In belated celebration for my 1000th post on TL.net, I would like to explain my one and only ban to date.
I'm proud and not afraid to say, I've got a pretty good posting history in TL. I've never engaged in flame wars, never trolled anyone, never aggravated or insulted mods, spell accurately, and i frequently edit my posts to make sure they are of top quality. I'm a constructive netizen of the TL community, and I'm so proud of that, I would write that on my resume just in case my employers lurk or post here.
That said, I did make One Silly Mistake which landed me a light sentence of a 2 Day Temp ban.
On occasion, I have been curious to see what it is like to be temp banned. No, I was not drunk. Yes, it was a deliberate decision. But what, you ask, was the rational behind posting
ZOMG TERRAN IMBA!!! WTF!! NEW PATCH NERF PLZZZ
in a thread titled: Earth on the Verge of a Massive Extinction?
Well, the logic was extrapolated from: 1) This was during the time when Terran imba threads were polluting the sc2 strategy forum 2) Many posters were attributing the end of Earth to wanton human consumption 3) So, logically, Terrans really ARE the most imba race on earth. 4) When we are doomed, it will be like a new patch came and reset the ladders. Patching and restoring balance to the world.
Sadly, my evidently very sophisticated piece of humor sailed clear over everyone's head, and landed me a "WHAT THE FUCK MAN" from the mods and a 2 day temp ban.
I got temp-banned for when last romantic posted a really long story about this girl he was interested in. The intoxicated bum thought it was good to post "Inb4ninjas"
Im surprised i spewed something related to the subject
Damn.. I've been here since 2004 and am nowhere near 1k posts. Guess I have little to say. No idea why i've chosen this thread to be stupid, juvenile and part of the sea of mindlessness, but "Congrats on your 1K posting and your ban!" +1 post count.
My one ban was from calling out arb's crappy blog as crap with a bunch of other people. ETT banned us all then must have realized the thread was trash and closed it.
I got banned for calling someone stupid. Why did I call them stupid you ask? They were posting about how terrible IdrA is as zerg (during GSL2 I think).
Gotta "politely disagree" with people who shit on your favorite players i guess.
EPT
