It actually works on an infraction system to get banned as well as some obvious rules(no bad mouthing people,threats etc).The posters are warned first(unless it is very serious) and given an infraction.I have one myself for calling someone a "whiner".Also people are warned to stop posting the same message over and over.If they ccontinue and get banned its their own fault.Can you share the link of the banned person asking when the patch will be released?Are you 100% sure that was the reason?Have you read all posts by this individual?Bottom line here is no game is released in a perfect state.They all have patches.I think for such an in depth,detailed ground breaking game,they did an excellent job.As for performance issues,some people have them others dont.My pc is barely the minimum specs and game runs a little slower than HOI2.I think a lot of this has been blown way out of proportion by a small minority determined to complain about anything and everything.Most of the posters complaining for some reason,dont have the game registered.That makes me think the copy they have is pirated and that could possibly be an explanation of their performance issues.Who knows.I dont.
This explains the situation fairly well. I have spent some hours at the PI forums recently and have read views from every angle. It seems rather clear that PI is not paranoid of customers complaints (some who have not registered the game yet-maybe don't have it??) I have followed several of the hot threads. It really does to seem like some actually want to be banned-maybe its a badge of honor for some.
It is entirely possible to be very negative about HoI3 and not be banned-all you have to do is avoid being rude. I did see one mod mention trolling for the reason for banning one individual. If that individuals last post is all you read, it might leave you wondering what Paradox Mod's are thinking. However, if you were following the hot threads for a while, you would see that particular individual was trolling. He got exactly what he was looking for.
PI's rules may be strick, but are easy for most to follow. I have had some differences in opinion with some there, but I have never even come close to getting a warning-it ain't rocket science.
As for the game, it is running rock solid for me, if a little slow and strange things with diplomacy. It will be a
great game.

I didn't sign the MR pact with Russia so Poland is taking a little longer. I haven't experienced any slowdown and have let the AI handle my Armies for the most part, except for the PanzerArmee I created. Japan was pushed back to Korea but is now staging a huge comeback against CommunistChina, however CC has just now joined the Comintern. Very interesting developments to come I think...
