gg.net doesn't need as much moderation as this forum. Its a fact. TL moderates way more than gg.net. I'm happy with both tho. Got smth to do with the average age of the members I suppose.

I guess theres no W. T. Snacks here.

i voted slightly over moderated. I love the site and i understand there has to be some order but some times i don't even feel comfortable posting in fear i might get banned or some thing. The internet is a weird thing when your reading words some body typed it is difficult to show emotion thru them. basicly what im sayin is people interpret differently how some body ment to say something. (if that makes any sense) lol

I don't like the way fakesteve does stuff, let's just leave it at that.

BANNED BECAUSE I HAVE POOR QUALITY OF LIFE

I feel that the Blogs are moderately over-moderated!

Moderately. Mods aren't unfair (usually

) and they aren't pushovers. One reason I still visit TL

Honestly speaking, I love all the bans and the reasons. I check the ban thread everyday

Slightly under-moderated. There's a fair amount of spam, name-calling and trash-talking, but overall it's quite civilized in comparison to a lot of forums on the internet. I frequent one other forum besides tl.net, and that one is much more heavily moderated, which has resulted in the threads and posters being a lot nicer and the quality of posts higher, but the users are older as well.
If the mods were a bit more keen on stating the rules when there's transgressions, I think more posters would behave.

Only the blogs are moderated a bit too much.

Slightly under-moderated, since swearing like "fuck" is not banned.

This is actually the very best thing about the entire forums. It's so annoying when you can't talk properly on some forums, as if some 8-year-olds would get traumas.

Slightly over-moderated

I got banned for calling an ugly girl ugly. I don't see how that deserves a ban, maybe a warning but that's it imho.

You are of course entitled to your opinion and it's fine that you feel it's slightly over-moderated, but I don't understand your reasoning.

There is nothing to be afraid of. Personally I have been a member on a number of internet forums since I started using the web in 1998, some still exist and some don't. Several of them are (or were) more heavily moderated than TL and yet I have never been banned (or temp banned) anywhere.
Once I received a PM from Beyonder (a mod) commenting on a post of mine (which I believe I had even edited by the time I read the PM, not 100% sure on this though) years ago, before I became staff and a warning for calling out/flaming a (now ex-)mod on broodwar.de. Both of them were probably deserved (although I still think that guy is stupid -.-). That's the closest I have ever gotten to a forum ban in 11 years on the web.

I know this is may seem easy to say with the rather protected status of being a moderator, but my honest opinion is that it is actually pretty hard to get banned from TL (or any other forum I have visited for that matter), if one applies the slightest amount of common sense when posting.

I think it's slightly over-moderated. But to be honest, I wouldn't want it to be any different.

In the interest of full disclosure
+ Show Spoiler +

You got banned for saying "My god is she ugly" in a thread about a nevergg interview

So ya, completely, completely warranted.

I'm very happy with the TL.net moderation. Sometimes a bit too much flaming considering players skill but it feels like if it's less recently.

The moderation will be tested for real however once SC2 get released. The amount of new people flooding in will bring lots of retards and a lot more work. I hope TL will keep the ban hammer ready.
