It will be interesting to see the algorithm you lot use to calculate the seemingly additive stupidity rating of users since you take into account all previous posts and PMs. Just my 2 cents that I think the ban should take into account the offending post only, but I'm more outspoken than most would fancy I suppose. | ||

You posted a thread with a picture to make a joke. Three times. It's pretty common knowledge that isn't allowed here. | ||

It's clear you think you were slighted against for your past ban. Let's move forward or take this to PMs. | ||

I think I am getting my point across without worrying about the analogy lining up perfectly... We can see previous posts though, enough to see how people were recently. Profile ->Post number links to their post history. It was REALLY easy to see why that guy was banned. And that should be enough, especially for hight count people. Certainly, someone that's been here as long as me, say... you aren't going to go into the early hundreds of my posts to see if I was a shitty poster then and now (I am, but that's not the point : D). If people would take a few seconds to do that on a ban they think was questionable, it would clear up a lot of their concerns, I think. | ||

I was starting to feel like TL was transitioning into a childrens TV show. :D ! ! ! edit, thinking back I even remember someone being banned for something along the lines of "an attitude that is not conducive to the aims of TL" | ||

Also, go back and reread my post as I have ninjad ( wasn't trying to ninja I just realized it said something a bit different than Intended.) it immediately after posting to be more clear. I am not bitter at all. I think you guys are doing a good job. | ||

Any website as big as TL has to be strict in order to keep it's reputation as a decent site, I spend soo much time trying to sort through all the flame wars and bad posts just find the decent ones by people who I've come to realize actually understand both the game and the community well. Imagine how hard it would be if TL didn't ban people? | ||

Once again, I am not complaining at all (to Incontrol), I think you guys are doing a good job. Besides, it's your forum you can do what you want. In my defense though, I only posted that thread (the lurker joke) because the "SCV supplies" joke became a featured thread so I thought I could get away with it. | ||

They also warned me for posting funny (also stupid) threads that people seemed to really enjoy. Even TLO commented on one and said he thought it was funny. Still, I understand why. They need to keep things clean and sometimes maybe overstep a bit. It's better to be overzealous than "underzealous?" This is one of the best forums on the net and it's obvious why. Also, keep in mind that longtime users, well known users and pros can often break the rules without punishment. That's a fair double standard, I think. Edit: Also, with the influx of TONS of new posters there is SO much clutter that they really have to cut down. Even after being the 'victim' of some of this stuff I can honestly say I think they should be MORE zealous. The SC2 strategy forums are a joke and they should be chain-banning about 50% of the posters there imo. That's a dirty lie. The mods keep tabs on everybody... old dogs or new pups. I've seen a lot of old posters get bans for the same stuff new users can be banned for. It just doesn't happen as frequently is all... If you were to think of the users based upon... icons for example on this forum... you will notice that the quantity of users overall of people with Battlecruisers as their icon is dwarfed substantially by the amount of scv's on this forum. I have this vision that the active TL userbase looks like a pyramid where there really aren't "that many" people with over 8000, 6000, 4000 posts. Most of them are the older posters and have been around the block (with a few trips to ban-town I'd bet). | ||
