If you have read the TL 10 commandments, and post accordingly, why would you be in fear of a warn/ban?

It's actually quite surprising how many people get warned/banned in a day. Read before you post!

LOOOOOL

I think you have a serious fear of authority Mr. OP. So many people make shitty posts and don't get banned. The mods usually aren't harsh unless you go out of your way to piss one of them off. Just relax dude.

Sometimes when I see "This user was banned" on a post which was in place and not at all offensive it makes me cringe but it's not too often and if they ban me they ban me so meh, I don't worry about it.

I was little bit afraid when I registered first because this looked like super serious forum, every topic had warning or temp ban, but its okay.

maybe, but I'm also interested in authority in general-- on the one hand how power asymmetries in any society generally lead to marginalization of specific groups or groups of ideas (whether for good or bad-- on the one hand nobody wants TL to turn into 4chan, on the other hand and on a more serious note political philosophies that run counter to power are almost universally marginalized, which is not always productive for a society), but on the other hand how absolute parallels in power structures are very rarely feasible if not outright impossible.

don't read too far into the post though. =)

Have no fear Mr. OP, post away! The only time I've ever been banned is when I asked for it T_T. OH THE TORTUROUS DISNEY PAGE.

It always seems to me that the mods award effort, I see plenty of posts that are incorrect or straight wrong, but they're wrong in a respectful way and even those posts can add to a conversation.
When I post I try to be as respectful as possible, even if I'm not 100% confident in the material of the post it doesn't appear to be a problem.

Don't post too far into the topic.

I for one am very appreciative of the mods here at TL. They keep the forums very clean, and that makes me come back every single day for more.

Proof read your posts before clicking "post" and treat others with respect. Follow those two and you can't go wrong.

There's no such thing as a bad question, but poorly written and bad mannered questions are just asking to be deleted.

I used to be scared shitless of getting banned. I read over my posts 3-4 times, and prayed that some angry mod wasn't going to snipe me. Things turned out ok.

I had to think twice before posting this this thread lol. In general the mods here do an excellent job, but there will always be instances where a warning or ban was handed out unfairly, its like being a referee in football (soccer) you have to make a call right there and then, without the benefit of later analysis.

I am sure sometimes a mod bans someone without reading their whole post, becasue i've seen instances where someone has stated somewhere in their post that they "read the OP" and included their opinion on the matter and got banned/warned for "not reading the OP". This is just simply going to happen at times, especially in a thread that needs heavy moderation.

I got a warn and then a temp ban a while back, at the time I felt a little aggrieved, but later realised that i deserved the ban, even if i didn't feel I deserved the initial warning. Even then, the reason i got banned, funnily enough, for "not reading the OP", when i stated once in my initial post and then once in an edit after i got the warning that I had read the OP, which I had.

The warning was actually for saying out loud that I had no time or want to read a 40 page external blog, that i had infact learnt everything i needed to know about the subject by reading the OP and part of the blog in question. I thought the rules here are to read the OP and understand the subject, not read the entire linked subject matter, perhaps I was wrong. I felt I didn't deserve this warning and therefore edited my post to try to convey what i actually meant.

This was then taken by another mod as "a refusal to read the OP as warned to do by another mod" and I got a temp ban. While I should have just taken my warning and walked away, I thought I was explaining myself, perhaps I was snarky, I don't care to revisit the post to check, I deserved the ban for "arguing" with a mod, which you can argue (lol) is what i did. However the fact that my ban PM didn't say "don't talk back to a mod who has warned you" and instead was for not reading the OP, i felt like perhaps the mod hadn't actually read everything I had written, only part of it, and then had banned me without really stepping back and looking at the situation and instead just had a reaction to part of what i wrote and dropped the ban hammer.

Like I said, looking back, the ban was justified, even if I don't agree with the reason. You will often find this is the case when you look back at a warning or ban, you will see that you did infact deserve it. There will be cases of an impulse or visceral reaction by a mod that result in an un-justified ban, but they are few and far between. Plus when you have a site this big, you can't ask questions first and ban later, you have to make sure the bad guys know they will be banned without the mod giving it a second thought.

edit: I forgot to mention I was once on the end of a mistaken ban. I made a post to setup my stream and about a day later i got a ban for "Don't make a stream thread and then send me a PM" which I hadn't done. The ban was intended for someone else, and I obviously knew that, but ofc I couldn't PM back the mod or post to get the ban lifted. When it was lifted, I PM'd the mod just to say "btw you banned me by accident" and got a very nice PM back apologising.
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

Never been warned, never been banned. I'm always surprised how hard it is for people to remain warning and ban free. Simply read the 10 commandments, and be civilized in your discourse and you'll be fine.

I've never seen a ban that I felt was unjust. I generally only fear banning when discussing illegal file sharing, but that's it.
