PSA! New auto baner has gone NUTS!

And this thing is off the top!

Recently, as many of you might know, blizzard implemented a new hack detector+ autobanner. The hacking problem of the past was it was hard to detect, relied almost entirely on community reports, and was hard to prove.

So, they made a system that does it for them! Although this is a GREAT step in MMO history....

...It has its drawbacks.

For instance, people can, and WILL be auto banned for running programs in the backround.

A few of these include, but are not limited to:
Various types of Instant messaging
Xfire while downloading
Some internet browsers while downloading
Photo editing/sorting software
(I have heard reports) of Itunes
Other less recongines music software
Most other Misc. programs.

Check out the amount of "banned" threads around on non wow forums, its crazy.

Protect yourself!
Untill blizzard fine tunes their new software, I highly recomend turning off ALL sofware in the backround prior to running wow. Music while grinding may be nice, but waiting 70 some hours is not.

Hope it helps.
