I don't mind being banned of which I have and I know I take that risk at times because that risk does not outweigh my feeling of the subject I am expressing myself in. But what I do dislike is when the ban is obviously abit skewed in perspective, understandable, but I don't like it. All I need there is a simple answer when I ask the moderator to further explain the ban. Not being answered a muted person is for me the worst of sins as a moderator. EDIT: My point is; Yes most of TL admins and moderators are obviously people, and with that comes good virtues and faults. I do not dislike the TL staff and frankly I am even glad when if I am banned for borderline disruptive behavior the moderator just answers a simple question. Such a small geasture and it makes me felt respected as a person. This isn't a democratic forum sure but it should promote virtues we consider inheritly good or just lest it be an unattractive prospect for new people. As in it is in the best interest of the moderators to appear homely for new people, this topic is a good example of a succesfull attempt at this. So TLDR: Moderators are people, people act based on emotion and prejudice regardless of position or rank, there are more or less friendly ones and there is no way around it. If that ever happens again, PM another moderator and we can look into it. | ||

Learned just a wee bit of BW trivia by reading back-references on SC2 strategies (Phoenix/DT writeup back in the days of Kulas Ravine spoke of its similarities to the bisu build). I really doubt my BW knowledge will ever be very complete compared to those that played and followed it through the glory years where legends were born. But hey, now I know that Plexa made some ground-up posts on BW history so I can get some inkling there! Very motivational speech about the reverence assigned to contributors. I do look at post count and keep an eye out for guys that always provide insightful posts, especially in Strategy (<3 CecilSunkure, Anihc, sleepingdog, others I'm forgetting). I don't think the general vibe is misunderstanding about the mods / reputation for being harsh. It's actually refreshing seeing prompt moderation of threads with a little humor from the mods administering it, at times! The talk I hear about harsh moderation is a vocal few, where the majority (lurkers included) enjoy seeing content-filled (mostly) threads where the scum is scooped off the top and set aside (top hopefully improve posting habits). For every mod-whiner, there's 5 posters and 10 lurkers loving the results. I've made it post 700 posts without a warning or ban, so can everybody else imo. In my own TL experience, I was floored at guys from battle.net ladder and chat channels recognizing my name from posting on TeamLiquid. We had great discussions from it. Same happens in reverse, which led to a season on a team for an online team league. Small world, TeamLiquid world, eSports world! ESPORTS (That's for you shindigs). | ||

My gf studies food technology, essentially food engineering, which is basically the study of producing mass marketed foods and is most definitely not cooking. She's always enjoyed foodtech, even at highschool. Her first ever project was on waffles which I was heavily involved with. For some reason, I changed my MSN name to include "~WAFFLES~" where it sat for many years. When the time rolled around for me to get an icon I struggled to come up with something. I had some ideas but nothing really worked. I think a lot of my writing is a bunch of waffle, that in combination with WAFFLES in my MSN name lead me to choosing waffles. | ||

But perhaps... | ||

American pancakes, haha. I haven't had pancakes in so long, but they are so delicious... On the contrary, I had the opportunity to try æbleskiver not to long ago, oh man...I'm proud of my Danish half of my heritage. Let's trade pancakes? Denmark is almost Norway, right? :p | ||

Kennigit and some others can be quite abrasive when they ban so it's understandable that some people get rubbed the wrong way. | ||

If only the wind would let up, for just a second, but it never does. You have to dress in layers. Not because of the cold, though this place certainly has no excess in temperature either, but you gotta dress in layers to keep the sand out. I've seen people dress in less thick get-ups and I've seen the consequences. Once the sand takes you, you're gone. No wits left, no - reason, no common sense. Just trolldom. And... Butthurt. Too much butthurt for any man to stay sane. *cough*, *cough* - It all started with - *cough* - with this blog, you know... A blog by... Plecks or Plaxe or something, I can't remember, though I have this feeling I used to know him. Him, her... No, him. It was about something like how he was just like anyone else, and how you shouldn't be afraid of the mods. He was a mod, I think. It was a good read. It made you feel welcome and gave you a sense of togetherness, of community. It didn't last though. It was a sign of weakness you see. In his kindness, he had unwittingly shown a chink in the armor of Teé - ell.Things started going downhill pretty quickly after that. People lost respect. Well not people, trolls. Or maybe they were people at first, I don't know, nobody does. Anyway... There was anarchy in Blogs. Strategy was all but lost to incoherent droves of mid-golds, staking their lives to the supremacy of the 18 nex mothership rush in shallow, vehement gasps. I remember seeing... Chill as he fought desperately to stay afloat, to stay alive, and sane in that sea of idiocy. As for General... it... Hah, you know, I haven't spoken about it for so long, I don't know what I should, or rather what I can - I don't know, I mean I can't... You see, after having seen something like that you just kind of, you know, uh... I... I don't like to talk about it. Nobody does. Nobody worth listening to anyway. You may as well ask the sky. Just don't ask them. A family of racoons would be better. They might at least refrain from calling you a faggot. I'm gonna go now. There's nothing left for me here now. Just this irritating, nonsensical sand in this inconsiderate wind. I have to leave before it gets the best of me. You should too. But if you should decide to stay, make sure to dress in layers. Once it gets to you, and you start to lash out in your pain and your resentment, you're screwed. *cough* *COUGH* ... You... fucking noob... | ||
