Lurker Lounge now a hack site

[Raven]

Well on a Non Diablo related matter I'd like to post my experiances with the DII.Net group of websites. I found out that they had a policy of banning ppl for posting links to other sites, after they banned me for doing just that. I had just picked up Warcraft 3 and was doing the rounds of all the different warcraft sites on the net. I became involved in the WarcraftIII.Net forums and made the mistake of posting a link to another site in order to help other members on that forum. I was banned, no warning email, no PM, just out and out banned. I contacted them to try and figure out what I had done wrong and was ignored. I then went through their site policy with a fine tooth comb and came across the no link rule and realised that this must have been why.

The sad thing was, I was only being helpful. Someone had asked a question on the Newcomers Forum about guides for New players. I had found a least 2 good guides directed towards new players on two different sites, and posted the links so that the authors would be properly credited. For this I was banned. Given that I was polite, never flamed or swore, and was only trying to be helpful, I was stunned to say the least.

Oh well I'm back into Diablo now, and theres no way I'm going to post on D2.net or any of their other sites. If only other Blizzard games had high quality sites such as LL I'd feel more attached to the community.
