When I do hastily reply without really thinking about whether or not my post could be constructive and useful to the discussion, I do fear that it might lead to a warning or something worse. But I think it's a good thing, and we should all fear the ban hammer so that we don't post whatever random crap that might come into our heads  | ||

I mainly hang out in the strategy forum and am always surprised to see the amount of re-posts when you could just use the little search box in the upper right hand corner to find what you need. Anyway, there is a whole thread dedicated for you to read the rules... stick with the rules and be worry free. | ||

If you ever been to GameFaqs forums you would know what happens when the place loosens their moderation, go into any board and there is so much flaming, whining and 4chan meme spewing garbage in there that the place is basically the cesspool for gamers there. Compare them to Neogaf who is also very strict and you actually find people who love videogames and love talking about them, go to Gamefaqs - Next Gen Gaming and you will find nothing but joke threads such as "lol PSN is down, Nintendo wins again GPs <_<" and other nonesense that is neither funny nor interesting. Their humor tends to be like M$, as in Microsoft, get it cause they have moneyz! Lulz right? Dear god no its not funny. If you havent been to those, at least most of you have seen what lousy moderation does to forums, all the good posters leave and all that is left is feces flinging shit at each other. So for that reason, be happy that SC has a site where fans gather. LR threads are great filter since they have a tendency to really expose people who do not belong here, anytime Idra loses i swear 20 people minimum get a perma ban, they simply never belonged here. | ||

In more than 6 years, I have not been warned or banned. Reading the ban list is quite fun, though :p | ||

this is coming from someone have been on alot of forums since late 1999(ye, i was the only kid in the class who used his pocket money to get a 56k modem), and myself have been some mods/admins too. Please note i have no hate or offense towards TL, i completely respect your rules and i did agree on the rules when i sign up on TL. i will write down some thoughts here regarding OP, please dont take them offensively. and if you do, please pm me so i can delete this immediately, i meant no harm/offense to TL at all.1.On TL, you dont always get banned when you troll, but you get banned when say something 'wrong'. if mod thinks that you are 'wrong', you get banned straight away. >In general forum: the mod discuss/debates with you til the end of world. one person will get owned in the end. but it doesnt matter who win in the end, if the debate is good and both persons are mature, they will enjoy and respect each other's opinion and thus a good relationship between these posters will grow. 2.TL mods try to educate posters, or not? this is a fair act by mods but go read The Automated Banned thread you will see something like 'Reason: You're an asshole.'. This is confusing, so the poster get banned for being BM and that gives the mod the right to BM him back? and people get warned/banned for posting 1 liner even if their posts are completely innocent, and sometimes the 1 liner actually is all he needs to express his opinion. and sometimes if your post is 'not up to the TL quality'(this is depends on the mod, i found that different mods have different 'standards'), you get warned/banned too. >In general forum: Same, BM is not tolerated, either it is from mod or any poster. insulting words like f*ck, f*ggot etc are censored by the system and some forum dont allow you post when you have less than 15 words etc ie preventing uesless 1 liner post. 3.The TL's mods judge the poster, harshly. their thinking is simple: ' If you aren't going to add value to the website or contribute then perhaps you shouldn't post it.' ie 'if you only talk useless shit here, please gtfo/we love people who type 2 pages wall of text.' >In general forum: we value our members, these members build up our forum. and we know it deep down, we were once noobs/newbies too, we posted some stupid post/thread too. we cant expect people come here and post a 5k words guide/analysis with their first post. good posters take time to grow. especially gaming websites tend to attract alot of young kids, nurture them, not hit them with ban hammer, harshly. i pity those kids get perm banned just because they did some bad posts (and they have less than a total of 100posts). i dont feel like to quote more but if people can read The Automated Banned thread thread http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=32696, you can find alot of funny warns/bans. Overall i am fine with the current TL once i realised that this is TL's sc2 forum, not 'just another sc2 forum on internet'. (and i hope the mods see this post as i am contributing to the forum, whether my points are bad/good/wrong/right, i wrote this text of wall for TL) | ||

Every single time, with no exception, that I've seen someone question or dispute a particular ban in the ban list, one or several mods have always stepped up with a good explanation describing all the surrounding circumstances. But what you say is essentially right, this is their forum and they do with it as they please. The reason so many people like to stick around is because the end result differs from those "general forums" you mention, I think in a very much so positive way. | ||

Chill's a dick, or has been to me before. But he's not unfair as far as I can tell. The others, I have no experience with. | ||

my second ban came from making a 3v3 starcraft thread in the brood war boards i got my first warning 6 months later, can't find the thread but apparently i posted something in the SFW thread which makes it messy i recently got a warning not using appropriate english including spelling out "you" and "you're" properly when i used "u" once in the whole post, inappropriate grammar and spelling and not making my post readable. but with the exception of capitalization, try to fault my english | ||
