Got my first warning a few weeks ago after over a year of a clean record for trying to calm down tofucake with adorable kittens in the DayZ thread.

This is a Warning!

Please try to post on teamliquid.net using proper English. This includes spelling out words like "you" and "you're" and appropriate grammar and spelling. If you can't be bothered to make your post readable why should anyone be bothered to read it?

Thanks in advance for your cooperation,
The Mod Staff

Took me 3 years before I got my first legit warning and it was just grammar related (how boring). The funny thing is I post the same way and occasionally abbreviate or use text slang all the time while posting.



My first real ban came about 2 years after I joined TL and it was for rickrolling chill. Was so worth it too. :D

That's kind of amazing, actually. What post was it that you got warned for? I want to see the horror for myself.

Also... you rickrolled chill? You can't leave the story there ;_; we must know more

I have no idea how to find the post I was warned for, staff can probably look it up though.

Rickroll was here, basically I was raging about how stupid TvP was in broodwar and as soon as I started talking about my skill level chill questioned it which pissed me off. Lol. http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=102886&currentpage=5#84

EDIT: having read through your post again, I think I've identified the problem that lead up to this: You and your girlfriend play League of Legends together, right? That's your mighty downfall, every tryhard knows that Heroes of Newerth is substantially better, has a superior relative skill potential, and you can't buy better heroes on it, if you buy the game you own the game.

I think you're missing the most telling point of that paragraph, which is that he spent $100 on League of Legends! Like, if you're not buying anything and just playing for free, fine, I could see why you'd prefer it to Heroes of Newerth. But $100? Are you kidding me?! At that point, just buy two HoN accounts and have access to all the game content and a higher level of play AND, this will be cheaper than spending a hundred quid on SKINS for the limited selection of free and purchased characters that LoL has. Like, seriously dude, if you're gonna sink that much money into a game, buy an actual game.

I can see why she wants to leave you.

User was warned for this post

FYI I see no record of which post you got warned for when you used the poor grammar supposedly. Only that there was a warning.

I like to think I don't write ban- or warn-able stuff on TL; I'm far more mindful of what I comment here than anywhere else on the web, and I'm usually pretty positive and amiable with my words anyways. But posting in political and religious topics was bound to land me in trouble sooner or later. I got my first warning ~50-100 posts in during one of the gun control threads because I martyred. I even read the martyr clause of the TL Ten Commandments, lol; I didn't even have the phrase in the original post, but I edited it in just in case because I felt the need to add it for whatever reason. I really should have known better, and thank God GM was feeling lenient that day only dropping a warning on me. Promised myself it wouldn't happen again.

My other warning was because I posted the Antoine Dodsen "meme." That was an honest mistake. Had zero clue that counted as a meme. In retrospect, I was slightly derailing from a serious discussion and I didn't offer anything productive to the thread, so I learned to stop posting simply to post.

Congrats on lasting so long here on TL without any issue! This probably sounds like a silly question but, how do you feel about having your first warning? Now that your slate is no longer totally untarnished, do you look at TL in a new light, or are you just like, "Ah well, bound to happen someday *move on*"?

After 2221 posts and 1 year and a half of TL, today I got my first warning (nothing too serious though) because I ended up spoiling one OSL match on Naruto thread.

How much time you had under your belt before your first ban/warning? Also, do you rember why?

It might have been before the days where specific posts were even traceable or linkable. I know the whole red text "User has been warned/banned for this post" didn't start till 2009 or 2010.

I am among top 25 for most bans, all but two by request!

And I sympathize, I was banned legitimately for two days on post number 2222.

Why would you be proud of that, out of curiousity?
Do bans give you some sort of religious or magical internet satisfaction? :D
