Christ on a bike, get a hold of yourselves.

Our season is over? <sigh>

We're going to win the Champion's League. You watch. This is the best United team in fucking years. YEARS.

Scoring though eh, that's the name of the game!

It'll come. We're gonna bag a shitload this season.

I say old chaps, jolly good show this weekend. Pip! Pip!

I'd have to see it again to be 100% but my memory is that he went over the ball and that's enough to be a red.

Yep. Not nasty, just careless. Playing with fire if you go in studs up like that.

Fair play to reading. Hahnemann was great in the second half. Coppell did what he had to:

I'd have loved to have gone 4-4-2 and seen what happened but we'd have got hammered.

We're gonna win the Champion's League this year, it's gonna be good.

Cheers. I'm not going to post mine until I've sorted it out. It looks crap atm.

Nope, sadly not.

:::sad:::

what addon lets you have the one big block of buttons in the middle, instead of the horizontal/vertical action bar style?

Will this work on a US Wii?

*crosses fingers*

Took them 12 days, but I'm back

Still nothing from them. This is really fucking aggravating.

WAR looks like it's actually going to be doing something different.

How so?

No response from Blizzard customer support, of course. Pretty fucking annoying to be paying them money to ignore me.

You going to appeal it?

I've mailed them back to point out that is seems somewhat harsh, particularly given the much fruitier language you hear in game every day. Had the usual stock reply back, so we shall see.

I'd just pre-paid a load of months too, so if they do really keep me banned I'm going to investigate what I can do to get my money back. I know I signed a EULA that says I wouldn't call little begging arseholes such, but they've still taken money off me for something they're not providing.

Their customer service really is absolutely terrible. Dangerous game to play: they're top dog at the moment, but nothing is guaranteed.

Entrapment!

Devious, Blizzard. Devious.

Heh. Not too far fetched that he could either be a GM, or know one. Seems a pretty extraordinary course of action to take against a paying customer otherwise, I'd say.

Anyhow, I'm now having fun with the guy who reported me. I've created a new character (sneakalot the rogue), and I'm messing with his head. Hehe, this is fun: little research on the armory goes a long way... he's convinced I'm one of his dipshit friends. Haha.

I managed to steal 3 gold off a beggar once. Trade window confusion = LOL.

Haha, nice.

Blizz probably have to cover their arses on this kind of stuff though. You can imagine at a stretch that player being some whiny little kid who might point his parents at the terrible sexually-charged abuse he's been exposed to. Cue Daily Mail headline.

Bit exaggerated that but y'know, just to make the point.

Ya, i hear you. though I'm not sure it's that. Some kid called me a 'fucking taleban faggot' (and much worse actually) last weekend, and he didn't get banned. The profanity filter is there to protect the kids.

I kinda feel like this guy might have some connection to someone at blizz: just seems so unbelievable that he'd report me for saying that, then that I'd get immediately banned.

What's Blizz's policy on begging?

I guess they'd say that people can do what they want - just like ninjas.

I suspect you used up the rest of your lives for using a power-levelling service.

Yeh, I agree. Their heavy handed approach is rather irritating though: and it's not like not having people like me there does the game any good. It needs more grown-ups like me in there, truth me told. I see how it's my fault for being an idiot when I first played, but still seems somewhat harsh to continue to count that as a black mark against my name four months later. Esp when talking about such a very minor infraction as calling a dick a dick.

graced the ignore list of more users than there are boars in Dun Modor.

Don't you feel liberated now, though? I said goodbye to Fishbones and suddenly I've got free time to be spontaneous with again! It's amazing.

Nah, I was still really into it. Kinda pissed tbh ) :

But that's ridiculous, isn't it?

Eagle eyed (sharp memoried) forumites might remember a thread I started about me being an idiot shortly after starting playing Wow a few months ago, when I used a lvling service to get an alt to 20 (laughable really). Anyhow, Blizz were very reasonable about it, though communication with them was somewhat drawn out, they ultimately reinstated my main character and told me not to be so silly again.

Fast forward a few months, now I've got a 57 priest, 31 mage, 25 war and 24 lock. I'm playing on the mage today when somebody asks me for '54s for something from the auction house'. 'Nope, sorry' i reply, prompting him to reply simply 'noob'. What I should have done is simply ignore him, however instead I called him a dick. Not the wittiest of retorts, but appropriate. One word whisper: 'dick'.

He reported me, and I just got a perm ban. Awesome.

Come join Magtheridon. No lag here.

What?

Cheers guys.

So it's been a week now since I first mailed them. Nothing.

Woot. My letter to them worked:

Be aware that any additional inappropriate actions may result in the permanent closure of the account. For security and privacy reasons, the account password has been reset to the registered email address of the account and received the above action. Once access has been restored or your suspension has elapsed, please use the new password that has been sent to your registered e-mail address to log into the game client.

Awesome. I'm quite impressed: they were very slow to get back to me, but they handled it rather reasonably I think. Changed the ban into an immediate final warning. Woot!

Hey Phelan - do you have an actual person's email address, or is it the generic one? I'm trying to get a response about my banned account, and it's been over a week now without anyone replying to my mail. If you have a direct email address, could I get that off you please?

Cheers guys.
