I was just wondering, what does it mean if you can log into your Battle.net account but can't post in the Starcraft II forums anymore? I can log into my account but when I go to the forums, it still says that I must log in to post.

Does no-one know what this means.

Edit: Now I can't even read the forums, since it keeps redirecting me to a site advertising that I should buy Starcraft 2. When I click on the button that says "continue to the forums" it just redirects me back to that site. I think there's a problem with the forums.

There may be a problem with the forums, or you may have picked up a browser hijacker. I'd advise running a good-quality antivirus, then, if that doesn't clear it up, contacting Blizzard via email for clarification (there should be a "contact us" link on the website).

I doubt it's a browser hijacker since I'm using a mac and the page I keep getting redirected to is an official Blizzard advertisement. However, even if I get onto the forums, I still can't post anything because it keeps saying that I need to log in even though I'm already logged in. I have contacted Blizzard to find out what's going on but I haven't received a reply yet.

It was a browser problem. When I reset my Safari browser, everything worked.

Did other people find you annoying so they banned you? Sometimes that appens to me I would post to many questions and then the other players would get really annoyed with me and start to ban me that is what usually happens to me.

I wasn't banned. It turned out that the internet browser kept redirecting me to the not logged in state. My Safari browser seems to save page redirects, so I had to reset the browser. The problem's now fixed, so I can post on there again.

In any case, I've only really posted in the Campaign and Story section anyway, mostly arguing with people who said the WoL story sucks, since I actually liked it.
