after examining it and tracing over it .I own a starcraft action figure and I got 3 warcraft papper back novels, You could call me a blizzard freak and I still am. I posted in warcraft III forum like you do mostly but I got to sucked into everything else in it,The only way you could do it without ever risking getting slaped is socializing as little as possible in ungame related things and not getting too caught up with 50% of those posts and so be self restrictive on yourself to prevent you from getting to involved with the forum so much and not the game.
I post in the starcraft forum which has less traffic less moderation with the SC cdkey,Everything is going fine its just a better atmosphere the only people who post are mostly veteran SC players who usually have a much wiser look on the game, So there is no reason to argue.
It allows me to post in the warcraft III forum I gave feedback again for months and still can now, Its just I cant post in WOW forum or see my Icon.
I tried and begged for forgiveness but their policy is that all decisions are final regardless, It would be better if they just suspended you for a month for minor things and only baned like this for repeat offenders or serious board spam trashers.At one time blizzard suspended peoples accounts for a month after hacking and not a full ban ( I did not hack never been baned off B.Net itself) but many repeated again and their policy on everything grew more severe and less forgiving ,In regards to hacking its understandable since so many are scum who dont give shit about anything and are selfish always cheat and lie,But in the forum it waisnt necesarry to go to that extent for the most minor things.
If TC was like that we would all be baned right now even Ryan *if he didnt own it*.
