I used to be a real bitch and ban more, but i now only ban if it is something really stupid. I use the temp bans almost exclusively.... or at least that is my goal.


were not allowed to post porn?? i remember soooo many threads with porn in them. remember the NWS babes thread? that was like 54 pages of porn...

If it is labelled properly, porn always gets a free in. However, posting porn in places without proper warning can be dangerous for those browsing, so if it is random or not tagged, it has to go down.

Never been banned, but I hardly post.

When you get banned, can you still read TL.net and not post? I've always wondered.

Never been banned in any way, and I don't recall ever being warned. Then again, I've been a mod for a while already and have thus received a good amount of leeway.

These days I'm probably one of the least active staff members, and contribute little beyond the occasional opinion in a random thread. I regularly skim the forums, but actually read very few threads. Sometimes I feel a bit guilty about my lack of activity/contributions, but I guess it doesn't really cost the TL.net admins anything to keep me on as one. I feel a little like a TL.net hermit who goes away for long periods of time and only returns once in a blue moon. This lack of activity makes it even less likely that I would step on anyone's toes, even if I wasn't a mod.

I believe strongly in the view that this site should be moderated to fit the vision of the admins and their chosen moderators. They made it and so they can make or break it as they see fit. Fortunately, there is a genuine interest by the staff in maintaining a good posting environment on the forums which allows for a free exchange of ideas, while trying to make sure no one goes over the proverbial line. It's this desire for a reasonably fair method of moderation that makes this site what it is, and all the thanks should really go to Naz and Meat (and Drone?) for assembling a staff capable of doing so.

This post has gone on longer than I intended it too, and has become a bit off topic as well, but suffice it to say that I am proud to be a part of the TL.net staff and its community. I've always tried to maintain a certain degree of fairness and objectivity when acting as a mod, and only wish that I had more time and energy to contribute to the site these days. The rest of the staff does a great job though, and I have no fear of these forums ever going bad so long as the admins continue to do what they've been doing these past years.

Edit: Can't believe I've been a member of these forums for almost 4 years now. And a mod for 3.5 years?? Where does the time go?

I try to be constructive but a lot of threads just turn to shit by the time i get to them in which case ill either give an oppinion anyway or try to join in with the humour. I dont think this is really bad, everyone here does it.

I was temp banned for a week about a month ago (i think) for something pretty minor.

yeah that is nice bj =]

it has mostly just been TKWL banning for torrents tho. I've never done it. but I think we're supposed to. but it's kind of a fine line like, we would never ban for saying "look for a torrent" or "piratebay.org has lots of torrents" (and to my defense some of the links you got bj are people posting generic torrent sites ) but rather posting direct links to torrents that in some way might be illegal for us to link to.

mini and d4d and distance_voice and chibi and wodd and BG1 (although actually not cause he asked "torrent sites are allowed on the site right if not i'll take them off after linking one) and Brood and uicK and camoot should all be banned though.

:D

and then mini and d4d and distance_voice and brood and camoot get contributor-leeway
chibi gets away with anything anyway
wodd is a 3 post poster who cares
BG1 apologized
and oh well I dont wanna make uick feel special in a bad way.


... someone was looking for something and I just replied with a torrent site, not linking to an actual torrent, just the site.. a legit torrent site and I was banned. It was suposed to be a week ban or something but you guys never unbanned me. I asked twice to be unbanned telling you guys that I had no idea and would not do it again but you ignored me

Yes BlackJack thats right im rS.Loco and thank you for finding those links before I did

Your idea would make this place boring.
And I just want to point out one thing. The name of the site. Its Team Liquid. You act as if they have some responsibility to listen to people, at all.

It is their team's website. They get to do whatever they want. It has been that way from the start. No change needs to be made to the moderation because it is THEIR site. They own it. If they don't like your face they can ban you. They have owe nothing to anybody here. They don't have a responsbility to do anything, regardless of the place the site holds in the foreign BW community. It is a clan site. Your being allowed to visit is a priviledge, not a right.

It's nice that they actually do listen to people though. They take critism and don't rule with a draconian fist(despite what people think about rekrul, he's nothing to be afraid of if you aren't doing something wrong). They actual let people bad mouth them if they think is has its place. They give people immense freedom on their site. Everything other site I've been to that was owned by a group wasn't run like this. You should consider yourself lucky, not in a place to complain.


With that out of the way, I've never been banned, don't think I've ever been warned. I'm told I don't even have a note but that may have changed since one of the last threads I posted in I decided to be a total arrogant prick in. I do that a lot actually, but that time was a bit overboard.

I kind of like the fact that I can be an arrogant prick and as long as I contribute to whatever the topic is, I am considered fine. As long as you actually contribute, you can have whatever personality you want. I like that. You were needlessly a prick in a topic without contributing anything, and so got banned. I have been needlessly a prick a hundred times with contributing and that seems okay. Perhaps you should contribute when you want to be a prick.


You should quit your bitching. You seem pretty ungrateful for being allowed to post on their clan site.

As far as I know i've never been warned/temp banned/banned. Generally I try to think about what im posting to avoid stupid post's, although i'm sure i've probably done some.

actually loco I just looked it up
you complaining about being banned for it makes little sense, because the rules were posted in the very same topic before you linked isohunt.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=27021

i'll gladly admit that we're not always consistent. but 3 people had pointed out that asking and responding wouldn't be tolerated before you posted it.

has Reason been banned? he's been really trolling for months now but seems to have disappeared of late. Is there a ban-list on the site or anything? just curious.

Yeah theres a ban "update" thread that in which a bot or something lists bans as they happen. Its either in the Closed or the Website Feedback forum. I'm too lazy to check, so just have a look yourself ;p

hey im not complaining i really dont care about this i didnt read their posts before posting. I would of never thought it was illegal to share torrent sites because most of them are legal

We share torrents on liquidpoker all the time how come its ok on LP but not on TL? Just out of curiosity, i'm not defending my rights to post torrents or anything.
