I got banned for 2 days once (rightfully so, you should never post when in a bad mood) and i'm usually not scared when i post. The TL Mods are strict but fair. Yeah it's actually worse being a mod because you have to police yourself. I don't post at least 30% of my posts because i swear at someone/flame them because they are terrible. When in doubt, say nout. | ||

 But I have the fear of the ban in me. The main reason is a tendency to for some reason sit myself in front of the computer when I get home after a late night out. So waking up the next day at 1pm, maybe an hour later I remember posting *something*. Not a good feeling. But in the end it's usually sort of coherent for someone who is totally hammered. For an outsider I guess it would just look like a normal.. kind of stupid.. post. | ||

Things turned out ok. oh my god the mods have found us! run everybody! run for your lives! but in all seriousness i got like 2 or 3 warnings. sometimes it really made me feel like: really? for this? but whatever its a warning so no reason to fret about it. so much posts not enough mods to really ponder on every single case i guess. | ||

However, I've only been warned once, and I certainly did not consider my post to be warn-worthy. I made a post in a LR about HuK who I thought luckily made a blind counter in a PvP match, and then I got promptly warned with a remark like "don't make stupid posts".. T.T I think the mods here, on the whole, do a great job, but there are certainly inconsistencies with warns/bans that you see here and there in various threads. I'm sure it comes from having so many different moderators that one or two will likely have off-days or just be more troll-like than the others. | ||

So yeah, as long as you stay out of the off-topic discussions you should be fine. Once you cross that line, everything's fair game and you'd better just stick to the popular opinion or take the time to write a three-page essay to explain your position. That's the sad fact with human mods/admins: no matter how well they try, emotions and their own opinions can and will cloud their objective judgment from time to time. | ||

I try to think, there are many people who will read a post I make, even though I might never get the confirmation. I want them to think: "Sweet that guy wrote exactly what I was thinking aswell" or "That was an interesting point and well written". In the start, when I was the person thinking that about other peoples posts, it would make me all warm and fuzzy inside. And it still does. There are countless times I log in, write a couple paragraphs, proof read it and delete it all and log out. I don't know why it's not like I'm not being mannered. Probably more so that it adds nothing or that I don't respect my own opinion or ability to comment on a certain subject. When I can't even get a good paragraph going or get stuck in my thoughts and lose side of the point I wanted to convey, I also delete it because it's just gonna be a worthless post. I planned my registration date in advance (10/10/10) and haven't made a lot of posts. There's quite some things I like to comment on but when someone else already wrote what you think. There's no reason to write it again. I think I understand the rules well. At a younger age I got arrested and jailed in holding for about a day for something I thought was the most unfair judgement ever. Turns out I was only looking at it from my own perspective and not taking the view of my environment into account. It was a great lesson. Years later I also read the essence of it again in a book. "It's not what you say, it's what other people hear". In regards to the banning policy, I have never felt a ban or warning was given out unfairly. I'd even go as far as to say that there are many instances where I felt like atleast a warning should've been given out. You can pretty much say anything you want. As long as you do it with respect. | ||
