It should also be mentioned that (unless I'm wrong) Idra has been banned from TL in the past for bad manners. So it's not like th TL mods just defend Idra for the sake of it.

Chill, I think you have me mixed up. Unless I have gone crazy; I never posted a picture in any of my threads, let alone three times.

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.

No, but I looked at them. They're all 1-2 line OPs (except the first one which was just random nothingness in the SC2 forums. You reposted it as a blog and it's still open.)

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=142718
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=151386

And you've made a few other really bad OPs. :/

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=131866
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=129212

I think a nice rule is to use a text editor when making OPs. If it's not something you'd be worried about erasing, it's probably not so great. The SCV joke was way funnier.

Well, before, I would have disagreed with this post. However, after spending around 30 minutes writing up a thread on adding a unit to zerg to help with ZvT scouting, then having it get closed after two replys, I'm now inclined to agree.

IF TL's strictness is out of whack, I'd say it leans more toward being too permissive. However. as a recent member I am not really worried by anything I've seen. The amount of incredible content here is terrific and isn't obscured by irresponsible posting. If TL were to suddenly loosen up, I would worry about that changing.
THIS was your PLAN?

They can do whatever the hell they want bro. The strict modding makes sure dumbasses dont troll the forum into garbage(like gg.net) and personally i likei t quite a bit

No, this is their restaurant. Though the main dishes are often times terrible, they still have some awesome side dishes. The portions are too small though. Doesn't really matter though, I tend to eat it like a delicacy anyway.

I think it has a lot to do with TL being a beacon in the gaming community that stands out to be everything the halo x-box community can never be. There are a great number of posts that deserve warnings/temp bans that never get them so I think things are fine. Long live TL.

We don't do balance/unit idea threads in SC2. This is a rule that gets enforced 23432 times a day.

Also, you proposed a zerg catapult called an Alphalisk. o.o

I think Incontrol might have copyrighted that already.

Do you think Blizzard would honestly pick up the idea or some meaningful responses would come from it or do you think it was just posting for the sake of posting? Threads like that belong in the blogs.... if anywhere (and my preference would be nowhere).

Jibba,

I know, I was just messing.

Any way, as someone who was banned already I would say that getting warnings and bans early on is pretty reasonable. The forum has pretty unique rules that newer users may not be aware of/ used to but most of them are good.

The mods are generally pretty fair. And considering how good this forum is nobody should really be complaining. :/

We are the site. This site is nothing without the users. TL would go under if nobody visited. TL is not doing you a favor by existing, you are doing the owner a favor by adding equity (as a pageview or as a part of the community) by being here. TL is a business, not a charity house: there's a reason why you aren't allowed to own part of its shares, even as a silent partner: those shares have monetary value.

I'm also on the side of TL mods possibly being much too lenient at times, but that's probably a good thing, and bad posters get what they deserve in the end, so it all works out.

The amount of garbage/spam/ads on other sites just astounds me at times, I generally don't even scroll past "user comments" anywhere else but here. We should all be thankful that they do this for free.

They aren't really strict honestly. They only temp ban you if you post something really stupid. Honestly they let a lot of posts slide (some of mine included) as well because otherwise they would go insane I think.

I prefer TL to go nuts with the banhammer. It blows my mind reading some of the posts here. It's like people post for the sake of posting or to troll. Troll posts should be dealt with severely to discourage even more troll posts (ie OP example).

Personally I think the strict moderation on TL is a good thing. It prevents trolls and other unwanted people from slipping by into the forum. I would much rather have a strictly moderated forum where people can have intelligent and thoughtful conversation than a weakly moderated forum where terrible, terrible people run rampant.

People don't visit TL because they feel like doing the staff a favor. They visit because they get something out of the experience. It's a mutually beneficial relationship.

Seriously. I'd ban or warn a solid 75% of the idiots posting in the thread where the ban in question came from.

So many posts there fall under one or more of these categories:

Flame: "ARE YOU FUCKIN STOPID U TWAT, T IS OP'
Nerd rage/hyperbole: "FUK U BLIZZ, PATCH THE FUCKIN GAME, ZERG CANNOT WIN ANY GAMES EVER'
and just plain old stupid.

I got banned a few days because of a stupid troll post (i even put a trollface picture with it).

I'm totally fine with it! It was my own damn fault for trying to be funny. I like it that they are strict.

To be honest, I think TL has some of the best forum moderation I've ever seen on a public forum.
