So you said in another channel outside tl against a mod that BW is gay.
I don't see where the warning is unjustified.
From all the bans I've seen the mods usually use the warned poster's own words against them to let them know how it feels for what they've done/said.
Guess it did work considering you feel offended so you should've learned your lesson not to say such things about a game/community.

That would be fine if this happened on TL, but it didn't.

Ya it just happened in the official TL channel, nice logic.

There are cases where TL members can be banned for something they do outside of this website. This is a community and as such, they are allowed to determine who they want in their community. (Ex: Banning known cheaters from TL)

But for expressing my (joke) opinion on BW, that deserves a warning? I could understand a warning if I was being a dick to TL members outside of TL, but I've done nothing wrong.

In my opinion, as a punishment for this gross misuse of power, Harem should have to moderate SC2 strategy forum for a month.

Thing is, First commandment of TL very well applies to IRC channel. This is their house and you're a guest, just like me. We guests obey the house rules, hospitality ensues. We don't, ban hammer ensues. That's it.

Are we all missing the part where the mod called him Gay? And then told him to be less gay?

Sure the OP is in the wrong, but lets not turn a blind eye to what he's really pointing out here. By any stretch of the imagination, the warning message was unprofessional and out of line. You don't give someone a warning by calling them gay and then telling them to "less gay." What the heck?

Okay, how bout this:
You posted the chat log where you used 'gay' as a deogatory slur on TL. Therefore, it is now on TL.

Now I'm more sure you're just joking, and I really do hope you aren't being serious.

Wow you got a warning, its not a big deal, if you got banned you can throw a hissy fit all you want.

Besides, harem is my 5th favorite TL mod, and I stand by his actions.

I vote that Ferrose not be allowed to try to make joke threads again. Because it's now been proven without a doubt he fails at humor.

I also don't understand all this uproar about "power abuse". It's an internet forum. It's not like someone abusing power to fire you or something. He just gave you a warning on teamliquid. Do you really care? It seems like a total joke so I don't understand why you get so nancy pants over it.

yeah, I agree man.

I'm on Ferrose's side.

1. didn't happen in the TL Irc chatroom
2. TL Mod retaliates

Doesn't look good.

as much as i hate the phrase "abusing power," this seems like a bannable offense by harem.

I read his initial post as joking. His followups maintain character but I think he's just trolling.

You used gay in a derogatory sense and are complaining a mod used it in a derogatory sense? What sort of shaky ground do you like to stand on? But lol, it was a joke, but lol maybe Harem's was a joke too. Much ado about nothing, I'd say. Also website feedback is usually the place for mod complaints.

Mods are supposed to be model posters for us plebeians, and a mod sexually harassing a poster is not professional and not setting a good example for posting quality.
