It looks like you triggered the spam filter threshold repeatedly... my guess is this happened because of the use of "battle.net", which the forum transforms automatically into a URL after creating the post and after a few times thought it was a spam account.
Although it shouldn't be necessary, for now one thing you can do to avoid this (especially being a new account) is add a backslash (\) character infront of the dot: "battle\.net" to avoid the conversion to a URL.
The posts are now restored, but the account seems deleted unfortunately. Apologies for the inconvenience...
Thanks, Zenzen. The forum does note while you write a post that the URL has been posted before, but in the case of Battle.net, where it's literally the name of the thing being discussed as much as the URL, that ought not to happen--and account deletion (as opposed to being disabled) should never be an automated process. If that's a configurable setting and anyone is able to change it, I'd encourage that.
Not a big problem, just a shock! I saw the message saying the "url was already used" but didn't think it would jeopardize my account since my conversation was legitimate.
As for us and our problem, now that the conversation is restored, I was able to replicate the Bottles error in terminal and this is EVERYTHING that is triggered after clicking "Play" and getting the error message displayed :

I can run a 2D game like Dungeon Keeper Gold, but I can't run a 3D game like Thief Gold. (I raided my GoG library for small games with offline installers. )
Thief does not have clear errors going on. I see these "info" lines, then a "warn" line, then these before a couple "dumps".
