It's no different than bold or red text in my opinion and would completely neuter austin. As far as I'm aware, the "Do Not Spam" issue is being saved for another day and won't change from how it is currently enforced? From the sound of things, this isn't very drastic of a change. I don't think harsher post-game punishments would solve much, but personal attacks have never been allowed and the only difference now is that hosts would step in a bit sooner with a warning PM before things get out of hand and people would agree to be a bit more pleasant in the thread, which seems pretty reasonable to me. Fwiw I use that to sound like a raving madman | ||

I think if you look at the rules suggested in the OP you'll find nothing actually objectionable about them, just about things that you think are there but aren't. We're not saying "no flaming" or anything like that, just to not be awful people. Now, maybe in theory this is not different than what we have, but if we have a grand opening in 2 weeks where we are now and then things will be good/different What the fuck? Most of this thread is people objecting to the rules in the op. WHY CAN"T WE USE ALL CAPS SELECTIVELY TO HIGHLIGHT A POINT? Why can't we post a lot? I agree with not making jokes about race/sexuality but if someone is acting retarded blazinghand, I want to be able to call both them and their argument retarded. | ||

Some people are able to make long, well-thought-out posts and are able to deduce things in a grand scheme of things kinda way. Other people are better at figuring out the game based off of real-time conversations, having a back-and-forth with another player or two or whatever the case may be. Restricting a persons play style to a certain way just because you don't play that way is absolutely bonkers. Having said that, all the posts of reactionary youtube clips and .jpegs and "lol" 1 liners should be abolished as far as I'm concerned. You know...stuff that's ACTUALLY spam/unrelated to the game My YouTube has hidden significance sir | ||

The problem really isn't so much behaviour imo and tl bans shouldn't be used at all. I forgot a long time ago let me reply to everyone | ||

Let's ban people more because fewer and fewer people play here. Seems legit. The fact that hearthstone and Dota have their own sites with no mafia presence and the decline of SC2 has nothing to do with the reduction in new players. No it has to be some non-existent behavior problem. So let's make rules that will alienate the people who already play here and Ban them from playing. That will increase the size of our community. Right guys? Right? | ||

Blizzard in 2010 going. No guys, THIS game is better, OBJECTIVELY better. So we are going to force you to play this game in order to #GrowEsports. Just before they killed the broodwar scene that had lasted over a decade. | ||

The point is, with my stance, I don't even have to *have* a stance on whether flaming/arguing is a problem. Is there a problem? No? Then let hosts do what they like Is there a problem? Yes? Then hosts already have more than ample tools to deal with it. Whichever way you look at it, you think behaviour is fine, behaviour is too aggressive, the hosts already have all the tools necessary at their disposal. All these new "rules" are doing is creating conflict where no conflict is necessary, because, at the risk of repeating myself, hosts already have all the tools at their disposal they need to moderate games. | ||

Right guys? Right? I've pushed behind the scenes for tl mafia because I know the fragmentation of community is bad for our new recruits, especially dota 2. http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/450319-sharing-some-thoughts?page=3#57 is just a tiny example of this. In any case, calling people retarded maybe isn't the way we should be rolling anyways right On May 28 2014 08:44 marvellosity wrote: that's not a coherent argument, that's a self-centred argument that holds no water with anyone but you.

Do you believe games are being moderated effectively right now? If not, then just having the tools doesn't seem to be doing the trick, right? | ||

Poll: Should it be allowed to call a player retarded? No, this crosses the line and should not be acceptable. (24) Yes, I support the freedom to inform a player of their retardedness.
