this thread is awsome, I agree should be sticky

btw. anyone remembers the thread where everybody who posts in it would get a temp ban? originally I thought this thread could have the same potential, like everybody defending the OP revealing themselves as trolls

Of course there was good reason to ban the OP when he has like 2 lines of text, a single image taken in a single point of time now showing the fact that the 38 workers were mining all in the same nearly mined out base, which is the same as having 20 workers mining that base, and didn't show the fluctuations of the income. People have been banned before for making retarded "Blank is OP" with zero legitimate claims made, so why should a guy who makes a whole god damn thread about it be any exception?

Then when 20 people jump in to chime WHY WAS HE BANNED HE JUST POSTED THAT MULES REALLY ARE OP with no legitimate newsworthy evidence or claims made get banned, why are you surprised that they get banned too?

Go on any other video game forum and you'll find moderators a million times worse than TL mods I can't believe anyone has the gall to complain about them when this is one of the best communities of any video game in existence.

The OP has a point. A pretty solid one at that. I think more than the OP being wrong for posting this, the 38 people who just spam that people shouldn't post like this are wrong. Why are you trolling around pretending your moderators or you run this site? Just read the post, you don't like it don't comment and leave. It is that simple.

The mods should ban everyone he says this is a good post.

Read the guidlines, everything must be supported. Even the wildest theorycrafting has some basis for discussion. This is really the best example of a "qq" thread, even though i hate using that term.

No mules do not euqual 38 scvs. Mules last for a period of time, scvs are infinite. Its disgusting I even have to state that, its so obivous. But considering how many people are actually trying to reason and defend the OP, its making me lose faith in the Tl community.

Starting a thread topic with the letters OP usually end up getting the thread starter banned. Blizzard did a good job on trying to balance the races in SC2. So having someone start whining about "overpowered" units/abilities with no logical support to back it up usually gives you a free ticket to the ban list.

Did you even read Kennigit's post and all of the other mods' posts in this thread? This is a bad post, Kennigit said it first, and even selected it as an example of how not to post. It's perfectly legitimate to call this a bad thread.

Derail the thread? I'm confused. I believe this is one of the few threads that we are actually allowed to just post nonsense in.

Also, its not like the admins go around banning people just for shits and giggles. They typically have a pretty good reason for it.

Pretty much.
There's quite a difference between banning for shits & giggles and justly banning while putting a funny reason for shitz & giggles.

+1 for spelling shitz with that "z." Made the comment all the better. :D

Edit:
@Frost: Now see, it is a bad post. It might might MIGHT have been a better post if it wasn't like "MULEs are OP, bye," but had some reasoning and such in there... but hey, not everybody is cool enough to post about something, claim that something is this or that with little to no logic, and get a great topic like the OP.

I've said before, but this is what the obvious problem is with the forums now. There's people who just go into a thread, make one sentence or paragraph comment on the OP without even reading the rest of the thread, then never respond or even go in the thread again. That's what you do for fucking youtube comments not on a discussion forum.

And that compounds. Who wants to read through 12 pages of a thread that's actually maybe a page and a half of actual content interspersed with "blah is op!" one liners?

I`ll prob get banned for this, but i swear i read somewhere (I can`t find it) that blizzard are thinking about putting a cool down on calling down a mule to even it out. So if you are poor in using your command center energy, you can`t send down 3 or 4 mules from the same command centre at once. But then you would think chronoboost and inject larva etc... should get a similar cool down? Its tricky. Best leave it to the experts and just enjoy the game as it evolves through patches and expansions :D

Wheres your hammer kenny? ^^

User was temp banned for this post.


When will people learn that prefacing what you say with, "I'll probably get banned" in fact means you definitely will.

The #1 reason that guy got banned was because he said that. Kennigit probably didn't even read past the 1st line, just read that and dropped the hammer.

Like 3 other people in this thread alone have gone out the same way. Don't people catch on? =/

The OP was banned for making a balance post with no content. Your counterpoint barely has any more than his did.

If you are going to get rid of mules, please get rid of chrono boost, warp in and spawn larva. When you put mules into perspective with what the other races have access to, you can see that they aren't overpowered.

awful, awful analogy. Admins are moderators of this place because they worked to build it up, of course theyre allowed to say whose in here and whos not. Police men aren't moderators of life, so of course theyre not allowed to judge who deserves it and who doesnt.

its funny how people bring up the 1st amendment here. Free speech is only applicable to the government. people are fired for saying stupid shit all the time (lolRickSanchez). if you dont like how TL is run, you are free to leave, just as they are free to ban you whenever they feel (but luckily for us we can read the rules and get a general idea of how to not get banned).

besides, the OP only got temp banned. its not a big deal
