Very immature posts, and I've since learned my lesson. It's not that hard to be smart about it. The moderators are definitely fair. But whenever I get a PM, I definitely get worried for just a second... until I open it and realize it's not another warning  Phew! | ||

Martyring is when you say "I'll (probably) get banned for this..." or "Ban me, I don't care" etc somewhere in your post (oh god don't ban me!). Numerous mods have said as soon as they see those words they stop reading and just ban the person. | ||

I think the mods do an excellent job of sorting out what is ban-worthy and what is not. As long as you think about what you're saying, even if your opinion isn't popular, you won't get banned | ||

When I make snipy or condescending posts at someone who I think deserves it, I don't worry about getting banned, because: 1) I'm not a a total asshat who types in caps or calls people fags 2) my overall post history shows an honest effort at being a good member of TL society. In my entire time here I've gotten 1 warning for calling someone a troll. | ||

I've been on the edge of posting some really inflammatory things before, but I thought, "Is it really worth it to tell some idiot off in the face of being banned from such a great community?" Of course not. Think before you post, and you won't get banned. If you're afraid of being banned, even though you feel you're a good poster, then you're just being unnecessarily paranoid. The mods (for the most part) are not assholes, and ban people within reason. That being said, I actually feel they should be harsher, but I'm also a no-nonsense type of person. | ||

As long as you're not a total asshat, you don't have anything to worry about. The mods seem to take a user's entire post history into account when making decisions, which I think is a solid move.

For some of us who came from the world of Counter-Strike (for example, me), it was a long, hard journey before I was able to make quality posts. Yes, common sense dictates that nobody should have any problem sticking around and having fun. But if common sense were really so common we wouldn't have the Automated Ban List. | ||

I think the mods do an excellent job of sorting out what is ban-worthy and what is not. As long as you think about what you're saying, even if your opinion isn't popular, you won't get banned I think it is more about when you aren't certain. It might be relevant. It might not. Does your fear of a warning/ban mean you don't post that? In my case it means I won't post it, so I am afraid. ^^ | ||

If anything, the mods are more lenient now. Lots of banworthy posts in the past would simply just be warned nowadays. | ||
