Many good stories exist in the blurryness between fiction and reality, among other things because that makes a story believable. I couldnt help thinking of Day9s jacking-off-in-airplane story, which he claims to be true, but no one will probably really know, which again just makes it that much more exciting. Iirc OP didnt ask for advice or made any setup for debate, which obviously would be a no go in story telling, and if he hadn't been caught, it wouldnt really have hurt anyone, as others are saying. Oh well, just my 2 cents here at 2.30 am, guess this thread cant really be more derailed . | ||

Should this inconvenience you, please contact Kennigit via PM. he was baned because he carried on with his story and you didn't like that he was telling a fib. you used the excuse that "this" was the final straw and that he had a history of temp bans and bad posts, and his 4k post count was a bunch of junk to make a justification of why he was baned. however, no where in the rules of the site have i ever read that you can be banned for telling a lie or causing mass deception, you bent the rules as you saw fit and made an excuse for doing it. sure people agree with you, they view it as "catching the bad guy!, the justice hammer wins again!" but honestly there was no justice here, he broke no rule. maybe a temporary ban or a chance at a public apology for not listening to a moderator, but a perma ban for sharing a made up story is absurd. | ||

From the 10 Commandments: "1. THIS IS OUR HOUSE You are our guests. We will make all attempts to treat everyone with due respect and to accommodate everyone's wishes as far as reasonably possible. But, this is a private site. We are not a "for profit" enterprise. We are not funded by any governments. This means we run the site the way we see fit. We are not obligated to observe anyone's notions of "free speech" or even "fairness." We try of course, and that's why we're consistently considered one of the best gaming sites on the web, and you are always free to give us suggestions (Website Feedback Forum). But, we have our limits. If we don't like you, we simply IP ban you. If we're really pissed off, then we IP ban you AND nuke every single post you've uploaded to the site - ever. It will be as if you had never existed here. This is our house. You've been warned." http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=17883 | ||

There is no absolute ruleset as you imply here, so there was nothing to bend. Common sense supersedes all guidelines that we have laid out. Would you be happy with someone who lied to you for 3 days? Just act here like you're among friends. There are no explicit rules against starting websites to steal credit card numbers either. There are no explicit rules against posting as a hot girl and then releasing all the PMs you get. There are no explicit rules against a lot of things, but clearly you can see how they aren't conducive to a strong community. My logic is very clearly laid out; Don't call it absurd simply because you following another line of subjective reasoning. | ||

But doing some insanely normal meeting a girl and going out with her, emo blog about the whole process and not fessing up when given a chance is just ridiculous. To fabricate something like this, and not fess up when given a chance, you would need to have a severe psychological disorder, I would actually be worried about him and what he might do not being able to post here anymore.

There are ways, but is it really worth the effort? look at chibi, tdot, or the like. They all get caught sooner or later, you make a slip up, post from an IP that links to your original account, etc.... they never stick around long. | ||

"oh shit baller that makes so much sense" u say? ur welcome. | ||
