The example in the OP is a post with no meaning or purpose. Such posts not only don't contribute, but have a destructive effect on this site. They derail threads and hamper people to share their views on the actual topic. Just take a look at the other posts on page one that instead of discussing the topic, are targeted at the incredibly insightfull first comment... TL is not strict on speech. It is strict on destructive stupidy and pointless insults. In fact, the moderation on TL is damn close to perfect.

He is just saying that Idra is not the oracle, and that he can eventually talk following his interest. Personally, I don't find that offensive. It doesn't matter if it is offensive or not. The post didn't serve any purpose but stirring a flamewar and derailing the thread, as can be seen when looking at the other posts on page one. Maybe the post would have been somewhat acceptable if there were one or two paragraphs (or at least a single sentence!) responding to Idra's concerns...

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. People only get the report option after being members for one year. I believe that's quite good though, since it gives users enough time to get used to the standards of the forum. | ||

I think thats the reason why I didn't surpass 50 posts in the last couple of years. Keep TL.net clean! | ||

To be fair I've seen about 10 people saying "lol 1st amendment doesn't apply here," but I haven't seen anyone claim that they have a LEGAL right to free speech here yet. OP is just saying the level of acceptable conduct is too high and should be lowered. | ||

More people should just delete their post before submitting shitty things ^_^ I think thats the reason why I didn't surpass 50 posts in the last couple of years. Keep TL.net clean! Know how you feel, though I think I posted a bit faster than you, compares numbers, might be a bit of an understatement. | ||

As long as you write out your stance well, add thought to your argument and keep it from being inflammatory you're golden. Despite what a lot of new people think there is no rule written or unwritten about disagreeing with someone/something. It's how you present your disagreement that matters. | ||

Honestly, I wouldn't even mind TL being more strict. There are far too many "whine" posts, personal attacks, etc that go unchecked. I guess the admins can only do so much. | ||

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. No, the guy was trolling. You want that sort of thing allowed? Plus why would a FORUM have freedom of speech, this isn't America, it's the internet bro. | ||

It's not as crazy strict as elitistjerks.com (although that said, I'm fine with that too) And it's not an absolute snooze-fest like... well... most other forums out there. The TL balance is like Brood War. Just right. | ||

Honestly, the only reason I think this thread stayed open is because its topic is "Are moderators too strict". imo, we should have the debate in this thread, but it should be done in a thread with a better OP and this one should be closed. | ||
