Another wrongfully banned post

Read some of the ban threads :slight_smile: . Reversal emails and apologies are already going out. It does appear something triggered a false positive on their anti cheat detection. Many people posting here already have their accounts back.

The folks who submitted their appeals en mass helped, I am sure, bring it to the attention of the Hacks team for more review.

Oh thats good news then. Didn’t see that as I just woke up today and as of yesterday it was just people getting the bans. Thanks for the update.

Mine has been unbanned as well.

Here’s my thread:

Glad you have been proven vindicated.

According to the forum clowns, blizzard can do no wrong… yeah right…

The forum is very healthy.

Nobody submitted D4 appeals - the web page is broken.

Can you help escalating this to relevant team to at least have an appeal tool in the next ban wave?

and I will counter argue, that if true, and Blizzard’s warden is banning people using crypto mining software, that they need to pull the finger out, lift the bans, apologise to affected players, and compensate them duly, or risk group lawsuit action. if Warden has screwed up this time, then it’s entirely plausible that it has stuffed up in the past and banned players illegitimately.

Ultimately, Blizzard is responsible for its software. Installing monitoring software on a person’s computer is a US federal crime btw.

I agree. That has nothing to do with my view that crypto-mining is a cult, a fad, an NFT if you will, a ponzi scheme, a house of cards built on sand. It produces nothing of real tangible value or any services.

How you think that mining crypto on your main pc it’s a good idea?

for all people know, actually d4 could simply be an easy way to distract people and keep em busy while they gently offer all that ram and raw gpu power from their pcs, to be employed to cryptofarm or whatever other use from shared computing on large scale (as a vg could offer) that was deemed convenient and profitable for anyone interested to something of that kind.

hey, why should always be players, the one suspected of malicious use of software. after all, if you notice, nobody ever explained you ever what real use of all that ram and gpu is for.

and bliz had already in the past shared computing programmes, only that they declared those (the deepmind sc2 joint-venture experiment for example, look no further than that). here we all have a software running on our pc, and you don’t know what it does with our ram and gpu aside the usual intuible purpose (apart the curious fact it often employs far more memory and resources than reasonably should), yet we definitely know they want to keep it running with nothing else to disturb it (let alone if it were, by chance, something competing with what might be running there, if someone were using it for shared computing…).

mind you, no accusations, here. only hypotetical stuff for lazy thoughts.

Just because it is open source, doesn’t mean it’s safe. One of the crypto had a piece of code to send mined coin to a dev’s wallet. Passed review and no one caught it for a while.

I know. I am well aware the support web page is broken and has been since release. I have already done what I can to remind the Forum Support Agents and ask if they know of any timeline on a fix. They are not part of the web team though and have not replied with any information on if, or when, it will get fixed.

I can’t personally do more than that. I have no contact with the Web team. MVPs are limited to the front line interface folks like the CM or Forum support agents. Same ones that post on the forums already.

For now, people have to use the D3 appeal path (and note that the appeal is for D4) or another “not listed here” type path. Again specify the website ticket system is not working for D4 appeals.

“Oh another I never cheated post” (Where the user most likely cheated)

People have been utilizing a cheaty overlay that shows the map and all kinds of other information that is not suppose to be available to the player.

They also have been using 3rd party apps that highlight items for them that are of value, and in order to do this they are reading the game memory.

Along with that, using the previous game exploit to bring eternal characters, money, and put malignant hearts in places they shouldn’t be allowed.

In short, ya’ll knew what you were doing, and got caught in the cookie jar.

Didn’t follow the thread, did you? I suggest you read through the body of this thread, and a couple of others having this issue - it wasn’t cheating. They did get their accounts re-instated, Blizz caught their mistake in overreaching.

I may have my own issue behind what the underlying cause was, but that is a separate issue.

Another asset to the D4 society, thank you for your valuable comment.

I got to ask. Is crypto mining actually paying off? I’ve heard that all it does is suck up electricity…

Depends what you call a real job. Most of us are useless and haven’t realized it yet.

Blizz false banning people in droves over a crypto mining program… priceless.

Here’s what I don’t understand - if crypto is so great, why do these people always express the value in real currency and sell them for real world dollars? Wait, I thought the whole idea behind the scam was to get away from the dollar, but you’re selling bitcoins for dollars?
