It's like thinking about how you COULD have saved that little boy from drowning, but didn't, and now you gotta live with it forevermore. Really, though, I feel bad about them not because I'm scared of another, but because each is a sign that I let the TL staff down somehow. I try to be a good poster all the time, but every so often my inner retard says hi, and when I get the warning PM, I feel so demoralized, like I ruined the big party for everyone by puking on the popular girls, and all my friends are pissed. Or maybe I'm needlessly melodramatic. I dunno. In any case, great blog.  I'm going with needlessly melodramatic. If I had a choice between letting a little boy drown and getting a post moderated on TL, I'd let the post get modded. That wasn't the comparison I was trying to make. I meant that receiving the warning IS like letting the little boy drown because you were stupid / drinking too much / whatever. But yeah. Melodrama is fun.
Melodrama is awesome. I'm just saying, they seem to hit different points on the catastro-meter.

Very enjoyable to read blog. 5/5 and since I'm fairly new to TL you've convinced me to read your posts on Brood War history. Keep up the great work!

This is a trap. I'm sure of it.

I was told by someone that staff are evil. Was I lied to!?

I always enjoy these blogs
My own short contribution to this thread: My very first post on TL was on one of the first TLFE's, and I basically told Manifesto that I disagreed with everything he said. We had a nice debate that went on for a few posts, and I didn't get banned or warned.
I also remember in one of my first twenty posts, I argued that Baekmagoji would be a very good map for Terran to go mech vs Zerg, and Fakesteve called me a retard because Terran mech had been unfashionable for a long time (and because I couldn't spell Mutalisk). We discussed it briefly, the game started and DarkElf went mech, and once again I didn't get warned or banned. I specifically remember that discussion because I was a low post newbie and I figured something out that even the veterans didn't think was likely (mech went on to become standard play on Baekmagoji) which made me realise that even a nobody could contribute if they found their niche. That discussion eventually led to my two TLFE's which both focused on understanding how maps affected gameplay.
You'll never get banned on TL for disagreeing with someone, mod or regular poster, as long as you do it properly. Also, never think that TL is too big for you to contribute. Everyone can make the forums better, even if it is just by thinking before they post.

Plexa is simply one of the coolest people ever.
Oh yeah, and maybe the staff is cool too. 
|
Nice read, glad to see you making more and more posts ^_^
|
40 page LR threads for major tournaments, but the more amusing thing is to see how many perma-bans there are from those old threads.

Lol i love reading those old threads and seeing the post quality of the now awesome staff :p
I think people complain when short term things don't go their way, but over all the moderation staff provide an incredible service to this community to ensure it remains a civil place for good discussion and news without turning into a swamp of gossip, drama and trolls (reddit?)
Your "last post" represented a significant loss to this community; it was a little bit shocking for every i am sure. Even in my short time here you have most certainly made an impact on my experience (first mod that i PMd - apparently "w00t" "wat" and "lol" are not good posts) Anyway i am glad you came back! I hope you are recovering well
Nice blog ♥

Sweet blog! Yah, TL staff is really cool. But they can sniff out a troll or general retard pretty quickly. Keep up the hard work guys!

But if your opinion is different than any mod that's maybe not having a good day. You're going to get banned 9 times out of 10. There's almost no reason to post here. I think reddit is pretty awesome though. I would love to see an example of this.
I kind of want to ban him for disagreeing with me, just for the irony. Oh but wait, I'm not "not having a bad day" so I guess I won't. He's so right.

Honestly Plexa, I'm still a bit scared of you, and nevermoreso than when I was on riptide's beta account because of his generosity and you started chatting with me haha...our 2v2s were the first SC2 I'd ever played
|
i was about to type that i love the staff, then realized what i'd be saying
but i still love the staff
|
I don't fear the mods, I fear the posters...
Does this have anything to do with your other thread?
