Twitch.tv - Unfair Banning For No Reason

Well.I woke up this morning and excitedly clicked the link to watch Garylife  (Reckful's funny brother) stream on Twitch.tv. Too bad MiaRose wasn't online so he decided to go out and buy a new Hookah for some reason.

I went and took a nap, when I woke up again to click on an email from Twitch that a person I was following was online (ironically) I found out that I was banned from Twitch.TV

No e-mails, nothing..I mean at least send me an email that you banned me or something. I probably don't even want an explanation anymore. Although it would be sweet to know exactly just what you did.

Hell, a warning would have sufficed but apparently Twitch.tv can't be bothered with that.

In another news, 2 weeks ago, a gamer was banned also for "putting makeup on" and eating a banana.

He was already warned to:

1) Not show or touch his nipples, as it would be too sexual 

but he can

1)Take his shirt off

Okay, as far as I have noticed, this site is run by antisocial bullies (moderators), who would just slap you with the banhammer if they're having a shitty day, cause honestly I have seen other people show their nipples (the girls - through their shirts), attention whore like crazy and whatnot. Their rules aren't exactly black and white..or is that blue and gray, and to be honest, it's an obvious double standard.

Who knows. Who cares anymore.

Apparently this is what you should do in case you had the same case as me..

Go to this page:

http://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/emails/new

It will ask for your channel name and your email address associated with your Twitch.tv accoutn. Try to be as nice as possible, beg and vow to never do whatever it was that you did again. If you're lucky, the moderator reading it would feel softhearted and possibly unban you.

I'm turned off by this site, and thank heavens I can't even view anything anymore, cause apparently even if you aren't logged in, if you are banned, you cannot watch any stream..you might be able to open a streamers channel but you will get this message:

Twitch.tv is for gaming content only...


Okay.........like that makes sense, I wasn't a streamer so that line is purely irrelevant.


Twitch.tv is a real class act. Hopefully they aren't letting site run by bots. I was a Twitch.tv member for 5 years (Justin.tv actually) and have been donating to the streamers.

By the way Twitch.tv, please fix your Ipad app. It is all black when I am trying to watch from it. Since I am not going to watch streams anymore, at least do it for your other customers if you care.

Blood-curdling scream..

I remember a few months ago when I was really heavy into arena. Well let's just say the passion never really died ever since Season 2 arena but I have not really been like one of those hardcore arena players either. I just did what I could and left it to that, I thoroughly enjoyed the freedom of BG PVP though. It spells of teamwork, random groups calling out and nerds trying hard to be more sociable and ask for stuff like "call out early" or "INC BS!".

Anyway a few months ago before Teamfind.com was put into use, I did arena games with my Warrior..me and this guy have been playing since Season 2 and I totally forgot how mad he would get especially because he thought I didn't dispel him or heal myself or why I didn't heal him without considering the fact that I was stunned, spells were on GCD or maybe even when I was dead.

I don't have enough screenshots of what happened but basically it didn't end well. I played with an Arms spec Warrior using my Shadow Priest on Alliance-Tichondrius basically because I couldn't seem to last more than 2 seconds as healer. No idea why.

Despite the fact of all these, we never practiced and were barely gemmed/geared we reached like 1200 or so and I was fairly happy. I just disliked all the stress. Raised cortisol levels whilst playing a video game like WoW I was supposed to enjoy just didn't make sense.

WoW account - how do you get hacked and keylogged?

Nothing fixes a thing so intensely in the memory, as the wish to forget it." - Michel de Montaigne

Well guess who got keylogged after 7 long years of not.

I got that e-mail the moment I rolled out of bed and found out that someone transferred my beloved but unused pally. I barely use this toon because I can only heal on her and she was very lucky with rolls/drops on gear (even mounts). The hacker must've taken a lot of time because I have about 10 level 85 toons and most of them have their old gear (season 1 season 2 arena gear, etc) which he vendored.

What I did:

1)Logged on my email, I use gmail and I could see the keylogger was not able to go to my gmail account because his ip didnt show up there. Either that or he could bypass that /cringe/

2)I went on WoW customer service forums as well as posted a request on Bnet and sent a ticket saying that my account was keylogged and someone's credit card was used to transfer my toon.

3)Blizzard froze my account, and even banned/blocked my entire Cataclysm account

4)I changed my password and my e-mail's password

I waited 2 days because I didn't want to send them my personal data (passport, birth certificate, driver's license etc). Sat around moping and thinking about how life is unfair and where did I go wrong, etc. Lots of self-loathing. -_-

I gave in and I eventually called Blizzard's customer service number, Phone: Toll-free at (1-800-592-5499)

I spoke to a customer service guy who asked me these details

a)my email address associated with my game account

b)my security question and the answer

c)my name used on the account

d)last 4 digits of credit card (that I used to pay for the account sometimes)

I eventually got my account back but it was very distateful and made me feel like I didn't want to play anymore. Firstly because:

a)I scanned my pc and I did not find anything, these are the programs I used

1)Malwarebytes

2)Spybot search and destroy

3)Ccleaner

4)Avast anti virus

5)Ad-aware

6)Security Task Manager

7)Spyware Blaster

8)Rkill

9)TDSSkiller

10)Hijackthis

11)Hitmanpro

I think theres 2-3 more that I forgot to include, but that is an extensive list.

b) It took me about 2-3 hours to put my restored items back on all my toons :( and I am not done yet on 3 more toons.

c) I was very uncomfortable knowing that hackers/keyloggers may specifically target a person who has a wow account..I didn't really realize that until some guy in another computer forums pointed it out, that I shouldn't play AT ALL.

It was kind of really depressing, I know people are going to say I was stupid but the only thing I can think of is that I don't have my firewall ON. I have issues with lag and stuff so I keep it off most of the time and to be frank I have kept it off for years. I am keeping it on now.

I used to have a lot of sensitive information on my pc. Information about other people too, now I realize this is what makes these keyloggers and farmers extremely dangerous. They are not your garden variety 10-12 year old boys mischievously stealign your gold so they can sell it for extra cash or to buy something in the game. These are high profile criminals who are out to destroy people's lives. Let me give an example..

Example they get into someones computer and keylogged it in search of a person's gaming account, that is just the beginning. If this person worked for an insurance company and has all your insurance stuff, cards and info there...these things could be stolen.

Now I have been online for so many years, I would like to think I am not that dumb to click an .exe or click any link like a drunken sailor, but yet this thing got on my computer for some reason. I never use my game account to log on any other computer except my new laptop.

I feel at a loss now cause I don't want to go through that whoel thing again. Come Diablo 3 I may never go back to playing wow..

If anyone has any information about this particular type of keylogger please message me, where he lives, I may have jurisdiction of and lead him to the proper authorities. Thanks.

I would like to add also I am using several measures to type in my password, and I am thinking of getting an authenticator. Even if I don't want to play anymore I don't want to lose my characters and stuff.

For more info on authenticators please visit Battle.net

Vanilla Warcraft

Burning Crusade

Wrath of the Lich King

Cataclysm

Vampiric touch..touch me!

Im a woman..hear me rawrrrrrrrrrrrr! - Catwoman

Well patch came up and obviously I was playing too much. I havent yet really reached "bloodthirsty" on any toon, frankly because I think I heal. I have realized the only way we could win on Horde was if I kneel down, wear my goggles and kneepads and RE-SPEC to heals.

It didn't matter if we had 2 other healers, I had to do it, I don't know why. Maybe all throughout those years I have developed some 3rd eye or something I usually know what the other team would do or focus on , etc.

Well enough about me circle jerking myself, I wanna talk about Courtney Stodden. Granted she is so last year and not even socially relevant anymore, I really admire her lip puckering antics. It takes a lot of courage to do these things..

So i tried to do it today..

Ended up having to spit out some hairs in the process. Sigh. I wish they made edible Nair. That could come in handy especially for those..*cough* if you know what I mean. ;)

Anyway I had some hate in-game msg from some guy named Vongvajs-Illidan. He gave me a hurtful comment, the infamous "YOUR WEAK" "NEWB".. and rattled on about how I shouldn't play discipline. Of course, he put me on ignore the whole time so I couldnt say anything. This guy must be well-endowed IRL to be filled with so much passion and whatnot. LMAO.

I haven't pvpd on Holy for like 2 years now and although I am used to in-game bullying and rudeness, I find it ridiculous how some people can go all roid-rage in the game, especially PVP. Hello? First time much?

I used to rage a lot too back then. Especially on PVP, but after rolling my first alliance toon, I learned to sit back , relax and enjoy the game.

Anyways I am off to beddy now. ILU <3 pls be nice and /pet me.

Annual Pass

There are a few good reasons why you should get your annual pass, much of it is explained in my video but I can explain here too, cause I have been having some trouble with the video itself anyways.

So heres one big thing, they won't charge you $160 outright, it's a monthly bill that goes to your credit card. You need to be eligible for this (aka i mean you need to be in the u.s., canada, singapore, australia, new zealand).

Here's a quick image of you should expect from getting the annual pass..

You can pay for the WoW Annual Pass on a monthly basis at $14.99 per month or according to the billing plan of your choice. To participate, you must be 18 or older, have a valid credit card, and have registered a full version of World of Warcraft on or before October 18, 2011.

Sign up for the World of Warcraft Annual Pass here, and then keep an eye on the World of Warcraft community site or the Diablo III community site for future announcements regarding the launch dates of these bonuses.

Here's the Youtube Video..in case you missed it.
