A confident forum will not need periodic witch hunts but a consistent daily reinforcement of the rules, much like how the world is run, police man enforcing the laws constantly and consistently. It is not some hit on the forehead hot headed whim "oh shit yeah let's ban a load of people!" but rather a long term commitment. The need of a purge shows that teamliquid is not confident enough in its management powers and resort to threats to keep orders in place. I would ask the mods to be more confident in their abilities to cope with the bad posters consistently throughout the years instead of having a huge ban spike and then withdrawn into a lull. | ||

A well thought out and sober post. A rebuttal I don't want a steady and sober managment style for this forum. I want spates of flames and bad posters, I want new vs old, I wantmods abusing their power. I want posters to fear for their lives, and I want rivers of blood to flow for no particular reason other than somebody felt like it. I want this purge to have teeth, I want some questionable bans, I want controversy damn it. The last thing I want from a TL purge is an orderly and sensible banning of the worst posters. Ban them all. Hand out temp bans like candy, permabans like slightly more expensive candy, and hit hard and hit often. Otherwise you're unworthy of the name purge, unworthy of the image of death carrying a sychthe, and I'll daresay unworthy of the hammer and sickle | ||

Will we give them the freedom to unleash such meaningful actions in order to after see other moderators come and say: "Yo, those dudes we allowed to ban while drunk should not have banned you. I'll unban you, yo". If we don't give them alcohol combined with the power to ban, there will be no such mess in the first place. Voilà. Lol there are only a few cases where this has ever been a real issue. | ||

Someone finally got this side of the agruement right. However, i do appriecate being made aware of the concerns before someone banned me for something i had not relized was an issue. As such i do see some value in the 'purge'. I think the word purge got many people's backs up, its more of a kick in the pants. | ||

I would ask the mods to be more confident in their abilities to cope with the bad posters consistently throughout the years instead of having a huge ban spike and then withdrawn into a lull. It's hard enforcing laws consistently and constantly though. Usually rules are enforced when laws are put into place, and then slow relaxed and exceptions are made. For instance, when speeding laws were put into place, I'm sure that people obeyed the speed limit until they realized that they could speed at almost no risk. In the same way, the Mods let one or two irreverent comments slide from senior forum members and it snowballed into the masses making irreverent comments. Especially after the spate of new members after TSL (I included, I suppose, but I beat TSL by 4 days or something) the Mods probably feel that the posting quality has degraded. A "consistent daily reinforcement of rules....[with] policemen enforcing laws constantly and consistently" while excellent in theory, is probably not practical for TL.net. Most of the Mods probably have jobs and lives outside of TL.net and don't have time to assess whether or not a poster has stepped over the line after every post. The purge happens now because they noticed a general downward trend in post quality and wish to remedy that with punitive action. Just my thoughts. | ||

That is the least we can do for all those worthy members. I miss when I used to be in TL-west and Rek would come on drunk and ban the whole channel. And the purge is not because of a lack of confidence on the mods... lol. The influx of people who have no clue of the written and unwritten laws of this place from SC2, TSL, are why this is going on. | ||
