Never been afraid because I think before posting anything. Simple and effective.

One good advice I can give you is to have in your mind the TL Ten Commandments when posting. With them you can never go wrong. ^^

got 1 warning so far, totally worth it though. i think its pretty hard to get banned, even if you break the rules from time to time if you think something just has to be said you will be fine. its just the people who have about 10 total posts, of which 5 involve some nazi reference that tend to make up most of the banned list

It's so easy to get banned or warned but it's even easier to not get banned. All you have to do is a) keep the dumb 4chan memes off the forum, b) don't post image macros, c) don't flame or insult people especially if it's baseless, because arguments can always be presented in a rational manner and justified, and d) put actual effort into posts that contribute to the discussion or inform a user.

And of course, don't martyr yourself, because that's just dumb. If you think you're going to get banned for something, the one way to guarantee it is to say that in your post.

Pretty much this. As long as you follow the rules you shouldn't have anything to be worried about haha... I hope. Don't really post much, but when I do it's usually okay.

I type out lots of posts, I very rarely click "Post" afterwards. I've been warned twice, once by Manifesto simply because he didn't agree with my opinion when I was trying to help someone with their decision to purchase a laptop. Now I see why IdrA doesn't get along with the guy.

I have been warned 2 times. Once because I said something about the balance of a unit, the other I said something about a zerg stop crying. Now I just got a warning for having "Lessons" in my stream. I really hope that others got warned also. Even the featured ones, I checked some of the streams and I dont see any lessons on anyones so I hope it was for everyone. :D
I dont post enough to be scared of being banned. I just read what other says.

Been banned a few times over the last 8+ years. We used to just have Rek get on drunk and ban a few dozens every other weekend it seems. Now it's just a million warnings and tempt bans.

I've been banned once, for two threads about Day9 in the Shortys. Coming from The Flood in the Bungie Forums (which I still frequent), I didn't know better, but it was a totally fair ban, those threads didn't encourage discussion, and were pretty much spam. I DO wish, however, that there was a BIG popup if you have been warned, I was warned on the Bungie Forums for a thread I made a month earlier, and the only popup on TL I've seen (which is admittedly not a lot of experience) is when it was too late and I was already banned.

I feel really bad of having this blemish on my profile, but now it will prevent me from making anymore bad posts!

What happens when you get a warning anyways? Do you get a pm with an explanation?

The first thing to remember,regarding not getting banned is not saying everything that is on your mind.
If u don't like someone, try not to post your opinion on them if it's highly negative.

Even if that makes me sound kind of false,doesn't matter.


So as others have said,try to be nice or at least pretend to be nice .

Yes. You get a pm and also a record of it is added to your account. Staff can see what you have been warned for in the past.

Can you please elaborate more on MARTYR'ing thing, so I don't sound like a baseless argument idiot when talking about this?

But this is the forums, where I should be able to express how I feel about someones comment, even if its a mean mean mean thing to say.. I am trying to stab that person in the heart or make him cry.. THIS IS THE POINT OF THE INTERNET U DUMB MUTHA.. lol JK but I think you get my point. Everyone has such a different personality that some ppl need to be banned when they say that, but others are really making a great argument and get banned for no reason. Those are the ones we need to fix. :D

In Canada we don't have complete free speech laws and I prefer it that way; hate speech of any kind is strictly illegal, on a criminal level. I like that some forums act the same way. Of course things like slander and the like are "illegal" too, but they aren't criminal.

I've decided to put together some charts for everybody. These are based off of my own observations and should be taken with a grain of salt.

[image loading]

First up, the "What you post" chart. As you can see, it's quite easy to get banned. As you can also see, there are conflicting points. For instance, memes (in image form) and image macros are totally acceptable, in fact they are required, in the image thread, while elsewhere you will get banned for them. There's also the obvious martyring and flaming and such as well.


[image loading]

Next up is the "Where you post" chart. This is a combination of forums, thread types, and even a specific thread. Obviously, if you've got a thread in the closed forum, you've got a good chance at being banned as well. SC2 Strategy is easily the easiest place to get banned. Even looking at it wrong can get you a warning.


[image loading]

And finally, the "Post count" chart. This one should be self explanatory. Newer people stand a decent chance at being banned, what with TL being so much different from the rest of the internet. Although, the longer you're here (ie: more posts) the more you get to know how TL works your chance goes down a bit until right around 1000 posts where you're like "pffft fuck that I'll only get warned for this, I have a thousand posts!" and then you get banned and you're like OKAY and you really do clean up and become a decent member of society. Then you hit 10000 posts and there's 1 of 3 things that happens.
1. You're fana, in which case you're gone
2. You're suddenly expected to act like some kind of example and even a simple typo gets you 30 days
4. What happened to 3?

Finally, there's what I call the iNcontroL Point. While technically not a number, if you can manage to attain a post count of iNcontroL you can literally do whatever you want and not even Zeus would be able to ban you. To date, this has only been acheived by iNcontroL, despite konadora's best attempts.
