Account closed, warning people

[sirmessbu]

I was playing on d2 with 2 computer spammed a little on trade channel with 2nd computer. Got disconnected and when I tried logging back got the nastiest message ever. Your account has been closed.

The only 3rd program I use is name synergy and have nothing to do with diablo. it simply let me use same keyboard and mouse for both computer.


Only thing I can think is that blizzard is closing all accounts they might suspect botting (maibe I went a little to hard on the spaming) or if they find someone with a duped rune or whatever. Cause that account was holding my tradable runes and mf caracters.

Maibe its having 2 copy of d2 running on same ip, but I been doing this for 2 years now.

I never used mh or download program beside atma and synergy. Have baught all my d2 cd copy from store and have valid cd-keys.

If anyone can help me understand what happen to me, I would be please to have an answer.

what was the message they gave you when they closed the account? if you tell us the number we can let you know whrther you were banned for spamming or having two connections open to bnet.

maybe someone can post the list here(it's saved on my other comp.)...most people know what (8) is.:laugh:

[sirmessbu]

the messaged said (1). Didn't know this had something to do with it.


Seriously, would have spamming a little in channel got my account closed?

on a side note, Superdave great job on that hc passive zon can't wait to see a ss of hell baal defeated by you.

Because I was curious on what it meant, I did a little google search. This is what I pulled up:

[sirmessbu]

funny Sd, I was simply spamming, looking for gmb faith lv13+ w* my account.

I guess whatever program looking to close people account simply looks for spamming people or something. even tho I see a lot of spam in the trade channel, more then I even was doing it at the time.

I guess that life goes on, ill just be even more impatient for new ladder now that I lost 1 third of my wealth.

usually they just mute your key...did you lose your keys and accounts?

[sirmessbu]

only got account closed( with the (1) message) and that d2 on my 2nd computer is now muted. Can't get message or message ayone in game with that game version.

Nah, that's not muted ^


If your CD key was muted, it would prevent you from whispering anyone
on battle.net at all, please note that you would still be able to
whisper people from in game however. You will also be able to receive all
whispers regardless.

I had a similar problem where I couldn't send/recieve whispers sporatically and asked them about it. It's now fixed though on my end :scratch:

BTW, did this last scan for bots and hackers definitely prevent beeing spammed by these stupid adverts about items-selling sites on BNet ?

No.
I think there are actually even more.

[zeskelnec]

AAArrrghhh !
btw: As soon as I do not mention their names and stay under certain limit (tell me if i am overboard) . I have a question.
How do these items sellors work : Do they have a team playing to find runes, items and roll them, or are they just intermediate selling what some players on Bnet trade with them (or sell them for cash). Or do they dupe runes and roll ?

this is ot; but i imagine that they just dupe runes and use those to trade for whatever the buyer asks for. that would seem to be the logicalest [is that a real word?] and cost efficent way to do that.

So back ON TOPIC, it is funny that they go ahead and mess with someone who was spamming in a trade channel (isn't that all tha happens there anyway?) rather than hitting up any of the other dozens of spambots that annoy you in games.

Seriously, I recognize some of them by name now.

[JEstevam]

I got an account closed for advertising a site, and they closed it with same error (1), considering there's nothing on the site that breaks the rules, and it has 4 small thumbnails of a bare girl from the back not showing any genitalia, nipple/areoa, or anus.... i fail to see how that's pornography, it's not even softcore pornography... it's what you see at the beach....

this is bogus

Interesting....:scratch:
This could be interpreted that their are Appropriate uses:shocked:

[Feysal]

Maybe you were being sarcastic, maybe not, but there is one use for bots that is being tolerated, though not supported by Blizzard: chat room bots. There are some Op channels with bots moderating them, and from what I've heard, Blizzard lets them be.

[DinnDinn]

i feel the spambots are worse now, they are even whispering me now..not only in the channels/lobby, but in game too..aaarrgghh..

[sirmessbu]

Wow thats some sick thread necroing, hahah.

Yeah sure bots are still and pain and seems they will always be.
