What is this?

[Lokiare]

I don't know but I think the WotC forums have been hacked. I received this email today and can no longer access the forums there. Does anyone know what's going on?

I can access WotC forum just fine. From that email it looks like you have been suspended. Did you post that material or not? If not, you'll have to get in touch with an admin.

Yes, I posted that short sentence, but harassment? for saying I think 5E won't do well? Seriously I think they've been hacked or something. I sent an email to customer support to find out what's going on, but something is definitely weird....

Occam's Razor suggests that someone reported your post, the admins thought it was rude, and you got binged for three days. I have a hard time envisioning a scenario where someone hacks into the Wizards boards specifically to ban you.

Exactly. Contacting the admins is a good move, but the hacking scenario sounds a bit far fetched.

Probably ongoing concerns rather than that one post... I remember you from when I used to go there...

Maybe, maybe not.

Yeah, if I assume correct (based on what happened with Bioware or something), companies don't like it very much when slander is laid out in front of them.

This looks like it was a moderation action on WotC's forums. Let's not get into speculation on whether it is harassment, slander, or whatever. They felt it was against their rules. Enough said. Thread closed.
