I've certainly been to sites with far worse mods. I'd say for the most part they are fair, there's been mod rage and feuds sometimes but I haven't seen much lately.
I used to be just like you, then I took a sweetroll to the knee.

Never been banned. I think I try to keep my mouth shut when I'm mad.

Pretty much that. I got temp banned for balance issues lol. Also if I wanted a serious, civilized conversation, i would go drink coffee/tea and talk philosophy with some old guys.

Don't make stupid posts and you'll be alright for awhile. Don't get mad at moderators and you'll be alright forever. Sometimes moderators will do really provocative, unprofessional things that will make you want to tell them off. Resist that temptation and there's nothing to fear.

I used to think SomethingAwful might be even more strict, but really the great guidelines they have are not that enforced. TL has the best moderation of any site I've been to, and they do it without charging you money. You're not going to find a better forum than TL, in terms of moderation and motivated staff. TL makes some mistakes and not all the mods are great, but when you try other forums you come to see just how much more active TL is, and how much more on top of things the mods are.

The grass is not greener anywhere else, trust me.

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 .


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




I understand that,but getting banned is like getting defeated before u have a chance to fight.
Keep your energy,there will be other battles .

You know what they say,it's they're forum and they make they're own rules.

If u want to adress some foul words to someone,just use the way Idra used it once to reply to someone.Make your snide remark as crafty and subtle (while being sarcastic at the same time) as possible while refraining from harsh words.

It works sometimes .Just remember keeping a nice tone,even if u want to break the guy who threatened your ego .
The glory of the Elder Days and the hosts of Beleriand, so many great princes and captains were assembled. And yet not so many, nor so fair, as when Thangorodrim was broken, and the Elves deemed that evil was ended for ever, and it was not so!

If you are afraid of being banned for post, don't post it? problem solved. I believe one of the forum rules is use your noggin.

TL is pretty fair, a bit overzealous on certain things, but it's because those things have been repeated so many times in their history that they've kind of gotten sick of them.

If you want one where you live under fear of the banhammer, try going to EJ, those mods can get downright crazy with their liberal interpretations of their rules sometimes.

I think it has been repeatedly stated that you won't be permanently banned for something that you yourself won't know is highly inappropriate. If you're surprised by a permanent ban, chances are 1) you're "retarded" 2) you just don't belong here with the rest of us.

I don't make posts that jeopardize my account.
No, I don't worry. I suggest everyone do that.

In my opinion, if you are worried about being banned, you probably deserve it.

Yeah, well one of my friends doesn't even come on the site anymore because "The mods are full of themselves and Chill in an Ass"

I try to explain to him that posting a stupid idea for a 2v2 strategy with a minimal OP and having it closed by Chill doesn't make him an ass. He is too stubborn though. Oh well.

Btw, I think Chill is awesome, second only to Kennigit.

Edit: And if you are reading this troy, Yes, you are stubborn as hell.

If TL was League of Legends, then Chill would be Teemo - he's tiny, he's super cute, but you really gotta watch your step when you're around him.

I've never been worried about being banned. I've had one warning in over a year of membership, and that was for a one-liner in the strategy forum before it became so heavily moderated. Even as someone who gets a lot of posts arguing in the general forum, as long as you refrain from personal attacks you have nothing to worry about.

One thing I do a lot, is after writing a post I read it and think 'does this contribute anything?' And probably half the time I decide it doesn't and just move on. I find this keeps my posts per day pretty low and probably my ban/warning count, too.

I misread the title as 'Fear of Baneling' and thought 'This will be a good topic'

Boy was a wrong

Anyway am not really worried about being banned because this community and it's mods are more than competent in seeing the difference between a troll and a genuine poster.

I have been warned twice. Bother of which were when I gave *harsh* one line opinions on a thread that asks "which is better" kinda thing.

As long as you say something contributing you should be fine. Anything that like 3 words is usually a warning // temp ban.

It seems like your a perfect example of why TL needs // wants a strict community.

Dont post like a retard / troll (you can troll but make it hard to recognize).
Respect everyone: people on this site, progamers, commentators, everyone.
Dont be a dick (kinda included in 1+2)

Happy TL life. You can criticize everyone for (almost) everything if you do so in a respectful way.
And it's pretty easy to recognize topics which should be "joke free" (Japan disaster, WeRRa incident, ..).

Overall: you have common sense. Use it.

I have the constant fear to get banned, I do not have a warning yet though. The thing is that my english is bad for I make spelling blunders and have a stupid style probably. When I think, that I can not express my thoughts right, I fear I will get banned for it. Like a phobia its maybe a baseless fear.

It is the fear to belie the expectations of this very humble site, this community you want to be part of but are hindered by language.

I've been banned once and warned a couple of times, but I don't mind. I can't say that I disagree with any bans/warnings I've had either. I do prefer to speak my mind but I also try to respect other posters and the guidelines and not go on an all-out trolling spree, so I doubt I'll ever get perma-ban or such.

Things like common courtesy and common sense go a long way, its not any more complicated than that. I'm no more hesitant to post here than any other forum on the internet.
