New forums: Is this the way it's gonna be?

[:1]I got banned for posting in a thread that was completely irrelevant to anything related to diablo, basically a community wankfest, while relevant threads are being deleted left and right, asking why this thread wasn't deleted.
By the time I find a thread I deem worth responding to (which has actual content that isn't "LOL HUG A TUAREN DAY", or "dumb forum game poast nao", it's deleted.
Why so heavy handed, Blizzard? I haven't posted much on the new forums, but is this what we can expect in the future? A forum completely devoid of any semblance of intelligent conversation?
This type of moderation is a far cry from what we have on these legacy bnet forums which, in many respects, are handled in a far superior manner. I'm going to miss this forum when it's gone.|||LOL for how long?|||

It isn't permanent, which surprised me. I had no idea it wouldn't be, as I've never had any moderation issues on those other forums (the WoW/SC2 forums). #@@@ing ridiculous.

C'mon, Bash. Have a chat with your friends at work. :p|||Wow, that's extremely harsh for what you said.
Although, I think they could be trying to hold a heavy hand for a deeper purpose. We cried and cried for proper moderation and I guess maybe they're trying to over-do it as to say "here's your cake, now eat it!"
In any event, that's a ridiculous reason to ban someone, temporarily or otherwise.|||That's kinda funny; good thing it's not permanent.
RR: "mods, why you so bad?"
Mod: "oh rly? BANNED"|||Clearly your post wasn't spamming or trolling, at worst it was just very critical (ignoring the fact that it was actually constructive). However, critical to the moderation - which as we all know is punishable by death.|||

I thought it was a valid question. The stupid thread even had a blue response.
I just want to talk about Diablo and any interesting thread is deleted.
*!#% it. I'm going back to Deus Ex: Human Revolution. They obviously don't give a !@%@ about passionate fans who've been following development of the franchise damn near since its inception and tries to give good feedback.|||I'm sure that the reason you got banned was for contributing too intelligently to the conversation...|||These require additional ass kissing.|||That's a really lame reason to ban someone. I'm sticking to this forum right now, might migrate if I get beta access.|||

This right here. Considering how generally AWFUL moderation has been for years, when we finally get it, it's a bitter bitter pill.
I am quite surprised how they're letting Curse get so much free publicity, though. Long time ago they were running WoW gold ads on their mods site.|||Jesus Christ rising, some !**%@! just reported you here.
Yeah, dude, ive been trying as little as possible to post there but i cant stop. I dunno what it is. But for the longest time ive had many, many issues with Blizzard on certain things i say.
No issues here though, ever. Ever. So wierd.|||One of the first thing I saw in the other forums, other than the 100000 new people posting the same threads with the same obvious questions, is that people get reported for nothing. It's so stupid.. I saw somebody make a thread saying something like "Hey I found this is this legit?" about the press gettings e-mails... The post was reported. Wtf? Are people that dumb?
I can't believe you were banned for what you say. Some people are really posting crap and get nothing at all. I think a post is correct unless it's spamming, insulting or trolling (not just a joke or a bit of sarcasm, more than that).
We had Sammy here wich is the worse I ever saw in my life on forums and on the new forums it's really over moderated.|||Sammie was fairly easy to ignore.|||

Q u o t e:
Sammie was fairly easy to ignore.

Would see a moderator responding to people about a forum parasite insulting everybody and spamming 25 threads in a few minutes, by just saying : "Ignore him." ? I don't think so. I don't want to have to ignore every single troll that pops out. Plus Sammie had multiple accounts, ignoring one wouldn't ignore the new ones.
|||The issue was the forums arent secure.
Hes not an issue now cause these forums get nobody.|||http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/3074647564?page=4#75

bait and switch.
|||Ironically, I got a week long trolling ban for calling out Nethaera on her asinine response in this thread: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/3082208556

I have a feeling it's her doing much of the off the cuff moderation...this chick comes across as way too sensitive. Honestly we got spoiled having Bashiok run this place with his level-headed ways.|||

Lol I love that, other people are taking the piss too, but because they're 'joking around' they are ignored. However you are actually being serious and are trying to be constructive, giving her examples of threads you think she should check out, and apparently that constitutes spamming or trolling. Maybe 3 is too many links for one post.|||i got perm banned from this forum recently for trolling, never been banned for 2 years+ to instant permanent ban lol. I guess i lucked out with whomever was moderating at the time.
