Hint: I'm talking about you. Should I make the 'connection' that your searched us all but I was the only person you could pick dirt on? This entire thread is filled with people who have been some-what observant of a loose banhammer. I will also make the connection that your "observations" are actually based on yourself, not on others. We will NEVER ban someone for simply "being wrong" (or what we perceive as being wrong) in an argument. In fact, I know there are plenty of times I've banned someone who I ever agreed with, in terms of the content they were trying to present. Of course you have, and you should, I've seen a case of someone being banned for saying you should defend a (non +1) 4gate with mass lings and +1 carapace. Definitely wrong as the +1 carapace makes no difference and that person was banned for being wrong.There have been cases here of people banned for simply stating nonsense. However, no one is banned for the argument they were trying to make. They get banned for their attitude, their delivery, their offensive/aggressive nature, etc. etc. You can be right all you want, but if you have the attitude "I'm RIGHT and you guys are fucking idiots, stfu", then guess what? You're getting banned. The person I spoke off above had no attitude whatsoever, he just said it in one sentence and got banned for saying nonsense.Also, do you honestly hold yourself in such regard that you are able to flawlessly perceive this 'attitude' through the plain text on a forum? Which was more or less the thing I spoke off. 1st warning - created a new topic for something there were MANY existing topics on. Content irrelevant. I did a search on 'Sentry first' and found no topic about it.2nd warning - Bring up an argument in a thread were it was unrelated, thus derailing that topic. The mod even recommended creating a new topic on it. Again, content irrelevant. I don't see how discussing the validity and reliability of Myers Briggs is unrelated to a topic ABOUT Myers-Briggs?Interestingly enough, the warning note said that it was comprehensive and the kind of posting that they wanted to encourage, just off topic. I honestly don't see the off-topic part about discussing the validity of the system in a thread that hopes to use that system to gather some meaningful perspective. 1st ban - Insulting post directed at a specific contributing and long time member of the community. Content irrelevant. Insulting?I said I agreed with him but felt that it was not the way to show it, I never used any offensive language or anything like that. 2nd ban - Sarcastic/smart reply in a thread. Content irrelevant. No, it wasn't 'sarcastic' at all or 'trolling' as the mod called it. Admittedly it was in Finnish in a Finnish threat but it was quite all quite serious. I basically said in Finnish 'I signed up, because I find interesting the quirks if Finnish culture' and then proceeded to mention something about suicide rates, which I think is interesting from a cultural perspective which some people perceive as trolling apparently.See a trend here? None of the disciplinary action has ANYTHING to do with how "right or wrong" you were. Why? Because it doesn't matter. As far as this forum: going through the automated ban list:And if you try to claim that your vague generalizations are NOT about you, please by all means, link me to some examples. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=32696¤tpage=623#12465 Is this really ban worthy? He does have pretty big hands? There isn't a solid indication that it was meant in an insulting way. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=32696¤tpage=623#12480 There were 2 500 people saying similar things, so why does this poor one get singled out? http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=32696¤tpage=622#12458 What exactly is 'ignorant' about this? It's an opinion, if he praised Day[9] with the same staunch self-conviction no one would care methinks. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=32696¤tpage=622#12460 Come one, again, an opinion, really, can't people post that someone has lost their respect, he isn't even being self-righteous here. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=32696¤tpage=616#12325 This one seems especially suspicious. I'm just saying, a lot of people do seem to get the hurt a lot for just speaking their mind about respected people. Not really the stuff I would find ban-worthy, of course, there are a lot of cases in the ban thread that is warranted, but really, the last one is pretty far off I'd say, especially the reason. And yes, I do get into conflict with establishments at quite a few case and like to argue technicalia to the point that a lot of people find that I argue for the sake of arguing minutiae. But that's not the core of my point, the core of my point is that it's very hard to read 'attitude' through simple text on a forum and it's thus a though and very subjective criterion to ban people on. Also, it's only human to read an 'arrogant attitude' when you simply don't agree with someone. Take HuK some people say his attitude his arrogant, other people say he's really friendly. 'Attitude' seems to be a pretty subjective quality that is in the eye of the beholder. | ||

'Attitude' seems to be a pretty subjective quality that is in the eye of the beholder. I really think you need to sit back and relax. The examples you give of what I can only assume is a "power hungry mod named evilteletubby" are poor at best. Anyone who has been on this forum for a while can look at all the examples you gave and objectively say that in the context they were made they were all way out of line with the rules of Teamliquid. Especially ones referencing community figureheads since you know respecting your elders and those who have put time into the community is pretty high up on the TL commandment list. Singling out Teletubby for his moderation work that keeps these forums from being a Terrible terrible sh**show is pretty low IMO as well and further works against your position that the moderation on this site is strict. TL has always been known as a strict forum where rules are upheld and a certain decorum of respect has been gained as a result. I feel you need to take a step back and remove yourself from the situation before you get yourself in more trouble or perhaps visit another website/forum about SC2 if you feel so strongly that the moderation here is unfair in any particular or specific way.

I didn't really understand why, sent a PM and never got an answer. I think I will refrain myself from posting entirely, mostly because I think the mods are innefective in some ways. I feel like Fan Clubs are rarely, if ever, moderated. Idra's, for example, should be renamed "Idra's HATE club". I liked to post there, but I haven't in some time because it is all hate there. I feel like the strategy section could be improved a lot, still. With closing threads. I myself was responsible for one closed thread, but never again posted a thread because I understood that it should be for higher level people. And rarely comment, unless I have something to say on topic, although sometimes I fall for some troll-bait threads, but who doesn't? I feel like this is going to be one of my last posts here, maybe I will announce my games casting in the near future, since I'm setting this up and I think it would be good for the community to have a portuguese language caster and all, but the fear of posting is now deeply engraved into my skull. As a matter of fact I'm thinking right now if complaining about being banned is something that warrants another ban, or critizing in any way the staff is a bannable offense. But I don't think I care anymore if I get banned, specially since I was banned without ever receiving a warning in the first place... EDIT: Just some other note, I think that there are FAR more cases of NOT banned when needed than BANNED when not needed. My case I think was unwarranted, the other poster above even agreed it was, but I will not complain anymore | ||

"I'm glad MC took the title in this fashion. It will open Blizzard's eye on how to balance the game..." For two weeks. I didn't check teamliquid after that. It's ridiculous that 100+ people get banned for a game final thread. It's suppose to be controversial. It's suppose to be hyped. If you look at any other sports, the same thing happen. People talk about the big match for weeks, and most of the time its controversial. It's part of game spirit, and to ban someone because of something so insignificant is absurd and degrades the community. A warning would have made more sense, or even 1 day ban was even okay. Its a fricken finals thread, what the hell. After the big day, the hype will be decrease and people will post more sensible. This 80 of the 100 people will probably be less active on teamliquid more or less quit the entire thing. Good thing for teamliquid its practically the only website that gives quick news and actually have people posting in them. I have been just following gomTV and looking at playXP/fomos to try to decipher the korean, so its not so bad. This kind of regulation will always tell me to stay away from posting and not pay attention to anything related to teamliquid( i like jinro tho XD). | ||

This in the middle of the MLG day 1 thread where the mods were already pissed as hell at all the QQing. Also its just a two day ban, get over it, if you really post as well as you claim (and in your post history I found mostly one liners), then you'll never have to worry about the mods "injustly" banning you again. Bottom line, good constructive criticizing of the mods and/or debate with them will not get you banned. Martyr posts like yours where "I got banned *once* in six years and this causes me to feel terror at posting and I may never post again" might. Generally I've found the mods to be approachable, you can just shoot them a PM and they are more than willing to talk it out with you, assuming they aren't insanely occupied (like say in the middle of the MLG Dallas day2 LR thread) EDIT: in reply to your edit, there is this lovely report button you have access to that can be used to summon a mod to get people who are posting stupid shit banned, its really handy, next time you see a post you think needs to be banned then click it and explain why the post is stupid.

I do believe that was the finals thread with the huge red text on top saying "any balance whine will receive a two week ban"? I'm glad the mods did that, its a LIVE REPORT thread, you know the resource where us poor sods who dont have access to gom player at the time can try to follow along. Its ok to cheer for your player, its better to post what is actually happening, its shameful to post balance whine. For me its a pain to have to read through 50 pages of "ff so imba" and "nerf protoss, zerg UP" while trying to piece what the hell happened because I can't get gom player to work on my computer. I dont see how punishing balance whine "degrades the community" and Im honestly pissed at all you people who insist that they are leaving or dont care as much on account of a single stupid ban, which was well deserved. | ||

I don't know WHY I got banned for it. It is my opinion, I am NOT forced to respect Select for that build, and I am allowed to think it is Bullshit. I may not call it balanced or imbalanced, which I didn't. I may not call Select names, which I didn't. I didn't really understand. And if I was banned because "This in the middle of the MLG day 1 thread where the mods were already pissed as hell at all the QQing." then, it is not a good reason to ban someone. I didn't say my posts were awesome and everyone should bow down to my perfect knowledge of the game. Most of my recent posts are one liners because they were from cheering over the GSL WC, which I think is fine (Since even mods do that often). I won't answer to anyone else that quotes me and tries to call me out, like you did. Because it is pretty obvious I know which post got me banned and you're just trying to insult my intelligence, but I will not answer in the same fashion. | ||

Definitely wrong as the +1 carapace makes no difference and that person was banned for being wrong. There have been cases here of people banned for simply stating nonsense. There is a difference of "simply stating nonsense" and being wrong. For example, if someone were to say you could support 4gate 1robo on one base, that's wrong. If someone were to say you can support 7gate 3robo on one base, then that's just being nonsensical. If you look at people who "simply state nonsense" that have all of one or two posts, you have to ask yourself, "is this really the type of person I want on my forum"? If they have more, then they have a history of "simply stating nonsense". BTW, you wanna link us to the post that got banned for that? http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=32696¤tpage=623#12465 Is this really ban worthy? He does have pretty big hands? There isn't a solid indication that it was meant in an insulting way. How is this NOT supposed to be meant in an insulting way. And even if it wasn't, with the amount of inC hate going around, the poster should have been smart enough to know not to say that. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=32696¤tpage=623#12480 There were 2 500 people saying similar things, so why does this poor one get singled out? Jibba said it best. Replied to a post that had already been warned. My post count calls me a newbie, but even I know that you don't reply to a post that has been warned or banned. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=32696¤tpage=622#12458 What exactly is 'ignorant' about this? It's an opinion, if he praised Day[9] with the same staunch self-conviction no one would care methinks. The "ignorant" part about this is him saying that Day9 gives no respect to his partner. If the poster watched any of his dailies or listened to SotG, the poster would know that Day9 does very much respect his partners. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=32696¤tpage=622#12460 Come one, again, an opinion, really, can't people post that someone has lost their respect, he isn't even being self-righteous here. If someone is gonna hate on a respected member of the community, they better have some damn good reasons why. This post doesn't do it, it just says that "x hates x" http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=32696¤tpage=616#12325 This one seems especially suspicious. This post is a perfect example for something that would start an unnecessary argument. Wanna give some GOOD examples of people just stating nonsense and being banned for it? In response to OP, I'm always scared of doing something wrong, lol. Even with this post, I'm wondering if I did something wrong. | ||

But it was just an example of someone being banned for being wrong, and like I said, I agreed in this case, I was just contesting that people don't get banned for being wrong. How is this NOT supposed to be meant in an insulting way. This is more or less what I talk about when I say that people ban based on interpretation, you can't really know for sure if this is meant as an insult. Edit: To the cultural thing I outlined before again, In South Korean culture is it apparently not at all offensive to comment that people need to lose some weight, people don't take offence when you tell them apparently. What if a South Korean posted, ignorant of the fact that in American culture this is considered offensive just said 'Woohh, iNcontrol needs to lose some weight.', he could get banned while he meant nothing with it. And even if it wasn't, with the amount of inC hate going around, the poster should have been smart enough to know not to say that. Maybe, but that is essentially punishing people for not taking into account that people have prejudices... it's banning people for giving other people the benefit of the doubt that they don't read stuff that wasn't meant.http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=32696¤tpage=623#12480 There were 2 500 people saying similar things, so why does this poor one get singled out?

My post count calls me a newbie, but even I know that you don't reply to a post that has been warned or banned.[/quote]I actually linked to the post below that, it just doesn't show well because it can't scroll down further. The "ignorant" part about this is him saying that Day9 gives no respect to his partner. If the poster watched any of his dailies or listened to SotG, the poster would know that Day9 does very much respect his partners. Maybe he just feels after he watched it that Day[9] doesn't respect his partners? Like I said, attitude is in the eye of the beholder. If someone is gonna hate on a respected member of the community, they better have some damn good reasons why. This post doesn't do it, it just says that "x hates x" That's essentially what I'm saying above. The difference is that you think this is a good thing, whereas I think it's a bad thing.I don't know, I think this social construct that people have everywhere that you need to give arguments when you disagree with the masses but not when you agree is a bit silly. This post is a perfect example for something that would start an unnecessary argument. Nonetheless, it's a reasonable position.Wanna give some GOOD examples of people just stating nonsense and being banned for it? I never said these were examples of people being banned for saying nonsense.Like I said, I agree that people should be banned for saying nonsense, I was just giving examples of people giving rather innocent remarks and opinions which aren't really popular and get banned for it. EvilTeletubby said that people aren't banned for their opinions as much as the attitude by which they bring it, I don't see a lot of attitude in a lot of those posts, just people who come with unpopular opinions a lot. And like I said before, attitude is in the eye of the beholder. Chance has it that one of the guys in singled out in the examples has posted in this thread and he seems a bit shocked by the fact that he got banned over a remark he never meant in a rude or attitudeful way. | ||

The MLG thread from today was over 900 pages. It is very easy to miss stuff while going through these threads if post is not reported. If you see something that you think was missed then report post or PM mod if you don't have access to report posts yet. In addition, the poster already has an awful history of just shitting/trashing on people. (doesn't even ever back himself up so they are just trashy one-liners) Of course, people are going to be upset over the issues that MLG had but what right does that give to just mindlessly bash people especially heroes like Day and Wheat who really saved the day by making it entertaining to watch even when games weren't on. They spent so much time filling in what otherwise would have dead time and had no control or power over what was going on. How does that entitle the poster to call Wheat "retarded" and "speaking shit" all day? | ||

The MLG thread from today was over 900 pages. It is very easy to miss stuff while going through these threads if post is not reported. If you see something that you think was missed then report post or PM mod if you don't have access to report posts yet. In addition, the poster already has an awful history of just shitting/trashing on people. (doesn't even ever back himself up so they are just trashy one-liners) Of course, people are going to be upset over the issues that MLG had but what right does that give to just mindlessly bash people especially heroes like Day and Wheat who really saved the day by making it entertaining to watch even when games weren't on. They spent so much time filling in what otherwise would have dead time and had no control or power over what was going on. How does that entitle the poster to call Wheat "retarded" and "speaking shit" all day? While Wheat was definitely 'bashed', the other gave a reasonable personal opinion about Day[9]. He just said he 'personally' found that Day[9] didn't gave full respect to his partner. That's not really ignorance as much as having a different opinion. He also didn't give it with any 'attitude'.Again, I'm just presenting examples to back up my claim that people aren't per se banned for their 'attitude' all the time but because they have some nonstandard opinions yet still present them in a civilized way. I honestly don't know how he could have offered his albeit negative opinion of Day[9] in a more civilized manner, do you? | ||

Please understand that it's very likely while these LR threads to be going on for there to be many, many open reports. For example, there was 18 open reports at one time today. This makes it very hard to catch all the shit that goes on in LR threads with how fast they move while also dealing with however many reports are open at the time. It's also why we encourage the use of report/PMs as there are more eyes that can catch what is missed. | ||
