Will also say, out of all the Staff I met in my community, at NASL S1 finals, and at MLG Anaheim (3 mods, 6 in the 5k+ posts, 1 staff), gotta say I like em all.
Also, Manifesto called me bad mannered once after I won a game vs him with allied spider mines. Y.Y
I was sad too cause I used to visit his rwa (replays with audio) website ALL the time and he was the most famous caster I knew. I just wanted to be frands :D
I'm not a total oldschooler but i was here in the late BW days
Back then, it was OK to talk random crap and shit, post silly stuff because it was in MODERATION and everyone had fun. Not flaming or abuse, but just like silly/random/funny stuff, and people would laugh and be like "haha" and nobody would get banned. The reason is because people were in general nicer to each other, so we were allowed to have nice things
Nowadays you don't get this anymore and all the mods have red eyes and so many people get banned left and right every day, many of which wouldn't have gotten the ban in the old days But its required to keep the forum sane
I guess the influx of the new people and the size of TL is the reason why we cant have those nice things anymore
There are a few threads where i feel more at liberty to post more freely (like anime, some of the game threads, MLP thread) because there is a distinct tone and community to those threads of friendliness so we can get away with it
But in general i dunno... I know the mods are doing their job (unlike any other forum), but i guess you could say i've been very discouraged at posting more in general because of the recent TL atmosphere. Its not the mods fault, its the posters
I don't really to think of myself as a vet (lol obv not, so many ppl who are more vet than me) but i've been here a while before the sc2 wave (and have lurked TL for a year or two before that) Still i'm a total unknown (though i dunno, if anyone in the thread recognizes me for having done something dumbshit or ultracool then say so haha). I've posted a bunch of stuff in the past that is definitely TOTALLY banworthy today but i didn't get banned WEEE. But thats because the atmosphere is different now Maybe because my acc is old enough and i have enough posts that isnt LR (never posted in one i think) then i get a little bit more leeway? Or maybe some mods are secretly hanging out in the anime thread or something haha

Totally agreed apart from the atmoshpere, i don't really feel any tense atmosphere really, except the mods are certainly easy going in the general forum

I still remember that game. I think I even have the replay. That was a DICK MOVE.

Have you ever entered a religious/political thread in the general forum?
Things get out of hand real quickly there.
The KMD, ADT,MLP threads and such are more lenient, however the first 2 are also from ''before'' the huge influx of sc2.
The KMD and ADT have spawned their ''own'' community pretty much.
E.G pretty much everyone knows each other in those threads, there likes, dislikes how to get on their nerves(lol).
Earlier back, there was a thread where Harem disagreed with my statement and I thought my ban's coming..... Fortunately it didn't come because another poster convinced him otherwise (or else I might have been passed off as a troll or something). A shitty experience (an educational one too) from my point but to me, it proved the message of this thread.

Yeah, that second sentence makes itself a guarantee. Self fulfilling prophecy like.
And reasons you disagree with or don't know isn't the same as no reasons.

You might get banned for being a martyr, but never for speaking up.

You're forever my hero for starting up that MS thread. It has now became a sanctuary of MS-related trolling, one of those holy places the newly tightened moderation has not reached into yet. Well, Harem certainly didn't appreciate all the "HUEHUEHUE" though. You probably also know that this thread (and game and the people) are still super awesome.

Never, ever post that. It guarantees you one. You should probably read up the TL Ten Commandments in your off-time anyway.
