Then, I shaped up and realized that the mods here are actually extremely fair in their judgments, and I realized that here wouldn't be a place for me to troll or be internet-immature as I like to call it. Here could be a place for me to actually try and put effort into my posts (which I also do on GameFAQs, but unfortunately the responses there are more often than not unsatisfactory, which anyone who frequents GameFAQs should know...) Here is a place where mods actually moderate somewhat heavily on the basis of a post's intelligence (at least, that's what I gleaned from browsing the Automated ban list). I realized that mods are fine with any sort of opinion, whether it's popular or not, whether it's critical of a popular community figure or not, or even Teamliquid's own TSL, as long as you're thoughtful in your opinion's presentation, provide good evidence, and don't fall into disrespectful ad-hominem territory - it really facilitates the type of discussion that I often try to have on the internet but fail on most sites because there are too many morons/trolls. As far as mods on internet forms go, the ones on TL have greatly earned my respect and I've begun habitually frequenting the site now.... it's addicting T_T So... yeah. I don't really have much of a fear of being banned anymore because the mods are actually quite fair. If you post smartly, you won't be banned, simple as that. And I know that if I ever get a warning/temp-ban in the future, it'll be very likely be justified. | ||

These are based off of my own observations and should be taken with a grain of salt. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/XfnSn.png) First up, the "What you post" chart. As you can see, it's quite easy to get banned. As you can also see, there are conflicting points. For instance, memes (in image form) and image macros are totally acceptable, in fact they are required, in the image thread, while elsewhere you will get banned for them. There's also the obvious martyring and flaming and such as well. ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/6oxEp.png) Next up is the "Where you post" chart. This is a combination of forums, thread types, and even a specific thread. Obviously, if you've got a thread in the closed forum, you've got a good chance at being banned as well. SC2 Strategy is easily the easiest place to get banned. Even looking at it wrong can get you a warning. ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/i8egs.png) And finally, the "Post count" chart. This one should be self explanatory. Newer people stand a decent chance at being banned, what with TL being so much different from the rest of the internet. Although, the longer you're here (ie: more posts) the more you get to know how TL works your chance goes down a bit until right around 1000 posts where you're like "pffft fuck that I'll only get warned for this, I have a thousand posts!" and then you get banned and you're like OKAY and you really do clean up and become a decent member of society. Then you hit 10000 posts and there's 1 of 3 things that happens. 1. You're fana, in which case you're gone 2. You're suddenly expected to act like some kind of example and even a simple typo gets you 30 days 4. What happened to 3? Finally, there's what I call the iNcontroL Point. While technically not a number, if you can manage to attain a post count of iNcontroL you can literally do whatever you want and not even Zeus would be able to ban you. To date, this has only been acheived by iNcontroL, despite konadora's best attempts. hilarious. laughed out loud. my dog looked at me funny. | ||

But rationally moderation is needed when you have so many new young people streaming in, and if I post stuff that I fund amusing here and there and get warned for it I guess I see it as a small price to pay for keeping the overall quality of the site high and not having people with thousands of posts with little value added. | ||

Hopefully my warnings are far enough apart and my report-spammage partially makes up for it. e_e | ||

You think very lowly of people if you think they can't have more than a few priorities. If you like something and you don't want it taken from you then you may have a priority not to do anything that would get it taken. | ||

I've gotten my fair amount of warning and a ban before and I simply don't give a shit. The mods on here are taking their job way too seriously (a.k.a. power-tripping), especially in the funny pictures thread. There are so many things in there that I regard as being funny that people got warned or even banned over that I can't take any of the mods seriously anymore. The thread tells you not to debate over the pictures, yet a warning or a ban is exactly that. Why not just implement a voting system so the users, not the mods, can decide whether a picture is funny or not and below a certain threshold the picture gets purged? The website promotes communication but doesn't even give you any chance of appealing a warning or a ban or explaining what you meant, should there be a possibility of it being taken wrong. The system is a joke. There are political systems that work that way and you don't like them. I have a rather harsh but efficient way of telling people that they're retarded or could have used Google and the likes and should I ever get banned for good, I'll just make a new account. Dynamic IPs for the win. And even if you're not on a dynamic IP: as long as you think you said the right thing and made your point clear and get banned regardless, you should realize that this community isn't quite smart enough to get what you're saying or at least whoever banned you isn't. | ||

Stay rational & logical, let your emotions and other factors stay away from your posts, and for most parts mods will let you go. | ||

Never understood the mentality of those who always live in constant fear of mod PMing you- it's not good for your health...  Despite, isn't mod messaging you kind of cool? Even though, of course, it may be that of condemnation where he calls you all kind of horrible things. | ||

Yes, common sense dictates that nobody should have any problem sticking around and having fun. But if common sense were really so common we wouldn't have the Automated Ban List. Yeah, the days of the Gotfrag and CAL forums are long gone for me as well, thank the lord! Course I don't have much to contribute to these forums so I don't post very often. | ||
