Though I have to say that number 6 seems a bit over the top, but I'm pretty laissez-faire about things like that. Also can you explain to me the restoration of the word trolling? I think that was before my time. | ||

The full ban/warning reasons are always in the headline. In this case "still not a good OP". | ||

what is it? tropical storm? hurricane? just a lot of rain? is this normal? special? for what reasons? full moon->high tides + contributing weather systems, other seasonal effects? who is affected, potentially affected, etc. Here's where you find out and tell us which areas are getting hit the hardest, then ask if any TLers are affected. Wall Street shut down for weather reasons! Thousands of cancelled flights. What's happening to other businesses? damage estimates? images that convey the scale of the storm and damage? There's good info all over the place, you just need to filter some of it and put some of the best stuff in the OP. Good that you put this in a blog, as martyring is a HUGE no-no elsewhere on the site. I'd suggest just taking the warns/bans as indications that the rules are stricter here, not that mods are out to get you. Accept them as mistakes in some form or another and learn from them. Even if you don't agree 100% with the policies enforced, at least you'll know how to post without picking up warnings and bans. | ||

I consider no. 6 much worse. Why is there even a thread about the thing if people can't say that she is doing it wrong? Is it just because the dominant culture on TL is american and there it is taboo to criticise how people look? I think no. 6 is the manifestation of the main problem of the moderation and that is punishing opinions when someone considers the topic "sensitive". But anyway, there is no point in bitching about that either, because several mods have explicitly expressed that they consider this attitude to be the right one, when I was bitching about it earlier. | ||

Almost on par with trying to restore the word "literally". Whose idea was that, anyways? | ||

Obligatory context: It is good to see at least a few normal people. It gives back a bit faith. The thread is not even worth discussing, we are right they are wrong. I am out and a bit ashamed of my fellow nerds, plz go get at least a bit of life. In the excellent bastion of good posting, the "Financial Abortions" thread. I don't know what you think you're going to get out of this, possibly a press conference called by TL staff publically apologizing to you for slandering your reputation as a quality poster? | ||

Well, obviously he sees it as justified mod action, since he's saying in his op: "and some of them were certainly well deserved. [...] Here is my collection of what I think are the worst mod decisions against me:" | ||

He had that ban removed after apologizing and editing those posts. That's why you can find him still posting in that thread only hours after he received a one week ban. For instance, in the MLG case, the other guy was being totally disingenuous (although it's a small comfort that he was nuked for apparently posting nothing but player bashing, besides trapping Fenrax here). He could have said "There is no official free stream" or "this event is PPV only" but instead he posts "Thre're [sic] some free streams  " inviting Fenrax, who in this instance was simply trying to figure out how he could watch some Starcraft, to ask for a link and get banned. | ||
