"If you agree with this ban, $ #$%@#@$% @$#% you."
The swear word is clearly implied by context. You're only fooling
yourself if you think it's not. You actually prove that in your last
message. The message you are sending is quite clear.
Quite clear?!?!? Count the letters. I had said "I disagree with you." If
you actually saw a swear word on that, you are the one fooling yourself.
You post on Blizz's forums had no ambiguity with regards to the number of letters. Your message was clear.
That's not the point tho. All you needed to do was offend one person. Then the little biohazard goes up on your post and Blizz reviews it. Blizz looks it over and says, "yeah, I could see where someone could be offended here", and they ban you. The number of letters doesn't really matter as long as someone actually has cause to be offended.

Pocket Warriors - A pokemon-style game with SC2 units and full banking. New demo coming soon!
I hope you learned your lesson Rod….. As a map maker too…we all know the popularity system is flawed…. I myself made a map that is way down the list now but also had a chance to get to the 3rd spot on first page last December…..
There’s only two reason why a map doesnt get to the first page or doesnt last on the first page if it gets there…..
1.Map is really not the fun…. 2.First time published, pop system suck, players cant find the new published map….(so work on advertising)
I don’t want to be detailed on this one….it’s up to you to find out….........
My general point on this is just be patient…...and keep moving…... Don’t force people to debate if they don’t want to. I know some people play your map…but if you still trying to get your map back to popularity and stil fail…..well that’s the only players that plays your map…. that’s how your map is popular….no matter what..especially if it went on page 1 and had a chance to get tried….
As an advice from me….. Try to ask random players at Bnet to see if what they most like on a map…... One of the answer is “should be fun”.
Don’t expect that if you made cool FPS/TPS out of the SC2 Engine…..people will play it…. Yeah its cool and awesome for people who understand it mostly the map maker….
“Wow you made that out from SC2 engine”? from a map maker
Expect what will be an answer from a common Sc2 players…
“Ew..FPS? piece of crap” – 4 of my friend from Bnet (They dont know Im a map maker) “You made that map? I dont like it….you cant build things? – 2 of my facebook friends (I made an FPS map)
Population of common Sc2 players – 95% Map maker 5%
So make map that a Sc2 players want… not what you can come up from your mind…
Im so sorry for this but I’m just helping you relax and be patient. Always remember the general audience want…
PS: Dont argue with your warning letter about the bad words you just post…... The reason they giving you this is entirely your attitude in the forum….. Dont get crazy about the pop system…..and about your map not getting played. That’s why Sixen started a thread about improving the popularity system….........in a peaceful and zero-hatred way. It’s just a matter of waiting and being patient.
Also, Blizz really should stop worrying about peoples behavior and start worrying about making a game that breaks average. Cata and SC2 pretty much define how gaming is going for Blizz. Underachievers, lazy, communist left tree huggin liberalists, and horrible with nurturing the community.
You are pretty screwed up in your mind. Blizzard has made AAA titles, Starcraft 2 being one of them. I'd like to see you do better. Underachivers? Lazy? I find that really funny because you probably don't even know how much time it takes to make a fully polished AAA title. Not all companies need to 'nurture' to a community. Since when was the Community the Game Maker and the company the Servant? I don't recall your name being in the credits on World of Warcraft OR Starcraft...
P.S: This thread is a whine-fest. There's no point to it. Rodrigo knows what he did wrong, we've all told him and someone who's been on the internet for awhile knows what %#@$ ^@^@&&*%#$%&# is. I find it hilarious how he's trying to justify himself somewhere where no one really cares or has anything to deal with his post.
To add to the whining (:P), and to quote a meme, This is why we can't have nice things. I perfectly understand why blizzard doesn't want to help us, and i don't blame them. Who WOULD want to listen to people like Rodrigo and mephs? It makes me very upset that they have to melt down so much and hurt the reputation of the entire mapping community (who i suspect is at least reasonable, with the exception of the few drama queens).

Ok. Next time we will make only classic war3 maps and cheers for our maps being popular. So that, everyone will be happy, and no one would complain about the pop. system. Innovation causes people to complain, which hurts the reputation of the mapping community. So, let's avoid innovation as much as we can.
There's a big difference between calmly and politely rounding up a comprehensive list of issues like this guy did, and having weekly/monthly rageposts because blizz isn't listening to you. I'm perfectly fine with providing feedback, but not when it basically consists of "blizzard sux for not listening to me when i whine, theres tons of issues with the pop system cuz this totally niche game isnt uber popular".
I'm not offended by your ban, I am pretty offended that you are trying to lie to a lot of people here. In the screenshot its really obvious what you were going to say.
"#$%@ IM DONE WITH DEBATES!" Is implying you either said F*#K or S*#T. I wasn't offended by you saying that, but after lying about it, I am offended. Then, $#@#@$@, is the same amount of letters one would using to say F*#king. The way you said that sentence is implying that is what you meant. I fully agree you deserved the ban and were wrong.

I am offended by you saying that I was lying. If someone deserves a ban is you for offending me by calling me a liar. When I wrote #$%@ on the title, I swear I wasn't thinking in any word. I was just typing those symbols randomly to express anger. It's a coincidence that this is the same number of letter of "shit" and "fuck"
Rod. shows his true colors here. I am no idiot, @#@% means fuck or shit. You got banned hahahahahahhahahaahahahah and then you post a thread here as if blizzard did something wrong and unjustified
Tip, for your next ban announcement thread, dont post any screenshots, we might believe you next time that you are innocent.
Karawasa, unless I'm missing something, I don't see how this system helps. It is now easier to find obscure maps to play again that aren't popular, but I believe the exposure of different maps to the players is still the same because there are still only categories for TD and Tug.

That's Mephs' post on the Blizz Forums 1 hour ago.
Very funny Mephs, but you're not good enough to get a ban like mine.
EDIT:
Blizz just sent me a reply to my email:
I'm just wondering what information.
You guys are small time.
1 month suspension here, final warning.
I'd echo what i posted to get me banned but this forum is my last voice in the custom map scene and frankly I can't risk that ;)
the blizz auto messages are not funny at all.. they were back in the days of warcaft1
blocked in europe.. other link? .. repost it if it's real interesting or don't bother if not cause i know the song... it's great but it does not apply

Wrong is to pretend everything is alright and behave like an angel when you are not.

I'm not behaving like an angel, lol...Since when did this turn into a pop system discussion?
Since people start thinking that being banned is exactly the same of being wrong.
Wrong is to offend other people. Read the thread that caused my ban and tell me: What in there offended you?
What is funny is that this guy wasn't banned: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/2140445766 (I'm not asking him to be banned and I'm not going to report him. I just find it funny).

That sums it up. <3
sigh... It's sad that people now don't care to be treated as a 12-years-old kid.
You pretty much have no reason to complain anymore with patch 1.3. I take it this is the end of the drama?
