I've been warned once, but never banned or tempbanned. Played nicer since.

If everyone got an immediate ban for crossing the line, then this site wouldn't have many users left.

the post that made you temp banned was NOT alike to "countless others" that go unpunished. the post you made was a horrendously stupid criticism of one of the most contributing posters on the entire webpage. kind of like telling mensrea that his report fucking sucked and that he should stop posting after he had just written a 10000 word long masterpiece newspost.

if that's the reason why you suddenly feel like making posts like these then whatever.

actually your entire criticism is way off. OF COURSE contributing members get more leeway. why the fuck wouldn't they. they contribute.. if we wanted a staff capable of deleting every "useless" post, not only would we have to define what makes a post useless, we'd also have to hire another 100 moderators, and then we'd have to respond to everyone who made a post we felt was useless but which they felt was useful.

a post like "haha" is not useless per definition, because it makes people who post funny stuff more likely to post more funny stuff in the future. and funny stuff is always considered a contribution, at least in my book.

everyone keeps posting them? post a link to a couple thousand torrents please

actually post 20 individual posts by 20 different posters all who have not been banned where they link to a torrent site. if everyone keeps posting them then that should be pretty fucking easy.

hell, just post 5 under the same criteria and i'll be impressed. but you should definitely be able to dig up 20 phrasing yourself like that.

I don't see why anyone would bother with a inet vendetta with someone you're likely ever gonna meet in person. Seems like a big waste of time. Also, most people don't talk/act the way they do on the internet, but are generally a lot more likeable. If so, this world would self-destruct in one day..

I was banned long ago, on another name. Cannot remember, was litterally like 5 years ago. I only had a few posts and i think most of them were random flames or defending some kind of accusation made against 88 or me, its in the past. Since than I have been temp banned one time. Stupidest fucking thing ever. Mensrea banned me because he thought i was being a smart ass in a Seahawks thread when i was being serious. Apparently he doesnt think highly of me, ah well.

As Eri said, some get more leeway. Such mentality is comparable anywhere. A good student will get away with more than the trouble maker, they contribute and they are OVERALL an extremely valuable asset to the production of the activity. Whereas a common detriment, such as a "bad student" or poster, simply continues a string of bad decisions = less sympathy and coincidentally less leeway.

I get away with drunken threads, random flames and occasional rants. That is more than some no-name or a known flamer would get. Pretty logical, ive earned some leeway whereas others have earned a shorter leash.

I got banned from this site when I was like 13 and had barely hit pubery, and all I did was try to be funny, but it came of like me being an idiot. It was probably a well deserved ban.

Now I'm back and I make posts that are legitimatly educated.

NEVER BEEN TOUCHED. One day I'm sure I'll get my own foot in mouth though.

Never even been warned. I contribute a little, but largely my posts are just in the void of not being bad but not being good.

woohoo, story time!!

OK so i was perma banned once ( on this account).......maybe 1 year ago?

Basically i try to long on one day and i realize that i can reply to msgs or post, extc. I finally check the ban log and find out it was Mensrea. Then i go to PM him and i see a pm from me to him which i didn't write. It was something along the lines of

FUCK U NIGGER JEW #@)#@@+)#(@)#@

pretty random stuff. The worst part was this happened right after he had warned me through PMs about a post a made in the strat forum that wasn't really helpful ( sarcrastic post, not that bad but at the time i only had about 500 posts:X ) So i guess someone logged on to my account at school or this cyber cafe i went too. I assumed I was an idiot one day and clicked remember password on one of the public comps. Whoever it was probably just saw the msg mensrea sent me and replied;o

Anyway....I pmed him a bit and explained the situation, he checked my past posts and since I had a pretty good record he just changed it to a 1 week ban:D So the lesson of the story is

ninjas love to steal your password when you aren't looking~_~

I've been coming this site for 1-2 years, every day(although I only log in when I'm going to post). Never been banned, or warned, but I don't post often.

Well, got banned cuz ppl apparently don't think Firebats should be allowed at all when vs hydra. I think I made another post like "Evan will go hybernate for another month" In which I think Mani intended to ban me for a month and then unban, but he never got over to unban me T_T
So then I made sorrow_eyes, then got bored of it, made happymanrun, then got bored of that, made a new evanthebouncy~ and I'll probably stick to this acct forever, as long as tl.net stays alive.

What i like about this site very much, is the kind of tolerance and humor it has. I dont recall very well but i think in the ten commandments it says "YOU CAN FLAME" but of course, it has to be a good flame, because its another way to get yourself a name here in tl.net. That means you have to have good arguments, and think your posts. You cant just simply be a troll (like strafe haha) and get away with everything.

I think i've never been warned or banned, but mostly because im not a very agressive poster, and i usually pick my victim ( ah, i guess most of the strategy forum know "Reason" from uk ) but again, he is the target of everyone, so i guess flaming him is kinda tolerated because its not 1 person, or 2, but a lot.

Another thing i agree with some post is that, guys who contribute to the site, get more tolerance than people who just come and do stupid comment, for example, iNcontroL, i've seen a lot of his post very trollish, but then again, i've seen a lot of his post to be very contributing. I remember one of his golden posts, making fun of drone, about having sex with a girl in his house:

Dad: "Oh hey hunny? Take a seat i made breakfeast for you and Henry Bigkawk."
Daughter: "One sec dad let me get a pillow, Henry went balls deep last night and i wont be able to sit for a week!"
*dad and henry high five*
Henry: "Than i cummed in her face!"
Daughter: "Yeah so hold on the syrup dad i think ive had enough sticky stuff in my face for one day!"
Mom: "Did you wear the cow girl outfit with the ass less chaps?"
Daughter: "No i went with the school girl no panties skirt look."
Dad: "Henry lay off the anal next time ok? I scrubbed her bloody underwear for a few hours yesterday and that shit still wont come out!"
*the group laughs and begins breakfeast*

You guys are right. I see nothing wrong with this at all.

but for example, there is another, peruvian guy with a j1987 nick or something that makes fucking stupid posts, like " i just realized this site is full of idiots ", who deserve to get immediate ban

I think the admins here do their job well. I mean, for the most part I hardly see anyone ever disagree with any ban, temporary or permanent. To the best of my knowledge, only one admin doesn't like me, which is good but it is annoying I admit. You know who you are. /stern look

Nah, you log in and it automatically redirects you to disney land, but of you hit "back" a couple times, you can still get logged on in TL.net. You just get this annoy message "You do not have enough rights" every time you try to start a topic, make a post, or send a pm.
