you're not allowed to post those kind of links here and if you had bothered reading the forum rules you would be aware of that.

I agree though that the ban is a bit harsh, you could've gone off with *just* a warning, but hey, I'm not a mod

too many retards around lately so bans are justified to even it out a bit, maybe harsh, but its deffinately needed.

I'm guessing its just a 1-2 week ban so he will be back soon enough in the worst case scenario anyway.

There was talk at somepoint of their being a thread that posted everyone who was banned, and why is anything going to come of this or am I thinking of a different site?

Ye that was here, but there are too many bans to keep up with that I guess.

when you sign up for tl.net now, does it make you read the rules before you get activated? because I highly doubt anyone is going to search around the site to try to find some rules like that.. guy looked like he was just helping the thread starter

I think they get PM'd? Not sure, but its at the top of general forum as a sticky anyway. Not like they have to search around with it too much.

While that is true, before you said that, I don't think I've ever noticed them being there lol.. nor have I read them completely :[ Then again, I didn't see that ape in that video either

You could always try a temp ban that auto-directs to a PM in their mailbox saying something like "Don't ever do XXX again. It's against the rules. Go read them." I think that would work much better.

We have that option, among others.

I did the bannings simply because nobody get the rules about no warez and some time somewhere people got to learn. Loco is far from the only one to be banned for it.

With that said, if he stay to the rules and is an otherwise good poster he can be unbanned for all I care.
