Warhammer Online Users Repeatedly Overbilled

TheSpoom writes "A screw-up in EA's Warhammer Online billing system has resulted in many players being charged upwards of 22 times for a one-month subscription, filling bank accounts with overdraft fees and the Warhammer forums with very angry players, who are discussing the issue quite vocally. EA has said that refunds are in progress and that '[they] anticipate that once the charges have been reversed, any fees that have been incurred should be refunded as well.' They haven't specifically promised to refund overdraft charges, only to ask customers' banks to refund them once the actual charges are refunded. They seem to be assuming banks will have no problem with this."

Why is this message marked troll??? There is not a damn thing wrong with the comment posted by C64_love, and yet *every one of his comments* has been demoted as "trollish" or "flamebait". It seems clear to me the moderators are merely trying to destroy another poster via a concerted attack.

That is NOT what the slashdot mod system is for.

"Concentrate more on promoting (adding points) rather than on demoting (subtracting points). The real goal here is to find the juicy good stuff and let others read it. Do not promote personal agendas. Do not let your opinions factor in. Try to be impartial about this." "Simply disagreeing with a comment is not a valid reason to mark it down. Likewise, agreeing with a comment is not a valid reason to mark it up. The goal here is to share ideas. To sift through the haystack and find needles."

Mark't's post should not have been marked troll. Pull your head out of your ass moderator. Mark T was merely sharing his EXPERIENCE with us; not trolling. This Slashdot system is being ABUSED in order to try to destroy the user named Mark-t.

AGAIN, Mark-t's post should not have been marked trool. Pull your head out of your asses moderator(s). Mark T was merely sharing his EXPERIENCE with us regarding his Bank debit card. Not trolling.

Good God. What a frakked-up system - it's being used to destroy Mark-t's karma, and thereby block him from making posts in the future. This should not be allowed.
