I tried to log in and I get this message:

"You account has been closed (8)"

What is this? A rule that I broke, and banned forever, or days I am banned?



None.

Did you hack?
Were you testing keys?
Were you downloading pr0n?



None.

Common sense epoch, come on. We shouldn't have to google for you.

If the Message says "Your account has been closed ( 8 )" Then you have a perma-ban.

I fucking copypasted ur topic title!
Also this:
Quote
(8) This account was detected using a third-party program (hack) with one of our games on Battle.net. This account is now permanently banned
Any third-party program that is designed to affect the way the user interacts with Battle.net is considered a hack program. This includes seemingly harmless third-party utilities that work with the game to provide functions that were not included by the game designers. While many of these utilities might not have been created to disrupt the balance of the game, they alter the original design of the program. The detection of any such program by Battle.net may result in the closure of the user's account or even the temporary or permanent banning of the associated CD-Key.

It was also posted at BW Hacks, apparently the Warden is online, and is actually banning CD keys of people on Diablo and Warcraft, however, on StarCraft, it's simply banning accounts, so get a new account and you're fine.

I got banned for my bot, at least I think so, since I hadn't used any hacks for like 2 weeks before I got the same message..

Edit:
[quote Nebu on October 31st, 2008]"In an ongoing endeavor to ensure a fair and fun online experience for all Warcraft III players, we will be escalating our efforts to remove cheaters from Battle.net. We have identified and closed over 7,700 accounts which were found to be using third-party hacks. The CD keys associated with these accounts are now restricted from playing any ladder games for 30 days (custom games, however, are still available). Repeat offenders will have their accounts closed and their CD keys permanently banned from Battle.net.

Going forward, we will take a hard-line stance against cheating in all Battle.net games, and we reserve the right to close the accounts and ban the CD keys of players who are caught cheating on Battle.net.

These changes are intended to promote fun and competitive play on Battle.net in both ladder and custom games. Cheating ruins the game experience for legitimate players, and we will not tolerate it. "[/quote]

This was posted at BW Hacks, although it looks like Zynastor has already fixed Oblivion to beat it, so meh :P A couple hours after it happened, someone had already posted what the Warden was checking for, and it was changed so Oblivion doesn't match that anymore.

Shame, shame. Why not just press the Place Map Revealers button? :P

Because I often have other placements, and removing them is too annoying when trying to leave the others..
