not strict enough. all posts whose meaning or point requires understanding a meme should be ban-able offenses.

Strict moderation is the only way to keep huge communities from dissolving into mush similar to blizzard public forums and most fan sites. TL is the #1 site for many reasons, and the prompt and strict moderation is one of them. Sometimes accounts are even banned before their first post (obvious malicious users), which is impressive in my book.

Everyone on this thread is afraid of getting banned so they are saying they like TL the way it is XD

jk, TL can be ran how it wants to be ran I cant really say it should be one way or another, if they want to run it stricter than communist Germany so be it.

The moderation is fine. It's much better than a forum I go to that has filtered out the words "teh" and "ftw" for whatever reason and ban you if you swear.

You're kidding right? There has been a lot of criticism of TL moderation in here. And as Hot_Bid (and multiple other mods) pointed out, anyone is free to criticize TL. We like criticism, it sometimes helps make the site better. We only ask that you do it civilly and in the proper venue.

TL moderating is perfect, and I rarely see a case where I think a ban was unjust.

Just be glad unk isn't a TL mod

I guess the fact that this is a gaming website, the majority of the moderators should be fairly younger than moderators from other forums. So maybe they are less patient or less forgiving as to how people express their ideas.

But it's up to us users with accounts from this website to know that they are the authority in here, and therefore we got to follow their rules.

Idra can be criticised. He gets a huge amount of shit on here, albeit most of it caused directly by his own trolling of people who don't understand his sense of humour. But criticism of any player must be on topic, if you just start randomly shitting on a player in a topic then other people will start giving you shit and then before you know it there's shit everywhere. Instead of looking just at the opinion voiced in the post and then judging whether we agree or disagree with the opinion based on mod reaction you should look at it within the context. Most of the time it'll be because it was a terrible contribution or caused a shitstorm, not because of the opinion itself. Keep it on topic, generate intelligent discussion and contribute and you can say what you like.

Read these up:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=17883

It's not just what is said, but also who says it. If you want to be able to make new threads with only a few lines and a link (Artosis), type with the swagger of a captain strutting around his ship (FakeSteve), or make single-line-long comments on balance and expect to be taken seriously (HuK)... you need to earn that right. You earn that by contributing to the site.

If a new member comes along and insults a known and respected veteran offhandedly... yeah, that's just not gonna stand.

JWD i don't want to argue or go into it again. Only thing i want to say is that i meant it seems funny to me if a damn airplane hits skyscraper, the outcome however is not funny at all of course...Death of innocent people is not funny and i would never say that.
Still.. even if i would, i don't think it deserves ban - you could say what a fucking psycho, i would never stay anywhere close to this person, cause i would be afraid he wants to torture me to death with his dull home-made knife...and not comment it at all and certainly not ban the poor psycho for having different taste than you have. If i remember correctly the thread asked about what were people doing, how do they remember the day and what is their feeling and you can't ban someone for expressing his feeling...i think

I thoroughly enjoy the level of moderation here. If you are going to spout some uninformed bullshit flaming IdrA (who, believe it or not, is a real person with feelings), you deserve to be punished. I rarely see a ban or a warn where it was not warranted. I'd just like to thank the mods and admins for doing a great job here.

I feel like the moderation is lacking in the strategy forums but is sufficient everywhere else. In the strategy forums, it feels as if there aren't as many mods on as there should be, or that it isn't strict enough. I use to frequently read said forum but it always seems like I'm running into thread derailers, complainers, or people who just make shitty uninformed posts.

How do you not see how your comment is inappropriate? Even if that's what you were doing, you should have chosen to not respond to that thread. I just can't fathom how you think that's an acceptable response in any manner. Especially not in a thread that obviously has some very highly emotional meaning to a lot of members of the forum. Seriously, wtf is wrong with you?

i've made a post to congratulate someone for finding a rare piece of information but was temp banned cause my post was "insulting".

TL was never meant to be a place for free speech though, so we might be expecting too much.

TL is not a strict forum, if anything it should be even more moderated than it is right now so that idiots don't make so many retarded comments and threads. Go post in some other shitty forums filled with more garbage and see how much difference there is.
