If you guys ban me for what I said that's totally acceptable. I'm not complaining you guys should set some example anyways.

Am I sorry? Of course. I still hate Free over that bs last night. Do what you gotta do, anyways that was my 2nd warning when it came to LR stuff

In my ideal world, there would be no need to restrict free speech, as it can never do more harm than the act of regulating it could.

I respect the decisions made by the staff however, and despite not agreeing with it in principle, I know that in practice it will raise the general quality of the forum. Kids will think twice before posting any inflammatory remarks.

This has absolutely nothing to do with free speech or the restriction of it.

For people who cannot watch a stream (for whatever reason) and just want to follow the game it is just useless clutter. It has not benefit whatsoever. In fact it is very annoying and actually detrimental to the flow of the thread and the forum as a whole, which is why it certainly does not have to be tolerated. It's just like spam, are you going to tell me that spam should be allowed because regulating it restricts free speech?
Would you stand in my drive-way, say STUPID FAG and claim to be protected by free speech? TL is after all a private forum, so free speech doesn't apply anyway.

My opinion is that the forum is in general really well moderated in terms of quality, the main concern here and how i read this "thread indication" is that normally lack of content is more permissive in LR threads, i mean, its more acceptable to post your feelings like "go Jaedong you can do this" and normally cheering a player doesnt interrupt the flow of the thread. However, this permissiveness has came to some people as an indicator of "free posting" or "free speech", so there have been a huge increase in "hate posts" in those threads. While i can understand cheering posts or exclamations posts (and normally there are 5/6 of these consecutive posts that dont add too much to the thread) the hate posts are simply annoying, and the problem is not that they dont add anything, but that they disrupt the flow and provoke other readers/watchers encouraging a nonsense flamewar.
Help me! im still improving my English. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. M. G.

I don't see how competitive rivarlyness and stuff like Plexa quoted it are mutually exclusive at all.

+ Show Spoiler [GOM match possible spoiler] +
I'm watching the GOM special match now, but before I know who won, I'm going to request a ban to the person who made the thread "[translation] Bisu interview" if Bisu won. I realize there's a tiny tiny possibility it could be about something else or about him losing, but based on the fact that koreans don't care about ELO, I'm 99% certain he won based solely on that thread title and its timing. There's always a "[translation] League winner interview" thread the day after a big game, not so much for the loser. I'm watching the games now, but with a preconceived notion of what will happen. If I'm wrong I'll come back and edit this out.

it's an old interview, it's not about gom

someone did indeed make a thread about gom winner interview though and spoiled the match for me with his thread title (which I then proceeded to change)

are you REALLY proposing banning people who put the effort to translate interviews for the non-korean speaking community?

I have not challenged TL's rights into banning what it wants, I just felt like giving my viewpoint on it, or in other words, what I would (not) do if I had the word.

Pardon me for not taking the careful time to detail a great length the means to watch SC while avoiding nasty spoilers... uh... because I assumed people would assume "net" to mean "places on the net you're likely to find..."

Like the example that they stated about the Bisu interview. OK, so Bisu was interviewed - so? He's interviewed often; there's no law saying you have to assume it relates to tournament A, B, or C. Likely the chump clicked on the "interview" and "zomfg SPOILERS IN MY TLs OH NOES!" Pretty simple solution, if there's something you really don't want soiled stay off community sites and watch the damn thing in peace. It doesn't take a brain trust to know you're likely to bump into spoilers on community sites. More importantly, most people in the know enough to be on TL know how to get VODs sans TL to see their matches.

Of course my views are entirely my own as I don't have any issues with spoilers as the result isn't remotely as interesting as how the result was arrived at.

Does this include things like my LR from the SKT vs Oz thread? It's, well, not the most intelligent of LR.
