The TL Mafia Ban List Power Rankings
The TL Mafia Ban List has been in existence for over four years maintaining order or oppressing the masses, depending on your point of view. Nearly 100 individuals have received bans at one point or another, which equates to approximately 10% of the player base. With the most recent ban list discussion, I have been inspired to present to you the top ten TL Mafia ban list moments over the years. A variety of factors went into the decision making process including their impact on the drama scale, the hilarity that ensued, and the degree of notoriety they generated. I have also consulted several individuals whose names I will not reveal, for the purpose of reminding everyone else that their opinions hold little value. Remember, this is for entertainment purposes only and is not aimed at opening up old wounds. Although if it does, I may be willing to consider adjusting the rankings accordingly.

On the other hand, I've gotten warned (where subsequent warns lead up to a ban, tracked by the map in your folder who knows in what way) because I didnt play how the host wanted even though within the rules. Or how about the random nice host who gives everyone a warning for lulz and then runs off. There needs to be a dedicated team and not power given to random people on bnet. they're scummy, just like role card extortionists.

9) QuickStriker
These days it is commonly accepted that a player must sit out a ban, even if a significant time has passed since they were modkilled. This ruling dates back to QuickStriker's request in 2011.

Never before has a ban pardon request been so philosophical. The words "QuickStriker today is not QuickStriker tomorrow" have truly inspired many to have a deeper appreciation of life and expresses the importance of living in the moment. After several players agreed that his request should be ignored due to the martyring, he sent quite an interesting PM to Qatol, the ban list moderator at the time.
Dear Qatol,
I would really appreciate it if you stop screwing up my tactical plans that I am about to unfold. Yes I know mod-kill abuse isn't really nice or "legal" but if that is so, why have you even considered not putting it under part of the rules in the first place? I simply went thru the loopholes created and since no one complained and it deemed alright from all different parties, I went ahead with the idea after confirmation. Then you show up, a non-player, out of nowhere start talking blasphemy?
If you were blind about what I stated in the last few posts, I mentioned I am busy with other things. I will be busy with that same other things since unlike you or others, I got places to go and people to do. Not being able to play Mafia games for a while? Remember Mafia VIII? When else have I played mafia afterwards? Mafia 15 was my next. Why do you think that is? Apparently I played when I was on a break and I am clearly not on a break and won't be for a while.
Then why I am playing this game? Well apparently I am playing the game until I die on the behind the scenes but you wouldn't know nor you would actually know my plans do you? How dare you just simply show up and do whatever the heck you wishes. Who do you think you are in this TL mafia forum, the god of that particular forum? Seriously.

8) kushm4sta
After receiving a ban, players have the opportunity to contest the ban and argue why it may be unfair. It's pretty common for someone to have the length of their ban reduced as a result. However, kush has the unique ability to get his ban extended when speaking on his own behalf.
For instance, people weren't exactly receptive of his response after smurfing in a newbie game:

If there is one thing that I've learned from watching the final 5 minutes of any court drama, some people just aren't meant to take the stand. For example, in one of the greatest films of our generation, Legally Blonde, that chick with the perm totally admits to committing a murder that she wasn't even on trial for. Sometimes its best to let others speak for you.
After getting banned for the phrase "gayFK", it was revealed that the term actually refers to a combination of gay and AFK. Nearly everyone showed up to defend kush and it appeared as if the charges against him would be dropped. It looked like kush was in the clear, until this:

You can't blame kush for his actions however. In cooperation with the TL Mafia ban list investigative team, kush has found to courage to open up and share his story about a childhood experience that may provide a deeper insight into our understanding of hm.
Update: Unfortunately the TL mods do not support the freedom to share an inspirational tale, such as his. He has been forced to revise the story by removing key details of his experience.
7) raynpelikoneet
Despite his more recent run-in with the ban list, rayn actually earned his spot on the list for his behavior back in 2011 where he was on the receiving end of one of my favorite bans in ban list history. As newbies to the game of mafia, it always takes a couple games to get completely up to speed regarding some of the more complicated roles. In rayn's case, there was a perfect storm of newbie ignorance, spelling errors, and hilarity that rewarded him with a 5 game ban.
In LotR Mafia, the mafia team had a bomberman, which would instantly blow up a player if they posted the trigger word in the thread. Generally, the trigger word cannot be a common word like "is" or "town". It has to be a more obscure word or phrase so that there is a challenge to bait it out. The mafia team happened to pick up on the fact that rayn would misspell the word "because" in some of his posts so they submitted a bomberman action on him with the trigger word "Becouse".
On September 30 2011 22:42 raynpelikoneet wrote:
I doubt they are both mafia becouse they have both been under accusations last night/this day

Shortly after, rayn triggered the bomb and was flipped. Not knowing that there was a bomberman in the game and possibly what a bomberman even was, he was understandably upset when he was informed that the was killed off due to a spelling error.
He misinterpreted the bomberman kp as a modkill and ragequit from the newbie game he also happened to be playing.

The game he quit, Surprisingly Normal Mini Mafia VI, does warrant further detail here. In a game of 12 players, seven committed modkill worthy offenses. People may pretend that the purpose of newbie games is to provide a nurturing environment to allow for a beneficial learning experience, but I think we all know that the true purpose is to weed out players like these, at the expense of the pour souls that are new to the forum.
Following rayn's modkill, zany felt compelled to claim mafia as well! At this point, GMarshal was so frustrated that he didn't even bother killing him off. The best part? The only mafia that didn't claim still ended up winning in endgame due to all of the town inactivity modkills earlier on.
6) Scaramanga
Scaramanga is member of the exclusive club known as the semi-permanent ban list. Most of the time, you have to do something pretty serious to get added to this list. Scara had his first run in with the ban list in TL Mafia XXII after PMing the entire mafia role list to a town player in the middle of the game, resulting in a 3 game ban.
Fresh off his ban, he was ready to turn over a new leaf in Salem Mafia. He got off to a slow start and when someone called him out on activity, he wasn't too pleased:

The best part? Scara WAS the dt and SouthRawrea WAS mafia, but the check would have came back green because he was the godfather.
At least he wasn't in denial about what was to come. Some bystanders say that he may have gotten off easy.

5) LSB Vs RoL
Most bans are resolved in a relatively dull fashion. Someone breaks a rule, there is a bit of argument about how severe the crime was, and eventually that player has to sit out a game or two and everyone moves on. The aftermath of Insane Mafia 2, however, brought forth a more progressive way of resolving the ban. In the not too distant future where GMarshal has been overthrown and chaos reigns supreme, bans will be decided in on way and one way alone: The Grudge Match.
The complete back-story to the LSB vs. RoL GRUDGE MATCH may be found here, but in summary there was a dispute between how night actions were supposed to resolve. RoL attempted to mind control a bus driver, allowing him to control the targets for the role. However, the bus driver happened to bus himself, preventing the mind control from resolving, which RoL argued should be impossible.
In a TL Ban List Power Rankings exclusive, I have uncovered a rare never before seen look into the Insane Mafia 2 hosting headquarters:
Kita: Uhh oh, this looks confusing. In what order do these night actions resolve?
LSB: I'm not sure, lets make it up!
Kita: Are you sure you want to do that? We should at least be able to explain how things happened.
LSB: I have the perfect solution! PHYSICS BROKE!
Kita: Err, while that is quite elegant, are we sure we want to upset RoL like that? He's like the Incredible Hulk. Once he gets worked up, he scares me.
LSB: Not a problem. I can handle it.
Kita: Ok, well I trust your judgement as a respected and experienced host.
LSB: LOL
Kita: LOL

You know you're in for some good drama when the banned player requests a host ban that is three times as long for "incompetence". With a signature at stake, LSB and RoL resolved their dispute like any issue should be settled: A Casted Nine Round Series of Brood War. LSB would need to

In preparation for his smurf game, RoL registered a large amount of new accounts and was awarded with a 30 day temp ban. This marked the most peaceful month is TL Mafia history.
4) Showtime! aka bEsT[Alive]
During the early days of the ban list, bans were sometimes handed out in an inconsistent manner and players would argue for days over the most trivial offenses. We sure have come so far since then.
Showtime! holds the honor of being the first major permaban to be discussed after the creation of the list. While not directly related to his ban, Showtime! is famous for entering a pact with mafia with the hopes of getting converted, only to be killed off before the conversion went through. As with most players with an exclamation point in their name, Showtime! could get a bit excited at times. His aggressive attitude would sometimes rub players the wrong way, causing them to not return. The way he blew up in Smurf Mafia truly makes him worthy of his name.

Activity was a real issue in Smurf Mafia so following the rules stated in the OP, Pyr was forced to modkill several players. Needless to say, Showtime! did not agree with the decision.
3) Coagulation
As a self proclaimed ban list connoisseur, Coagulation has shared a long lasting relationship with the TL Mafia banlist. As a display of his affection, he has hosted a ban list themed game, previewed the future of the ban list, and even created the TL ban list fan site omgus.net (new games are open for signups!). While his father Jackal did not always approve of the ban list, being the rebel that Coag is, the bond him and the list only grew stronger. He was a jealous lover and would be sure to show his face whenever he felt threatened by another player spending too much time with the list.
As with any relationship, there were some bumps along the way. At times, Coagulation would force himself upon her in the most brutal ways possible. On more than four different occasions, Coag would call things off, spending time apart, but he would always come crawling back, realizing that he couldn't bare to sit out any longer. Eventually, a deep sense of resentment grew between the two. Coag was always trying to get the ban list to change, with little success. He insisted that the circle of friends that the ban list hung out with were a bad influence on her. At the same time, the ban list became more demanding, punishing Coag for the most trivial things. In the past, coming home late would have resulted in a minor argument, but now he could receive the cold shoulder for three, or even five days at a time. At one point, she even considered kicking him out of the house for a week, getting the police involved in a dispute that they had historically been able to resolve between themselves.
In the end, Coag and the ban list agreed to call it quits. These days Coag hangs out with other ban list ex's, ridiculing those that still associate with her and plotting ways to get his revenge like a crappy Cameron Diaz movie. At times he can't help but wonder if things could have been different. Is there still hope for Coag and his long lost love to live together in happiness or will he always be destined for heartbreak?

2) Protactinium
In my opinion, the Protact incident was the most memorable single event in TL Mafia ban list history. Nearly everyone had a strong opinion on the matter at the time. It even spawned its own 7 page discussion thread, which may be found here.
In TL Mafia XXXVIII, Flamewheel, Incognito and Ver, three of the most highly regarded mafia players players at the time, played together under one the Protactinium account without informing the host or fellow players. They proceeded to identify several mafia players early in the game, including a fake red dt check on the mafia godfather Coagulation. Their identities were revealed to the thread and drama ensued.
Imagine the fallout from a situation where it is revealed that there exists a team of three players that have been discussing the game in its entirety, leading several mafia lynches that had a huge impact on the game, during a time where hydra accounts were essentially non-existent. Things were so tense that Qatol temporarily removed himself from the ban decision making process and Jackal and LemonWalrus, who of our most active players, quit playing here all together.
The most interesting part of the whole ordeal was how split the opinions were. A large group of players felt that it was an incredibly serious offense and that these players were being allowed to get away with it due to their status in the community. Another group felt that they hadn't even done anything wrong and the issue was being blown out of proportion. In the end, everyone individuals from both sides felt so strongly that they decided to play mafia elsewhere.
1) Bill Murray
Groundhog Day: A TV weatherman finds himself in a time loop, repeating the same day again and again. After indulging in hedonism and numerous suicide attempts, he begins to re-examine his life and priorities.
With Bill Murray, it was a never ending cycle. He receives a ban, he serves his punishment, he is allowed to return, and he receives another ban. No other player has found themselves on the Permanent Ban list, not once, but twice and is still welcomed back with open arms. BM is the character we love to root for. We convince ourselves that he can change. No one gets mad at BM forever, for we know that one day, he will find himself.
Bill Murray has always been the undisputed king of spam. He received his first ban list punishment as a result of his frequent posting after TL Mafia XX, in which he had a 13 page filter. By today's standards, this probably seems laughable, but when a game only has 70 pages, that adds up to nearly 20% of the thread. He was also notorious for posting one liners in succession, treating thread as a conversation, rather than consolidating his ideas into a single post. What an outrage.

In the same game, BM came up with the brilliant idea to get himself modkilled to save town a lynch. While he didn't go through with it, he claimed to have used the post to confirm himself as town. This offense, among others, put him on "double secret probation".
A few months later, BM received a ban for revealing information post death. This was a repeat infraction, as he had previously confirmed a townie post-death in TL Mafia XVI. After flipping as the inventor, he revealed that he chose not to invent an item to prove that he was town. How does BM protest the ban? By spamming up the Ban Thread itself with seven consecutive posts of course!

Warned for "PM harassment". Replaced from the game.

I agree that kingjames wasn't harrassed. Your ignoring of mod warnings, flaming, spamming, and continued flaming is why you are being modkilled. This is the end of the discussion. If you want to whine do so in the ban thread please.

Still still still continues to post. At this point he agrees to stop if DrH will reinstate him into the game. If he refuses, he threatens to ruin the game by posting all his PMs.
Eventually, BM was removed from the mafia forums by mod intervention and received his first permaban.

Original Message From Bill Murray:
1) I would like to host mafia games
2) I will sit out 3 games, possibly more
3) this is only my second ban, I know it was behavioral and not modkill style, but playing in Haunted mafia was like ramming my head against a wall in terms of the amount of idiocy I had to deal with from that town. I know that I took things with Pandain a bit too far, but my modkill was both:
1) Personal
and
2) Mafia/Vampire-driven
1) DoctorHelvetica and I have a terrible history. I probably needed to be banned in the first game I ever played due to an after-death post relating to him. He has been hostile with me ever since that point, waiting to stab me in the back. Being the host of said game, he had a great opportunity to:
2) the opportunity lied in a mafia member finally being the "feather that broke the camel's back" when he pmed doctorh saying I was harassing him in PMs. Did I claim he was a vampire to him in PM? Maybe I said mafia.... sure... is that illegal? I would like to know what that guy flipped. I bet it was red.
Anyways, I would like to be unbanned and reinstated. If I need to make a more solid case, I will actually attempt to do so.

A couple months passed and BM made his first plea to return. I do give him credit for claiming that his behavior was "Vampire-driven". Those guys suck.
A ruling was made to allow Bill Murray to return on ultra secret triple probation and play a game under the smurf account gryffindor to see how things go. He managed to make it through one game without incident, but fell just a bit short of two.

In comparison to some of his past games, BM actually wasn't too unreasonable this game. However, Jackal did manage to bait him into an argument and even admits that his goal was to get both players modkilled.

Due to his past history, BM is the one that is modkilled in over dramatic fashion. In discussion of his ban, he comes up with this gem of a post blaming the host RoL.

Lol you ungrateful little shit. I was the only host willing to allow you into my game for the normal set ups. And yes, maybe I don't update every single thing every moment it happens.

So excuse me if I have other shit going on in my life that doesn't allow me to write the day posts and update shit on time.
I changed my mind. For being a complete dick while I tried being nice to you, enjoy being perm'd. Your mannerisms while dealing with this post ban are ridiculous. You attack me on multiple bull shit angles while I was the ONLY person who was even half defending you right now.
Get the fuck out.

This was enough turn RoL green and they manage to have a nice little back and forth.
At this point, BM took a 6 month break from playing mafia. However, his legend was never forgotten.
In Personality Mafia, kurumi was given the role of Bill Murray and the game encouraged role playing. The problem? The game was also hosted by Ver so there were strict rules against spamming. As a result, Kurumi managed to receive a post game warning for his spammy play and the spirit of BM lived on.
Bill Murray eventually returned, dropping the permaban title for a second time.

Did not vote at lylo. I would request a 1 game ban, but because it wasn't specifically stated that the deadline would not change due to mod error (the daypost was late, shortening the day), I think a warning is enough.

While he managed to get away with only a warning, that clearly wasn't enough for him, so he requested a self-imposed ban from mafia and TeamLiquid.
In the last two years, BM has received only a couple activity bans. By my count, he has received bans 8 in total. While his behavior has improved, it makes you wonder: is this an end of an era? Will I ever be able to witness Bill Murray related drama again? Only Bill Murray himself knows whether he has broken the cycle.
I was always puzzled what caused him to go off in Haunted. What was so important to him that he felt so compelled to blow up? One day, it finally dawned on me:
