I'm just teasing Torte <3

I'd be super surprised if you got shadowbanned, especially given that most of the gaming subreddits hate the 9 to 1 rule and the admins don't really enforce that rule: afaik they primarily care about voting rings.


I think even for voting rings they're lenient unless you're really abusing it (constantly, everyday and with 20 to 40 accounts). Chanman was doing it for a long time, he voted up my Armchair Athleticism articles back in 2012. He said he was posting them to some friends and that's how they upvoted, guess that wasn't exactly true.

Title will turn off many skeptics, hopefully the content is consistently good enough. They're doing a lot to make it work (getting the right people to guest-write, flying myself and our team to events, meet talent for interviews, etc.).

Here's hoping.

Thanks~

You don't have to contribute 9 to 1 in order to post your own content.

The 9 to 1 thing is just as a guideline to ensure you're an active contributing member, which I naturally do.
If I do get shadowbanned, I'll be very surprised but nothing's outright unlikely.




Also, I work for Aller Media now, would never work for Daily Dot.
1337mag.com -- this is what I'm working on.

lol it actually didn't occur to me that you could have been the writer of the daily dot article. Your writing style is different. I just thought tobi could have been flaming you because he might not have read the article at all and only have seen the post on reddit and jumped into his overused flaming vehicle.

I also didn't realize you even had a job that was related to e-sports.

Ah, makes sense (:
It's cool to hear that my writing is actually distinguishable (good or bad)!

Also, yes. Company is very new to eSports or international market, but not new to publications. So it'll be a fun ride.

I think Clauf is permanently dead, the CEO still lives in Berlin, he's a nice guy.
Not sure about Sapinda.

Azubu run by Ian Sharpe and COO is ex-CGS: Jason Katz.
Even Megumixbear works at Azubu

being a daily dot writer would be a more respectable job than any of my recent ones. or current non-one. I can judge that article for being poorly written (dude needs to learn wtf a comma splice is) but commend the writer for his business sense.

Ian is actually a good guy, I think we. Used to write together at definitive esports or that might be someone else

Daily Dot is not really a respectable news site, right?
