Draconian banning is checked on WoW

One of the scary side effects of a strict banning policy on massively multiplayer games is that innocent players can be punished by accident. Blizzard, and most other companies, have done an exceptional job at monitoring their forums and games. However, it looks like Blizzard got a little trigger-happy and mistakenly banned some forum members over the weekend. The members made the mistake of posting the name of a guild that was, for good reason, being protected by the company. Read the link for more details.

It's a great thing to see a company admit their mistake; not only to the effected players, but to the community at large. Another class act by Blizzard.
