We all know what it means to be "banned": do bad things online and site moderators will ban you from participating again.  But then there's events like this.  The kind that bring out the real life ban -- or, as those in the know call it, "getting vanned."  It occurs when you do something SO INCREDIBLY stupid online that the actual FBI comes to your house and takes you away in a van :(

Case in point: earlier today an 18-year-old male from Indianapolis used an in-game World of Warcraft chat channel to broadcast his plans to board a plane and kill people.  Employees moderating the chat channel notified the authorities and, long story short, the kid learned an important lesson: the internet is serious business.

And apparently so is WoW.  The indystar.com article that broke the story has since become a WoW fanboy forum.  Instead of discussing the actual story or the seriousness of the threat, THIS is what the comments section looks like:

Unbelievable, right?  America deserves a dialog about violence in video games that doesn't instantly devolve into complaints and name-calling. 

Furthermore, everyone knows that warlocks are overpowered and death knights are getting buffs in patch 3.2 anyway so SUCK IT LOWBIE!!
