They let the thread go on for years, so I’m confident it wasn’t his complaining. I think it was all the sock puppets coming out of the woodwork posting fake math, creating ridiculous witch hunter theories, and calling anyone who debunks them a troll… is what made the mods wipe it out. Then again, with how inconsistent and wishy washy the mods are, you never really know. I’ve seen threads/posts removed that were not even a violation while watching someone call others vulgar, derogatory words and despite repeat reports, nothing is done.

I linked that before when you moaned bout link proof and showed you the link where you called everyone above you a cheat after a week because you weren’t on top
If you can’t be bothered reading it, not my problem
and I’m confused as to when you ask for link proof and I give it to you, you can’t be bothered reading it and ask for it again
I read this and at the DH part I didn’t think Demon Hunter
I remember you complaining about top of the leaderboards constantly in that deleted thread of yours. Perhaps, now that you got what you wanted, just give a break to complaining and stop taking the game serious for a while until next season?
Trying to raise awareness in hopes of implementing justice in a game overridden with cheaters isn’t complaining, plus there are tons of similar threads all pointing towards the same goal.
D3 is one of my favorite games of all time, Blizzcons included, D3 is a hobby I enjoy greatly.
Seeing the competative aspect of D3 fall to cheaters is disheartening.
I am glad bans were issued and today is a positive one, not negative.

Then why did you make this one?

His number of posts has decreased significantly over the past few days…
Metalhead’s has? First of all, I disagree. But second, and more importantly, what does that have to do with what I wrote?
He said there are tons of similar threads already on these forums. So my question is, if there are already tons of similar threads, why did he need to create a new one last week. Why not just post on one of the many others?
Oh yeah, because this is more about his need for attention than anything else.

And then when you think twice…? Maybe you can read the underlying message if you try again?
He thinks to be the white knight, that is alone against the bots/cheaters.
He doesn’t understand that a lot of players/members hate bots/cheatears, but without proofs (real proofs), Blizzard can’t ban a (or several) player just on accusations.
Nobody cares, but I gained 9 places in the WD ranking with the last ban wave, so I’m currently rank 81 on the EU servers

When a white knight shows up to save the day you need to clean up all the 
his horse leaves behind.

Metalhead liked your post. I guess I don’t understand this one either, because I thought he was the white knight. 
I must need more coffee this morning.
I’ve liked posts of people who were being just insulting. Psyches them out

Incorrect, there are tons of threads wanting justice, no such thing as a white night. Only Blizz can enforce their own platforms, not a single end user.
Incorrect, Blizz can remove any account they want for whatever reason they want whenever they want. Yes I do understand how many players dislike cheaters, I hear about it constantly in and out of game. Quite an assumption there 
Tons care hence why we have so many threads on this topic alone. I would also argue that the cheaters care when justice gets served to them, their bot alts and cheater buddies get hammered and they come here to cry.
The only people responsible for getting banned are the cheaters themselves.
Pointing fingers at others won’t bring them back, they got what they deserved and the public official forums are not a healthy outlet for that type of behavior.
Where’s that happening? The only one I constantly see crying on these forums, is you.

Well, when you come here every other day and whine about cheaters, you are most definitely complaining, especially considering everybody knows that there are cheaters in the game, so you aren’t raising awareness of anything
It’s still a negative because according to you
They do a ban and it’s still pointless according to you, so why even bother with a ban if you complain either way
and look I sourced your link for you, because you apparently can’t remember what you wrote, not that you will read it either way
If they ban the IP how does anything get through when it’s banned
If you flag the IP and checking the accounts you obviously haven’t banned the IP
Hardware ID ban isn’t a IP ban
and looking up IP ban all you get is instructions on how to get around it
You are running around telling everyone there are bots and cheats, so tell me, how many people read your complaints and said
wait, what, there are cheats you can get, got to look that up and get me one of those

I finally had some time to log in and check.
It seems they only removed a few players on the 4 player boards.
I wouldn’t categorize last nights bans as a banwave, just another cherry picked select few extreme examples.
There are still 12k botters on the boards unbanned.
While any bans are better then no bans, it seems they missed a lot too.
Or perhaps they are in the process still of banning, and we need to be patient before they’re done.
Uhh, I assume you mean Nav (the Korean character, at the top of a bunch of the boards) and Berserk, and they are both banned. I guess if you had more than a basic understanding of this game you could have figured that out.
In early January, I reported to the hacks teams 28 accounts who had >2,100 S27 hours as of Dec. 31. These accounts were primarily but not exclusively in 3 clans. In general, there were a couple of lines of evidence to support why these accounts were highly suspicious.
The good news is that 27 of the 28 were apparently banned as indicated either by their missing leaderboard entry and/or by their last update on their career webpage (i.e. last update being ~5:19pm PST yesterday). The one exception which is hard to know either way is an account that last played in mid/late December.
The bad news is that Blizzard did not apparently ban all the alts of these players. Specifically, there were two cases where I am 99% confident that I identified and reported two players bounty bots that had far less hours than their S27 main. Both of these accounts still exist.
I do not think cheaters understand fully the digital fingerprints that they leave behind. These were discussed in my e-mail to Blizzard’s hacks team to provide additional evidence of potential misbehavior.
Although I say “potential misbehavior:”, Blizzard in their bans have confirmed almost fully what I suspected.
