You be the judge.
See posts like this make me question the maturity/age of some of the TL posters... how can anyone be shocked at all that they got warned for that?
Someone can say "I think artosis would be a more enjoyable commentator if he didn't complain all the time. Really hard to listen to" as opposed to what you said which has 0 value and is just annoying.
How is that at all a mystery?
Totally agree. The immaturity on these forums is just disgraceful.

We are the site. This site is nothing without the users. TL would go under if nobody visited. TL is not doing you a favor by existing, you are doing the owner a favor by adding equity (as a pageview or as a part of the community) by being here. TL is a business, not a charity house: there's a reason why you aren't allowed to own part of its shares, even as a silent partner: those shares have monetary value.
People would only not visit TL if they didn't like it. Considering TL grows on a monthly basis wtf is your point?
You guys do know that there is a report feature, right? Sometimes posts get overlooked. If you use it properly, state the reason, and maybe cite that someone else was banned for the same thing, they'll not treat people differently. Oftentimes I think it's just that something was overlooked.
"Come on guys... Idra isnt god... he gonna qq like every other zerg player because they didnt receive buff..."
User was warned for this post
User was temp banned for this post.
So now the question I am raising here is "Is TL a little too strict on what can or can't be said on the forums?"
The example I provided is someone who in obvious disagreement and he has expressed that by saying "Idra isn't god." Yet, this is ban worthy? I'm wondering why it is so easy to get temp banned on TL.
Well, just a thought. Hopefully I don't get banned for this post.
It is temp-ban worthy imo, the thread was IdrA's opinion on the patch notes. This guy who is stating that "IdrA isnt god" etc wasn't talking about patch notes, or IdrA's opinion on them, just his opinion on IdrA
The fact that Idra is not god is not an opinion, it's a fact, unless I really didn't understand something.
He is just saying that Idra is not the oracle, and that he can eventually talk following his interest.

This is a good point. If you are a new user and do not have access to the report feature, you can feel free to PM a mod if you see a post that is obviously unacceptable.

Sometimes i think the moderators are too strict. Then i see posts like this and realize how stupid some people can be.

Somebody having a negative opinion is not a troll. I have gotten 3 warnings and 2 of them I agreed with, the third one was just me speaking my opinion on something that I didn't agree with in the most honest way possible.
ALTHOUGH, Kudos to the admins for running a good forum and I am glad I got all three because it has motivated me to put more effort and think before I make posts.

Not everyone is perfect all the time either though. Sometimes users are stupid and get banned. TL doesn't usually ban people for no good reason - even if the reason isn't specifically stated in the ban thread, there is usually a history of the banned user being a terrible poster over several days (or weeks, or months)
It's really about the tone he said it in. And, he was a newly registered member. Like it or not, there is an unofficial grace period in which you need to establish yourself worthy of being a member
People saying that TL is too strict should start reading the SC2 forums constantly for 2 days. Every Post. I bet that after this two days most would opt for a 10 times increase in the number of bans/warnings than before.
well, some people get bans or warnings that they don't deserve. Like, I got temp banned for 2 days by saying "fail" to an SKT fan who complained about the Kwanro team transfer. And some other people got warned because they were insulting/complaining about marauders. :O
The staff over-moderates and the members are hypersensitive. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of great stuff on Team Liquid, otherwise I wouldn't be lurking about. That being said it is unfortunate that StarCraft, the manliest computer game there is, has the biggest collection of blubbering vagina's on the internet.

You're right, one word posts are perfectly fine. /sarcasm

EPT
I see you made a joke. I am now going to follow each post you make to find more funny stuff! Nevermind me moderating the rest.
