In an IRC channel earlier, I jokingly said that Brood War is gay. However, TL mod Harem lurks in the channel, and sent me this warning:
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Q7c9s.png)
A mod made a baseless warning (I didn't do this on TL), and not only that, the mod sexually harassed me. As a loyal poster on TL, I am personally offended, and think that this makes the TL staff as a whole look bad.
IRC log in question:
[14:13] <Sentenal> whenever me and my friends want to ask each other if we want to play lol (League of Legends)
[14:13] <Sentenal> we message each toher, saying "hey, you want to get really angry?"
[14:13] <Sentenal> "yeah sure, lets get so fucking pissed off"
[14:13] <Sentenal> and then we play lol
[14:14] <harem> why not just play bw then
[14:14] <Sentenal> because id rather get pissed off without any effort
[14:14] <spazer> less people to rage at
[14:14] <Sentenal> bw is hard
[14:14] <Sentenal> and lol i can play with 1 hand
[14:15] <Ferrose> Harem why would you play BW
[14:15] <Ferrose> BW is gay
[14:15] <Vysaga> Ferrose don't joke about that
[14:15] <harem> banned
EDIT: This was not in the official TL IRC channel.

This would be better off in Website Feedback.
As for the judgment, TL's IRC channel is merely a subsidiary of the forums, right? The same basic rules of etiquette apply there. I don't see any problems with Harem's choice.
|
Soso, BW is gay and you make a thread about it that we all can see it, and then you additionally complain about mods, and all that on Teamliquid?
wow
|
lol wat, dont tell me this was in THAT channel

No, I'm complaining that a mod sent me a warning on TL for something that had nothing to do with TL. AND sexually harassed me.

Yup.

Jokingly calling something gay was pretty alright in 2004.
Get with the times.

"You're gay. Please be less gay...."
That's something mods specifically ban people for. I wish mods wouldn't use that kind of language in warnnings and bans.
Did you PM Harem? Maybe it was a joke warning
|
Looks like a joke to me, dude. Roll with it imo.
|
|

|
If Harem was a loli, would you be less upset about this?
|
You say you were on IRC... was it the TL IRC? Becuase afaik, that still falls under the jurisdiction of the mods.

Well I guess I'm a little less upset than I normally would be, considering how moe he is.

How does this dude have almost 6k posts

IMO you should have been temp banned, you should feel lucky that you got off with just a warning.
Also, you used the term 'gay' as a derogatory slur, which is not acceptable. I know because I've been warned like 2 or 3 times for calling various things (such as Zerg) gay.

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

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.

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)
|
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.

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

I really can't tell if this blog is serious or not.

Harem is just lookin out for number 1.
And number 1 is BW.
PS, BW isn't gay.

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.

1/5.
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'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.

There has to of been a better way to have done this.... Now you could actually get in real trouble instead of a warning.. Website feedback might have been a better option than spreading it all over TL.
|
Why dont you just send a PM to Harem accusing HIM of being gay? Doubt he'd warn you for that since that'd be too hypocritical. And then you're even.

Don't act like you don't enjoy being sexually harassed, everyone knows you are a masochist.

Honestly your best best would have been to said him a polite PM asking what his reasoning was. I don't think this is helping your case much.

The company I work for just got out of a lawsuit because one of the floor supervisors called another co-worker "gay". It fell through and has next to nothing to do with this, but I thought I would share.

You didn't make it ridiculous enough, and the IRC warning could actually be realistic considering people thought it was in the official TL irc.

I agree. In my opinion, Harem could have chosen his words more wisely. Substituting the word "gay" with "homosexual", for instance, would be more politically correct. It's things like this which is hurting ESPORTS.
But let us not forget that Ferrose started it when he called BW gay, an unforgivable transgression.
P.S. Ferrose, you really suck at this whole joke business.

2) Ferrose is joking and I do not realize it
Is all I could come up with.

For clarity, everyone on TL needs to stop writing Blogs as if they're real to serve an agenda (joke, parody, troll, teach a lesson). If you write something it should be real. What a garbage community this is going to be if we can't trust what people write about themselves.
There's a reason why Chill keeps closing blogs like these ):

You use gay yourself in a context where it had nothing to do with sexuality. Harem uses the phrase in the exact same context, but suddenly it is sexual harrasment?
Grow some balls dude and discuss this over with him under four eyes, instead of trying to backstab him with a really cheap blog like this.

I'm not staff or anything, but my from point of view, it's a very fine line between blatantly being exaggeratory/comedic and things like this.
This borders on the level of a legitimate complaint (it's preposterous, but there's no indication that you're joking or going beyond the non-fiction).
For Infested Archon, all his writings are explicitly silly and just unlikely. I also believe he doesn't set a protagonist in any of his jokes, so no one's offended or can take it serious or take offence to it.
SirJolt equally does joke blogs and look at the nature of them.
I think Chill could say it better than me. Ask Website Feedback :3

I thought this was going to be a witty title that somehow references a loli guide. I am disappointed and have overestimated your comedic abilities. I actually had the feeling this was a joke and when I read this

Also, you used the term 'gay' as a derogatory slur, which is not acceptable. I know because I've been warned like 2 or 3 times for calling various things (such as Zerg) gay. That would be fine if this happened on TL, but it didn't. 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.
lol yeah I bet, have you seen the insane shitstorms that happen when some guy says SC2 is better than BW and then there are a million posts complaining.
I don't really see why you think they should listen to anything you say, life isn't fair. And HOLY CHECK you have almost 6k posts?
Someone calls something gay and its A-OK
Someone calls someone gay and OMG TL BE MORE PROFESSIONAL YOU'RE HURTING E-SPORTS
EDIT: Ah right it was a joke, pretty terribly non obvious though :p

Ok so I was not a fan of this thread especially considering the potential it wasted, but the mod edit has redeemed that greatly.

It's like Minority Report, somehow Harem knew that Ferrose was going to post the chat log and decided to preemptively warn him to prevent this blog. However by doing so, Harem inadvertently motivated OP's action and ironically became the cause of what he wanted to stop.

This is very important. You need to make sure that it is near impossible for someone to take offense by either executing the joke very well, or making a neutral-stanced funny blog. Usually, the best way is to take a real life experience about yourself and exaggerate it to make it funny. Now it isn't a free ticket to a well-received blog because it actually has to be funny to the majority of TL blog readers as well.

This topic is the best proof that Ferrose is extremely masochistic. He knew this blog would turn out like this, and created it accordingly. Everyone is just satifiying his sick, M desires now.

I can't believe you have almost 6k posts and I've never seen your name before... Regardless, I really hope you're joking because otherwise you need to stop being a weenie Threads these days are so damn long -.- Why am I so lazy? 1/5 for making me feel bad about myself

silly ferrose tricks are for kids
oh wait
you like to pretend you're a kid because...
right never mind.
harem despite me not knowing who you are, and you getting me banned for the first time ever, i love you

I love how everyone posting here can say their first post was a troll post.
To be fair though, this blog did troll a fair amount of people. Definitely need to be spotlighted.
SPOTLIGHT IT

that warning has a huge "I'M FUCKING WITHYA" written all over it, and you make this thread?
I hope you're roleplaying too as a 'seriously offended TLer'
EDIT: oh, thank god

No don't lock the thread...his shame should be ETERNAL. >

Didn't troll people in the right way though. It's kind of a successful troll post in the same way that making a blog post about how your father died of colon cancer yesterday and then on page 6 saying "lol trolled you all!" is a good troll post. A good troll post makes people believe something that, when looking back afterwards, they realize they were dumb to believe at all (e.g. "Texas to ban seatbelts as they interfere with personal liberty"). If it's believable and people believe it, that's just lying, not good trolling. And mods banning people over petty things on TL is entirely believable.

The thing is Harem did warn him lol. It's more like making a thread about how your father died of colon cancer and 6 page later say that he actually died of a heart attack.
Except this happens all on page 1 and people realize it 6 page later.

So how was it trolling then? The response that he made was tongue-in-cheek? It seemed entirely believable and still does - it's just lying, not trolling.
