I posted a thread on the Off Topic forum about daft punk. It posted a post, which was the lyrics to "Human After All".
About an hour after, I receive a one week forum ban for "Spamming and Trolling. Reason? Those Lyrics.
I didn't think you could get banned for posting in the OT.

The Official Forums suck anyways. Big whoop.
Agreed. I remember back when i first hit 80 on my Pally I posted a topic asking for gemming help/priorities and the first 3 posts were level 1 alts with the response "Lol I hate when Baddies like you win VoA gear." I find the Wowhead forums to be a little more tamed. Only reason to go there is for guild/realm drama anyways...

Was it in the Paladin Class section?
Also when you post on the offical forums making a level 1 for it saves you the embarrassment.

The official forums are just a mix of trolls and Ghostcrawler going on a power trip.

Yep, then they flame you for not posting on your main.
That's why you don't listen to them.
Infact I like to laugh at them.

That's why you don't go there in the first place.

Not sure what all the hate towards the official forum is about.
Overall, it is not a very enjoyable environment. I will admit that. Then again, it's only natural; there are A LOT more people who visit the official forums than there are who visit Wowhead, and therefore there are bound to be a lot more idiots and asshats as well. That's not to say that it's 100% garbage, though. Throughout my years of playing the game (and, subsequently, browsing the forums), I've found many interesting, informative, and/or insightful topics on the official boards. It's just a matter of knowing where to look, because there
is
a lot of neat stuff to be found there. Of course, things aren't nearly as organized as they are here and those looking for a quick and helpful answer would do well to stay away, but for anyone with the time, energy, and patience (and courage!) to look around on the official forums, they might find themselves pleasantly surprised.
And yes, there are a lot of trolls and "bottom-feeders", as I like to call them, but I'll be honest: some of the funniest things I've read came straight from the official WoW forums.
TLDR: More people = more idiots, not everything there is bad, Wowhead is more convenient, much LULZ to be found on official boards.
