I always was a careful poster on TL, but now I am even more so. Also, it would be hilarious if someone got warned/banned on this thread... Edit: LOL, it already happened! Also, how does the system work? How many warnings before being temp banned, and how many temp bans before being banned? | ||

It seems alot of the bans are from <100 posts with a few more at the <300 mark, and incredibly rare to see 1k+ post members being banned (yes I look at the ban list regulary to see who gets bans  )The only time I got worried about being banned was making a new thread in Strategy about a change with protoss warpgates tech being affected by distance to the nexus but it got closed and not moved which made me sad  , but I didn't get a warning which I guess is ok ... | ||

If you are afraid of being banned then that is probably a good sign that you should just lurk. If you joined a year ago, have 1k+ posts and a bunch of bans, I would suggest you ask yourself exactly how positive your contribution has been, what sort of quality your posts have, and whether it would be best if you just lurked. | ||

They allow such things to happen, because they mainly care about ad revenue. That's how the internet works. Quality's advocates are suppressed by quantity. | ||

1. Idra loss This tends to spark a thread with many Idra fans posting...rather crude things, whether its racist slurs agains the opponnent or simply bad posts that are infuriating to read (Btw im not blaming Idra for this, he just attracts a specific fanbase that seems to come from 4chan of all places) 2. Zerg loss This tends to spark various "___ is imba, Zerg cant do anything" this is now a tradition it seems and it always ends up in a balance discussion where it is easy to get carried away. 3. Religion/Politics This never ends well, no matter how well meaning people are a thread will always end up in a flame fest. 4. Meme's Dont post em (i did, got warned and learned my lesson) | ||

Well it wasn't only that, it was more that I just enjoyed reading all the write-ups and finding links to games and didn't really look to get involved in the discussions especially since I didn't play BW myself. But still, TL can be a little bit intimidating (actually it's a LOT less intimidating these days than it used to be), which is a good thing at the end of the day. | ||

Meme's Dont post em (i did, got warned and learned my lesson) I would add to this: Don't post when toss wins, because garunteed 2-3 people will be banned because they say imba forcefeilds, or wtf is X race supposed to do. Don't go against the mods, because they will ban for something you say that they don't agree with. And the classic, "i dont care if im gonna get banned" | ||

For first time offences you have warnings, keep doing the same thing again and you get banned. Never saw anyone getting banned where the reason wasn't obvious. Whenever I see a forum proclaiming proudly 'people that have been banned have been banned for a reason' I just twitch, it's overconfidence of a mod team's own abilities. People will make mistakes, misread, and moderators will ban people due to misinterpreting their point in some way, that's inevitable and it will always continue to happen. | ||

Well, you can always see the reason for the ban under the ban list forum, and 99.9% of the time they make sense. The only people who get banned are the newbies who says "i hope i dont get banned for this" not knowing saying that earn them automatically a temp ban. | ||
