D&D 5E It happened again

[Lokiare]

Once again I suspect that the WotC forums have been hacked. I got this in the mail:

"Hello,

The Wizards Community account associated with this email address has been deactivated for violation of the Code of Conduct, specifically section 6, Room Disruption. You can find our Code of Conduct by clicking here . The violating content can be found below.

If that were true the government wouldn't be in a sequester

As a result, this account will no longer be able to access Wizards Community until 18 March 2013. This action has been taken in accordance with our Terms of Service.

Thank you for understanding our position in this matter. You may contact us with any questions regarding this issue.

Now, no self respectiong moderator would flag that as room disruption (which should only be used in a chat room by the way). So I suspect that the WotC forums have once again been hacked. I've sent an email to their customer support but haven't got a response. Sadly you have to go through their forums to find the customer support email address which means it could have been hacked to. I've heard the developers hang out here, I'm wondering if someone could get in contact with them and let them know of the possibility that their system has been hacked. Thanks.

Much more likely than a hack aimed at you is a moderator that is defending against off-topic chat and/or political discourse -- which isn't listed in the code of conduct, but is often frowned upon. Whether the moderator is considered overzealous would be a call of the management, but it probably falls into a gray area of moderator discretion.

Yep, what he said.

Brutal honest time.
You post some pretty inflammatory posts and regularly push buttons, so your posts are likely reported frequently (I've reported you myself on the WotC boards for inappropriate content).
With your account already flagged, the mods are unlikely to let little Codes of Conduct violations like talking about Religion of Politics slide. You just don't talk about those on those boards, they're an off-limits as well as off-topic. Especially as this is at least the second time your account has been banned.

Watch what you say and avoid bringing politics into the mix. Or you risk being permanently banned.

EN World has a pretty strict NO POLITICS rule. So, around here that would certainly have gotten moderator attention.

While I'm no expert on their moderation policies, I would be completely unsurprised if they had similar guidelines. I severely doubt that they were hacked. I also doubted they were hacked last time you suggested such as well. I'll doubt it again next time.

In any event, this is not Wizards Customer Support. Nor is is appropriate for us to nitpick the validity of their policies here. If you have an issue with them, please take it up with them. Thanks. Thread closed.
