this is basically what it is:

banlings are a collection of forum veterans who were selected based on their post history and character to moderate the forums. they are a team, just like graphics, writers, translators, liquipedia etc.

moderators (reds) are mostly people who have made long-term contributions to the site in various ways (you can find these people with blue names) and were eventually given the ability to moderate. reds also participate in discussion about site direction, policy, and new features etc.

no kidding, looking at other forums ex. blizzard ones and seeing the crappiest posts, even post edited crappy ones... man i forget how great tl moderation is

And at the end of the day they clap themselves on the back, content in the fantasy that they somehow have improved quality or something or other i dnno.

User was temp banned for this post.

Ah yes, TL.net is a fine place. Too bad all these idiots who think they have a clue blur the true nature of TL.

I can only wait until i get the report-post feature. Then we will see who thinks Collosi are OP. Mwhahaha

I wish I could be a moderator , but I don't know the hell that they go through every day.
If I became a moderator:
1. I would celebrate by banning some retards on the strategy forum.
2. See some more retards and go through their post history etc. to see how long their ban should be.
3. Close 712830371820371802 threads crying imbalance.
4. See some more idiots and ban them.
5. See MORE idiots and I start to get really pissed and tired.
6. I scream, pull my hair out, etc and end up going to a mental hospital.
7. I hear Jinro wins the GSL and I go sane for about 2 days before going mad again due to the strategy forum.
Im guessing that is what mods will go through.

What's the problem if there actually is a report button? I don't see the problem with threads where people are ranting about whatever, as long as they try to make a point, and I've never seen a thread here that fails in doing so, although I only read the BW section.

I was about to make some shitty thread about zerg and balance, because Im on a bad loss streak and raging right now, but i just saw this thread and saw how much work the mods do, so I'll refrain from starting up something like that : ) .

Being a TL moderator is not an easy job. I've had to moderate forums in the past (nothing this big, but still large) and its always a lose lose situation. Its a ton of thankless work that you do because to believe in something.

Thanks for all the good work. We all appreciate it, even if its not shown all the time.
