They started a survey regarding the interest of a Dragon online version so to speak.

Same here! I got it and told them the same... Dragon online is just not the same... especially not with the article quality being so poor these days. |

| Well, if I get a chance to do that survey, I'll tell 'em what I think. Thanks for the heads-up. |

I have, multiple times. The first time I panicked and changed my email and Gleemax (I hate that name) passwords, then I realized it was just Gleemax being stupid. |

-Mmmhmm...You'll find no sympathy from me.
I didn't expect it. Any place that comes down on people for mentioning the possibility of a novel, or for saying a post is unintelligible, is not a place that would be expected to give sympathy. And yes, those were two of my three strikes. I don't know what the third was, because the entire offending thread was deleted. Global warnings may be easy, but they step on a lot of innocent toes.
Good attitude, by the way. Someone has, thru no fault of his own, been denied access to WotC's content. And your response is that you don't care. Excellent customer service!

I'll disagree with people not being disciplined for no reason. Global warnings on everyone in a thread, regardless of what they did, mean that innocent people can, and have been, disciplined. All I said was that a particular post was unintelligible. But some people in the thread went further, and I caught the hammer along with them.
And when discussing existing novels is forbidden, saying that a particular person hasn't written a novel, but that it might be good if he did, shouldn't be a violation of the rules -- but it somehow was.
And I still don't know what my alleged third offense was, since the entire thread was deleted. I suspect that it was another global warning inflicted on an innocent bystander, but we'll never know, because the info is gone.

Nope. When I am kicked off after doing nothing but being helpful to others, it does not make me want to have anything to do with that forum. Until such time as I receive an apology and the ability to use my chosen name -- the one that was banned -- then nothing will get me back over there. Not even money. |

-It is a volunteer position, in so far as I don't receive any compensation for what I do, nor am I affiliated with the company in an official manner. I have specific duties that I perform, but none of that includes making others happy. In fact, much of what I do makes other unhappy. That's not to say that I don't go out of my way to make people happy, though. I do, most of the time. You'll find only a select few who dislike me (and, truth be told, these individuals seem to have agendas, to begin with).

-Personally, I find this kind of stance childish. Especially if you then complain about not being able to access specific things, like those preview articles. But, to each his/her own. I'm not here to argue. |

Childish to be unhappy about being treated unfairly? Childish to be unhappy that I can't use the name I want? Childish to be so offended that I won't go back until treated properly?
Wow, those are uses for the word "childish" that I've never seen before. |

I think I've had that happen to me. As said before, that was probably just the forums being screwy. They've been very screwy as of late. |

Have you ever written to WotC customer service about this? If not, I'd consider trying it. If you don't say anything, nothing is likely to ever happen.
If you have written to them, and it was a while ago, consider trying again. IIRC, you're describing an event that happened years ago. I've seen some really undeserving (IMO, of course) people get a "pass", so maybe this time a deserving perosn will get one. |

I tried, on two separate occasions, to take it up with WizO_BigSis. I was polite and respectful both times, but couldn't get very far. The second time, so much time had passed that even she didn't know what was in the deleted thread, and couldn't check. After that, I just gave up. |

Well, it seems like what happened is still bothering you, so you might as well try again. I don't know for sure, but I don't think Wiz_O BigSis is even around any more.
Heck, why not try to recreate your old account? It's worth a shot. |

Honestly, I no longer want to be on those forums, at least not at the level of involvement I once had. There is the odd occasion when I want to comment, but since I hardly ever even look, that doesn't happen oft.
I think they set a permanent ban on names. And if I can't post under the name I used to use before my banning, then I'm not going to post.
I think I need to stop threadjacking this thread, though.  |

All the more reason to register under a new name, Wooly.  Who cares then what it is, as long as you are able to view the 'dubious' DDI content that you need a Gleemax -- gods I despise that name -- account for. Yes, I know it's the principal of the thing, but life's too short -- and often too unfair -- for us to always expect justice.  Time to move on, I think.
