Sup Teamliquid!
Whenever I look over the latest hilarious bans in the Automated Ban List, I see familiar names. People with lots of posts too. Experienced site members really should know better, but get temp bans for avoidable things like trolling, insulting people, racism, spoiling games etc.
Then I ask myself: Am I the only one who never got banned?
TL's strict common sense/postcount based moderation may seem unfair at times, but actually it isn't and bans are generally well-deserved. The rules are really easy to follow, and it surprises me how even experienced posters sometimes wack out.
Now my question is this: How well-behaved are you? How long have you (non-staff) guys survived without moderator intervention? Who trumps my 1420 posts without a temp ban or even a warning?

I've had 2x two day bans.
One for posting a ridiculously big image in an SPL thread when I was at like...50 posts or something, and the other time because someone (I forget who) said something so ignorant about a progamer because he was a bitter fanboy I said, "wow...fuck you" and got banned for that.
But nothing serious.
Honestly, TL is one of the few forums I post on regularly, and I wouldn't even have started if the mod group wasn't so amazing. I like how strict they are, and how they don't let anyone slide. It keeps the riff raff out and quality up, but most importantly it keeps the TeamLiquid reputation up and makes us all proud to be members.

My posting quality has gotten worse in the last few years. I still make decent strat forum posts from time to time and occasionally contribute to general but I also tend to post the first thing that comes to my head more. Never been properly banned. One 30 minute ban by Rekrul for making an icc blog after he said not to but it got reversed and one requested ban.

I got temp banned once i even remember who it was from, Twisted, but i dont remember why

I got warned by fakesteve twice I think actually. Once through the official warning system for arguing when the subject was a derail he told people not to continue and once for all the saddles lols.
|
i hide in the dota thread. some how only one person has been banned in that thread and that was due to like two pages of one word spamming
|
haven't got banned yet, did get verbally warned once i believe
|
So far I am unharmed. Can't beat your postcount yet, though.
|
Just went out a ban. First one though. After all, 750 post without incident is not too bad, for a Frenchman.

i've never been banned! only been temp banned once because i wanted to study, and well that didn't really work because i just continued reading and not posting on TL lawl.

being well-behaved on a forum (where you can remain anonymous to those around you) is a good characteristic to have. those who are well-behaved here are probably well-behaved (or at least better behaved) in real life
and i've never been warned or banned.
|
I prefer completely unmoderated forums, as they generally lead to better entertainment (which is the only reason I visit forums). However, I've never been banned from this site (though I have from many others, including year long bans for things not ban-worthy).

I think the moderation on TL is very reasonable. Unless you post very tasteless stuff, you can have fun just fine. Foul language is very much tolerated, and fuck, I fucking like that, bitch. Only when you behave like an ass or go far beyond the borders of good taste are you banned, and I don't like to see that anyway. The average post quality around here is far higher than on most other forums, apart from the occasional overused meme or Idra drama.
I find it funny how TL is perceived on GosuGamers.net. Half their community consists of kids who despise TL's "unfairness" because they misbehaved and got banned here, and now they go on shitting all over GG.net's poorly moderated forums with their crappy posts.
|
Is this some kind of TL.net admin scam for well-behaving posters to undercover themselves and get banned :D or are you just trying to show off.
|
NO bans or warnings..I post mainly one-liners :x
|
I havent been warned or banned yet.
But lately I have been posting a fucking lot (140 posts this week) and I feel like I've been a bit of a dick in many of those posts ^^ (although I'm always right of course)

I was thinking of asking for pics, then I remembered that I was still banned yesterday and that maybe...
|
Well I got a warning when an attempted joke wasn't obvious enough, luckily I have my signature now!
|
No bans as off yet, but I've only been here since about June... If I keep making blogs about holding by breath, I bet I will be, though! :D
|
I got temp banned for 1 week because I requested it lol
|
Never banned or warned and I've been here since 2003 posting every day. I mainly post when I have something to say so I guess that have helped a bit.
EDIT:Havent posted much for the last couple of days since I have frostbite on a few of my fingers and it is hard to write. Anyway 8+ post/week average.
|
got a warning once for spoiling results in the small vod thread
i'd like to think my posts have improved a bit during my stay here
|
Got banned once for trolling
|
imo I only make high quality posts

Same here. If I remember correctly I asked for a temp ban for study and it sort of worked. Other than that, a false warning and no bans.

I get banned sometimes. Not as much recently, but there's always a good reason.
|
I often restrain myself from posting if I think it might be seen as ban-worthy. I also rather read then post, hence the lower post count.
I have never been warned or banned.

i've never been banned or warned in all this time, It really surprises me to find how many people talks on how easy is to get banned from teamliquid :/
|
i fucking own at posting so hard
|
Never been banned or warned or any of that stuff and I'm inching toward 3000 posts. And ALL of my posts are terrible. 1421 posts without a ban is easy
|
No bans so far and i hope will stay that way. I will never ever rage with BM on the internets or in sc. Whenever i get mad when i lose a 100% won game i just leave without saying gg and never flame.

Can you anonymously post my mod notes ?  I'm sure they're funny!

I think that if you're just a generally considerate person it's pretty hard to get banned. People only get banned for a few reasons on TL:
-They're assholes
-They're both stupid, and antagonistic (but not just stupid)
-FakeSteve see's someone post a 4chan meme
-They continually make posts no one would ever need to read
Basically if you always ask yourself 'what will other people gain from reading my post?' before posting, you'll become a very good poster. Another good question to ask yourself is "Do I really need to share this information with the rest of the world?" But that's going beyond the call of duty. If people did that we wouldn't see threads that are made for the sake of making a thread... ie threads that are just a poll, or threads that are just a news story.
Whenever I feel disappointed in the quality of posting of users I just try to increase my own quality of posting and hope someone gets competitive.
EDIT: lol mod notes... I don't think it'd be that hard to guess what mine are T.T Somewhere along the lines of 'complete dumbass, but not antagonistic'
|

I do not post very frequently, hence why my low post count. However, during the time of my stay, I have expressed rather controversial opinions regarding the proscene as well as gotten involved into heated debates with some of the more prominent members of TL.
In spite of this, however, I have yet to incur any sort of disciplinary action.
|
never been banned or warned. i must be amazing or some shit
or maybe i just dont post often enough to get noticed/in trouble.
either way im pretty content about things the way they are
|
i bet i don't even have mod notes

Never been warned, banned, temp banned. The mods don't pay attention to me (:

I'm fairly well-behaved here unless someone is just being a douche. I try to keep the 4chan stuff on 4chan. Never been banned or warned, or maybe I have been warned before... I can't remember.

Never been banned, never been warned and I have about 4 pms in my inbox total for the 7 1/2 years i've been here lol

I've been temp banned by Fakesteve and warned twice by Plexa.
I made it 3000 or so posts without any problems though. I was banned for an anti-semetic remark, warned once for porn, again for trolling. Besides my writing, I'm a pretty bad poster so I'm trying to fix that a bit.
|
Never got banned.
Got two warmings though:
One for posting "first" in a thread and another for saying to a whiny terran to switch to protoss in the strategy forum.
I think it was Hot_Bid and Manifesto.
I got banned multiple times for flames and trolling on a French forum though but well it is full of idiots ( at least the General section ), moderation is terrible and trolling is just too fun when you are using your main language.
I think i respect and behave properly on TL because Mods are fair and have high standards also we all share the same hobby. When someome is an idiot or an asshole here he always get banned soon or later ( sup Ganfei lol ) so you don't have to flame him or countertroll.
|
once I got a fake warning from HotBid.
gotta skate!
|
Never been warned or banned... I think on a few occasions, a thread that I was actively posting in was locked due to other individuals being bricks. But that's about the extent of that.
|
I got warned once for posting a spoiler, even though I had it in spoiler tags  Apart from that nothing though, thankfully.

oh i forgot i got warned by riptide for flaming also. it wasn't a real warning it was more of a "hey don't do this" pm
|
I am perma banned from the strategy section and I am probably a higher skill level than 90% of TL. Go figure.
|
Someone called Flash a bunker rushing nigger, and I quoted it in case he tried to edit it so he would hopefully get banned (exact post: "Quoted for future ban"), which I've seen others do on TL before. But EvilTelitubby (or whatever) banned me for 2 days, too. Seemed unwarranted. Maybe a "We don't need your help" would have been fine, but there was no warning, didn't really do anything wrong *shrugs*
|
I got a joke warning once.
|
been here since 04, havent been banned yet (although i should have at one point when i first joined lol)
but i dont really post that much. a lot of people joined in like 08 and have a lot more posts than i do

no warning or bans yet, i hope this thread isnt a set up!

Been banned once by Rekrul back in 2006.
Haven't had a run in with them since.

i got banned for breaking forum layout
i got banned for calling frozean a " " cuz he manner CCed Bisu

My only temp ban came when I posted a picture of Rasputin's preserved penis.
The picture was totally appropriate for that blog though.

Should have said "quoted for posterity", mods don't like it when you assume a ban is coming.

No warnings or bans... Though admittedly, I haven't been here very long.
|
I've never been banned and I have a shit load of posts.
|
lol weeeell
I'm not even sure I should post here haha, but I've probably had close to 8-10 accounts on TL throughout the years. However, I was a dumbass back then and got rightfully banned. I even got permabanned but like 1,5 years later I moved, got a new ISP and decided I would give it a new chance. What became of that is JensOfSweden, which started out alright but ended in retardedness.
Now that I've turned 30 I pick my battles and don't write stupid shit anymore. I respect the standard that TL holds and the rules they enforce regarding posting, and I'm glad that they do.
Most mods seem to be great guys btw.

I got 2 day temp'd once for posting like 400 times in a week, all of which was in the very first Mafia thread

I've never been banned or warned on any forum. Depending on your point of view, either I'm reasonably polite and never get worked up about anything, or I'm a gigantic pussy.

A few reasons went into that decision:
1) "Quoted for future ban" really comes off as backseat moderating. As everyone figures out pretty quickly, we generally don't like that, and TBH, we DO catch a lot of things on our own and take care of business pretty quickly IMO.
2) Whether someone posted something bannable or not, by quoting them, you are allowing the derailment of the thread to continue. Again, we will take out the trash.
3) We can read edited posts.
4) There were numerous people in that live report thread iirc all derailing it... I wanted to keep everything on topic. People should know better at this point.

I got a 2 day temp ban for using cynicism to make a point.
Guess the mods didn't like it.
|
I got warned once for posting a face palm image in a blog.
|
i got banned twice, one for two days and one for a week.
i totally deserved both of them, haha. especially the week ban where i just posted "rage essay" in a strategy forum thread.
|
3-4 warnings, a 2-day temp ban, and like 2-3 closed threads. Mostly by ET, only 1 closed thread by Chill and 1 warning by Mani I believe.
