##bote: shiaopiThis mentality is gangrenous and needs to be cauterised. Also the whole "IM A VET AND YOU SHOULD LICK MY BALLS" thing, pls cut this crap.
lol
and this is basically why no rules should be changed.
thx for providing a great example.

Let me clear up one thing right now. I'm here because the community wants me. If you want to find another banlist moderator, make a thread, get a majority of the population of tl mafia to vote to get rid of me, and find someone to take over the responsibilities. Regardless, stop behaving as if I'm some kind of authoritarian dictator in my tower, feasting while the masses starve. I check tl mafia daily, and skim most of the active games. PMs almost always reach me, and I'm actively involved with helping people balance setups, so saying I'm uninvolved is disingenuous.
A few other point of note the bear mentioning. this wasn't my decision. Foolishness came to me and said this was something that might be good for tl mafia. I agreed. He then spoke with the hosts, who as a group decided that they wanted to enforce these standards more in their games. As you guys should be aware, because I've only said it about 100000000 times, I generally don't make rules on tl mafia, I enforce the rules of tl and the will of the hosts. You know, the people who are running the games you're in. This wasn't some unilateral decision by foolishness and I, where we decided to do this because "why the fuck not!". This is basically a PSA saying "the hosts have agreed to enforce this". If I wanted to shove this change down your throats, I would have simply told the moderation staff that TLMafia needed to be held to the same standards as the rest of TL, and let Kadaver run rampant. Since we *are* a community, I thought some level of communication, where everyone knows what was decided is best.
Finally, behavior *does* have to change. Players don't leave from a single post, like DP was suggesting, its rather a constant wear that results in them just not wanting to put up with it anymore, its a constant abrasion. You can also look at all the newbie games where newbies were excited to play in "real" games, played in one, and never came back. There's also a problem of image. I want to promote TLMafia more, using TL resources, like twitter, crossposting to LD etc. If I start doing that, and the first thing newcomers see is someone calling someone else a retard, how likely are they to stay? Is that holding this subforum to the standards the rest of tl has? TL has thrived by being a selective community.This means that people who aren't willing to follow the rules are out. Yes, it means fewer members sometimes, but it means people we want to be members. This isn't new, zorkmid got banned because we don't want people ruining games, other people have been banned because we don't want them smurfing into newbies. So saying "rules exclude people" isn't an actual argument, its exactly what rules do, they force people to adapt to them or make them leave. The argument that you can't make people nice doesn't hold any water either, the goal isn't to make people better human beings, its to stop them being dicks to other people. It works, its what makes LR threads readable, its what makes the TL Strategy section actually good.
The bottom line is this, nothing is going to change insofar as I'm not going to be going into threads pruning for bad posts, I'm not going to hang out waiting to swoop down and ban people. Hosts will continue to request bans, and I'll continue to moderate them, the difference is hosts will be more active about behavioral issues, and generally saying on top of ad hominem.

Another nice thing would be to give more fun roles to newbies.
scum/blues/3rd party etc, let the best veterans be vanilla since this is actually both the hardest and the most boring role which requires commitment.

I would like to request a list of hosts agreeing to this.

I think if hosts want to modkill for spam / caps / ad hom that's great if they choose to do so. However I don't think we need to go all ban list for slips in a game where those rules are going to be highly enforced since people tend to fall back on their habits or lose their cool in the heat of the moment.
Therefore I propose we separate the concept of bans and modkills in our minds. Modkilling someone who wants to play is probably punishment enough when their grievous fault is posting too much or using "SHOUTING TEXT!" or a clever joke picture / video. Disrupting the game after being modkilled is another issue entirely, of course. Not every offense of the nature of these newly-reaffirmed rules needs to result in a ban.
If When marv calls me a fucking retard (probably rightly so) I don't expect him to get banned for a game unless he's really laying it on thick. If the rules say he gets modkilled, I guess that's what's going down.

foolishness rarely hosts or plays. how does he know what's going on?

Guys you really have zero legs to stand on bashing gmarshal and foolishness. If they don't play as much as they used to, it's only because they like the rest of us have gotten older and more responsible. They do a great job moderating this forum under the guidelines we (the community) laid out for them.
Not to put words in either of their mouths, but to me it seems that despite both of their being displeased and partly pushed out by the meta and pace trends of the game they've stuck to principles of broad host autonomy and minimal mod intervention, and calling them a "junta" or a dictatorship is absurd. They haven't even implemented these rules unilaterally yet despite having good justification to do so. All they've done is exactly what we have asked them to - run the banlist and game queue, and for gmarshal be the tlmafia community's liaison to the site admins. Like, imagine if gmarshal wasn't involved with tlmafia - you'd have site bans any time someone got offended and hit the report button, or whenever an other mod happened to click on one of our threads.
Pretty low, guys.

Host puts up a list of rules in their OP. if you don't follow them and get modkilled, then there should be consequences.
All the banlist is is a list of people who haven't followed rules. Hosts can choose whether or not to follow the banlist. But it exists to give players an incentive to follow the rules the hosts lay out.

But what if they're little felonies?

You must understand that this is not new set of rules per se, it is more like a new guideline for hosts and players. Like a big PSA: your behaviour, which was tolerated before might be bannable now. We are going to moderate our games stricter and modkill people more often. That is all. If you do not go over the line you are fine. If you get warned and play less abrasive, you are fine. If you get warned and still keep going at it - you are going to get banned. Respect others and it is going to be all good.

Look, this whole post could have just been worded like:
"In light of recent behaviour i've asked the hosts to be a little bit stricter in terms of aggression and spam! They will warn you first and then if it continues you will be modkilled. Everything is at the hosts discretion but I have told them to be a little less leniant. We'd like more people to join and we want to start posting games to show off the fun we can have. In order for them to do that our games need to look a little more refined than current standings."
Nobody would have many problems with that ^ but the OP was worded so that every bit of aggression and caps lock and anger would not be tolerated at all. Even contemplating about TL bans...? So pretty much NOTHING is changing but the hosts being a little more pro-active in behaviour warning and that's it.

This is precision but you word it differently
"You need to reconsider the thinking behind your actions. I am suspicious that the root of your problem is internal, and you need to address this because currently I suspect you experience failure everywhere.
