most of the old timers have one or more banned acct although the influx of sc2 ppl brought a lot of crap posters who post at other places with no moderation whatsoever. these people deserve it. Mods are harder on newbies which makes sense on TL. Only way you gotta learn. | ||

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. Yeah. It gets even more magnified when it's the first reply to a thread as that always gets looked at more harshly. First reply can turn even the best OP into a trash thread. (ie memes, derailment, posters trying to pretend to be cute/funny/smart with some dumb joke etc.) | ||

I have seen a lot of veterans receiving bans because they were just trash talking and trying to destroy the people who didn't agree with them without even trying to justify their own opinion. So imo you are flat out wrong concerning this statement. | ||

TL's mods are completely in their right to moderate the community in any way they see fit, without strict moderators and the discipline they enforce, TL would run the risk of becoming like 4chan (less of the risk, since TL deals with starcraft, and good manners are pretty admirable in the professional scene). Edit: actually...Mr. OP, if you would like a amount of concise feedback from the community, you might be able to put a poll in the OP to provide a general trend. | ||

As to the quote mentioned in OP i happen to agree with it, but that user posted his opinion in wrong way, that was invitation to flamewar not constructive opinion nor constructive criticizm. While i belive the criticizm of inverviewed person do have place in disscusion about interview that certainly was not the way to do it. | ||

So imo you are flat out wrong concerning this statement. you haven't been around long nuff. you can be very calm and sensible and get banned, shit I have, I got a 30 day for talking in favor of kespa when bliz muscled in when it first happened, now mostly everybody sees and gets it now and I got a per ban for alerting people to 1-year free antivirus subscription, just cus I didn't put enough effort into the OP. I think I'm on my last warming still lol, only reason I'm not is cus I contributed a lot back in the day on live threads, articles, R&S, and all that. | ||

LOL. Please look at my join date before making that statement. It is true I didn't post for many years but I always visited TL everyday and read (I dare to say) a VERY large part of the posts. | ||

If you want a "more slack" version of TL.net, go on the official b.net forums, lol.  That post was going to derail the thread anyways into a flame war. | ||

Warning and temp banning for that post is not just strict, it's unfair, he said it with reason in mannered way. And it's a sensible opinion. | ||

Every time i post i run the risk of having Bronze leaguers and people who havent even played a single ladder match telling me im wrong and thumbs downing my post because they simply dislike my personal opinion. Too strict is better then having no mods at all. And I openly accept TL moderators. Thanks Guys for the great job.  | ||

Since SC2 that feeling of "personality" each user has has diminished alot. It's hard (impossible) to get to know all the new users, and you no longer know what to expect going into the vast majority of threads. Before you could tell by looking at the poster. Incontrol would be arguing with people / trolling / posting some wise starcraft strategy. CharlieMurphy would be trolling even harder. Rekrul would be posting some crazy ass story / touching on some taboo subject. You get the point. Now its near impossible to distinguish between the good threads and the bad threads without going into them. I think alot of bans are resulting from this. Mods like to read interesting articles and stories just as much as we do, but when they feel they are wasting their time due to the large influx of bad / un-interesting threads their patience wears. Most mods probably want TL back to the old way, and banning lower than good quality users is potentially one way to do this. I feel its a lost cause at this point in time, while starcraft 2 is at the peak of its popularity, but it still needs to be done to keep some semblance of quality posting visible. | ||
