And you can be offensive and/or flame, if you just have some argument behind it and post it in a relevant topic and let it go if you are proven wrong ect. I think that is one reason why TL is such a nice forum to hang out at. And if you are a true asshat you'll be gone sooner or later. Never got banned here but I've recieved a number of yellow-cards and warnings on another site that I hang out on. One for talking with a friend on the board and then he removed all his post to make me look stupid. But then a new mod thought that I spammed the board and gave me a tempban. Forunately I seemed to have made alot of friends/fans there (since I have an FA like postcount) as they stormed on to protect my case and get me back. Also got some for fun bans for saying that I sometimes visit other sites (mentioning TL.net) and the admins I talked with banned me for 10minutes until I promised(lyingly) to never visit another site again. A bonus was when a crewmember called (while he was slightly drunk) me at home wanting to ask me if I had anything to do with the deathtreaths a fake-acc user had made to some kids. Apparently the person who made the treahts had a profile inspired by mine and even copied stuff from it. Plus that other circumstances indicated me as a person likely to be behind it. However I was cleard pretty quickly since we talked it out over the phone. I even defended my highly offensive profile that they wanted me to change. Or well they probably just forget to check if I changed it when I was found innocent. ![]() | ||

I have however asked for a few people to be banned on terms of racism. However, they weren't banned. I was younger back then and Mani explained why they weren't gonna be banned. Ever since then I have seen Mani as a very level-headed guy who is fair to everyone here. [ It's the infamous underwater basket weaving thread by the way ] This experience also inspired my opinion on all the admins in that one thread Stimey made I think... These days the only posts I've made are 1) Defending Boxer [ military/birthday ] 2) General Forum. 3) Korean translation or culture questions. I quit Starcraft officially a while ago, and I decided to stop following progaming since Boxer is going to the military. I used to post so much more but I think now that I'm older I have less to say and more to think about. Also I think I've made a total of maybe 20 threads the entire 2 years I've been a member here. After the first couple threads, I got ridiculued really hard by members and I decided to not make anymore after that. The remaining threads were all pencil-spinning related or something else that I was specifically asked about. I think moderation does a good job here! | ||

I was just explaining why I don't post as much anymore... Not that anyone cares lol Ty for looking up threads btw... I'm surprised.... 56.....I really thought it was around 20 or so. Is there any way I can see those threads? I might have actually made more since I changed my name from Abyss_Bahamut to Ack1027 a while back. On another note, do you guys remember this thread? http://teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=28223 I think we progressed from that point pretty well. Thanks to admins. | ||

I'd like to mention I am not complaining so much as wondering what we are and are not supposed to post. those arent torrents, those are files from rapidshare. | ||

I would prefer to have a very tightly moderated rule like this: All posts must have good content and be on topic. Of course "good content" could just be posting "hahaha" in response to a joke-thread, or it could be simply stating "iloveoov" in the liquibet thread you just voted in. On the other hand, it'd be unacceptable to post an opinion without supporting it when it would be appropriate to support it. Inside jokes would almost disappear (but they could be added into a post with on-topic content). There'd be some exceptions, like if midian posted in a strategy thread "lurkers would be better" then his post contains good content just by the authority of his name, although it'd be nice if he'd explain in the first place he wouldnt necessarily be punished. So in a sense, if you want to be technical with me, you could say you're already doing that but the standards aren't as strict as I would like them to be. But in reality, the site would be entirely different. Posts couldn't be made without each one being an on-topic contribution. I would suggest (and this would happen naturally anyway) for one forum to not be strictly moderated. It'd be a place where everyone could "cut loose." (and yes you should know what I'm referring to). And posters would easily be able to observe the contrast in moderation between this "having fun, hanging out, being with the community" forum and all the other forums which are strictly dedicated to content. Hopefully I've expressed my vision. And with that in mind, I'll now say this: I don't necessarily think my vision is better than what currently exists. It would certainly be my preference since I'd like to be able to access the great content of this site in pure form, but I know a lot of people like their content mixed with off-topic things (it adds to the atmosphere, I guess). ps: how many topics have I created? I don't think very many... pps: this is my last post. | ||

He didn't that that was possible, and became kind of angry when someone suggested that you could if you stack-burrowed them. This was a long time ago. I agree with Hippotomous. It is unrealistic to think that a site can be moderated consitently and fairly. The "ITS OUR HOUSE" is a much more realistic form of moderation, and it clearly has been effective. Don't piss off the big dogs, and you're fine. | ||

KIDDING! KIDDING! LOL. Oh come on! Lighten up! I remember my first account being banned coz I badmouthed Mensrea. Stuppidest post ever. I got banned and then continued to read tl.net for another two years until, eventually, I thought I was mature enough to post again. I simply had nothing good to post so I just read. | ||
