Don't post stupid shit, don't post offensive shit, don't post 1 liners nor "witty" memes. Is that really so hard to follow? O_0 | ||

You will be liked if you: 1) post like you have some common sense 2) don't flame other people / troll 3) don't post +1 with no actual message 4) don't say "first" 5) don't post dumb pictures that take up the whole page. This isn't 4chan Just 5 quick examples that will keep you from getting warnings/bans. If you get warned/banned 99.9% of the chance you deserved it. | ||

Back in the days, i'd often write a long-ass post and decide to just not post it because it didn't add anything of value to the discussion. I feel like fewer people do that now. Done that several times lately in fact. Just before I post a 1000 word essay throwing myself into a heated argument, I stop to think "Is this really worth it?". And then delete the whole thing. I think the mods are doing a great job. Lets not turn this site into The Escapist. The forums there are bombarded by stupid. | ||

But I got banned like 4 times. X_X It shows that what you've written isn't enough. | ||

Something else that gets a lot of people is martyring. There are actually quite a few instances of people posting something that wouldn't be actionable, but for some reason they feel compelled to add on some variant of "feel free to ban me for this" or "I know I'll get banned for this." You can bet we take you up on that. | ||

Well one of your bans is there for accusing GOM/Blizzard of lying right after a mod posted in huge red letters to please post rationaly, a blanket accusation of "they are lying" does not costitute rational and thus is a violation of 1. Oh and the other post calling blizzard "shit" probably constitutes either flaming or trolling. I do think saying "stork die pls" is a violation of 2 and probably 1, I mean wishing death on someone for playing protoss seems harsh, every other one of your posts that has a ban is due to balance whine about either z being underpowered or p being too easy. Perhaps a point 6 needs to be added, "don't whine about balance", here I'll add it 6) Dont whine about balance happy? ^_^ | ||

But I got banned like 4 times. X_X It shows that what you've written isn't enough. Actually, you did do 2 of these 5 things... specifically #1 and #2. Let's review your history... 1st ban - You were martyring "you can warn/ban me for this" 1st warning - Flaming Blizzard. Not constructively of course, more like "GO TO HELL BLIZZARD" 2nd ban - Since you didn't heed warning #1 and kept on going, you were banned for not heeding the warning (no common sense). 3rd ban - Flaming and no common sense in 1! You complain about balance (for SC1 much less haha) in a live report thread, and say quote "Stork die pls." 2nd warning - quoting you exactly: "fuck these terran drops go to hell pls" 4th ban - again, no common sense, whining about balance in a live report thread: "how shitty P really needs to play to lose anyway? it seems that with any level of shitness they always have a chance wtf..." 5th ban - Complaining, AGAIN IN A LIVE REPORT THREAD WHERE YOU HAVE MULTIPLE BANS ALREADY, about balance. This time, about ZvZ (yes, you complained about the balance of a mirror matchup) in a brood war live report thread. Seeing any patterns yet??? | ||

O_O Evilteletubby laying down the law! :D Actually quite funny to read this...embarrassingly enough >\\\< I have been guilty of shine-bashing with an image macro :"D almost all of us slip up, and it really is quite hard to get banned unless one posts with a clear lack of common sense (etc., etc.). | ||

With 2 of your 3 bans coming from me, I'm guessing I know where this is being directed.  Anywho, you flatter yourself a bit too much if you think I don't like you. Honestly, I don't dislike you or even really put that much thought into you as a poster. I did, however, notice your uncanny ability to completely derail discussion/debate threads. That's exactly what your first ban from me was for (a mere 2 days), and only a month later, you did the SAME THING again and received a 1 week ban. I truly don't care if you continue to post or not, even in debate threads. If you want to, fine. If you get very spirited in the process, great. However, that does not excuse you from still being respectful to other posters on this website. When you get so heated that you're throwing personal insults at other posters, can we agree it's time to take a break? | ||
