Seriously though, I'd be interested to hear about fakesteve's entertainment value. It's about as entertaining as the dialogue of an average b.net spam channel. Nothing personal against fakesteve. I see this will eventually come down to Steve's paint threads and then one could use Hot Bid's checklist with a checked "Get a blog ffs!" line or something along those lines... But thing is, a lot of people on these forums like Steve's style... or something... and the way his insults are promoted, and all of that is undebatable. What is debatable tho is how low a form of entertainment that presents. My stance on this is obvious. -Mynock | ||

 :Since the characters are often so charming, I wonder if characters would, in different situations, have fallen in love with each other. I will start by saying that - Anne Elliot is the only woman who appears to meet Darcy's (rather high) standards of what a truly accomplished woman should be. I don't think he would have be violently in love with her, but he might have admired her. Her family (though embarrasing) was near his level. He might have let himself fall in love. And perhaps they could have been happy together. But only if there was no prospect of Frederick Wentworth. Amusing college paper anyone? http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=35406 At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she wanted. The camomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked camomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him too much her asthma started acting up again. So camomile was out of the question. -Mynock | ||

It got me thinking. I don't see why threads have to be closed if they don't break the rules. Would they not dissappear by themselves when they loose interest? I'm just speaking generally because I have seen this in many forums. A mod comes in and decides a thread needs to be closed because he does not find it interesting. About tl.net I think the mods are great. Only thing is I want to point out is that there are alot of racist comments. I think that kinda stuff can scare some people away. So maybe give a warnig to people doing it if it's not already done. | ||

That includes the mods, and the rules. Nothing should be cut in stone and I really loved the arbitrary judgments when rekrul still put the fear of god into the hearts of the newbies. So PLEASE don't start over moderating the site to much, I have other communities for that. (Perhaps ban more idiots in the strategy section though.) | ||

 . He needs his head examined though, hes desparate to be a mod. This ban probably pissed him off a lot, althoug he had to know it was coming.Ill still miss him though, the drama he creates is great entertainment. Fakesteve 2 week ban is good, he posts too much crap, he was getting a little out of control and thats a warning to him. But he didnt need to be permabanned like mitsy did. If he doesnt come back this forum wont suffer much though, his contributions are not as great as some of you think. Whoever those people were who said that fakesteve doesnt care about teamlqiuid.... LOL, no one who posts that much doesnt care. | ||

i mod gotfrag forums and trust me, this forum is up on mount sinai compared to that. TLnet is one of the best sites and forums i have ever been a part of, and that is something that i have realized with time, as well as with poor experiences with other forums. here is my suggestion though: yes you do have the ten commandments, and yes common sense really should play a large role in whether a user should come or go. however i think not only should the regular contributors be let a little leeway, but as well as the newer members that have not yet caught on to the TLnet status quo. yeah, lots of mistakes are made by probes, drones, and scvs, but perma-banning may be a little harsh. a week ban at most for the first strike - give them a chance to reflect and mature so that they can possibly become contributors after the abeyance. nonetheless, this community is still very close, the mods deserve all the respect, and rules are rules. rarely have i seen a mod make a ban mistake, so i do not think there needs to be much change as it is. | ||

I agree with that: I think not banning people permanently, and instead giving them a sort of "warning" by issuing a 1 week ban then a 2 or 3 week one for the next time before a permanent one is dealt would be a step towards both sides of the argument. Those who think more bans should be executed would get it their way since then more people could be put on ice for a shorter while without any serious consequences, and people like Drone would also have their "consistency", since then a pretty strict and straighforward attitude from the mods would be easy to uphold. -Mynock | ||

I read the forums regularly, but I don't post that much. Although I felt he was wrong or I disagreed with him sometimes, this mitsy guy inspired alot of interesting discussion. I believe bans should be limited to ppl who spam or post illegal things. If a guy is a dick, the community will ignore him, theres no point in silencing his opinions. | ||
