User was warned for this post. Reason: some set, pre-made automated response like "trolling" or "internet meme" that's probably too much work though. The vast majority of warnings are pretty justified imo. | ||

I have a really high respect for the seriously awesome work that the admins do in order to keep the forums effective and useful for all. I've been admining also at Quake 2 scene and I undestand what works and what doesn't (nothing happens if everyone is scared of "getting dirty"). Good going guys  | ||

What you're describing in the OP isn't a free speech issue. If we banned you for posting this thread, then yes that's a problem. But the guy you quoted is a really bad example because he's ignoring the thread to post his own opinion on Idra. His post just leads to people responding to him and an argument about "QQing" rather than discussing the actual topic. Thus, we feel a temp ban was the right action to take. | ||

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. he responded in a bad tone that leads me to believe he was a troll. saying stuff like "zerg qq idrabadlol" isn't the same as saying "in my opinion the reason why zergs aren't doing as well isn't because of their UPness, it is because (insert reason here) " and back it up with logic. you aren't going to a debate saying stuff like "lol u suck" | ||

Sites like Elitestjerks are strict and well it works really well there. I find people are just too used to forums being overly lax in moderation so they perceive any form of moderation as being "strict". People shouldn't be able to post whatever they please. | ||

Instead it turned into a ridiculous waste of time. I got tired of reading it 3/4ths through the first page. TL wants to stop that shit from happening. So they make examples out of the morons. TL should do this more often, not less often. | ||

There isn't any way for anyone to benefit from reading the post you quoted. It's completely trash and I don't know why you'd want the thousands of people looking at that thread to read that comment. ditto keep up the good work mods! | ||
