Why was I warned for this post? Clearly Firebolt145 knows nothing about Dragon....

I'm a fan of Dragon, and everyone knows asking him if he is gay has been a running joke in his stream chat for several months. People ask him this because they want him to be gay so they have a chance with him.

Isn't it terrible explaining inside jokes? Kinda ruins the humor. Don't warn people on things you know nothing about, tsk tsk.

This has been around for more than two years. Still, I do not think he likes it.

That's the way this forum is run, if some mod doesn't like you face he bans you.
They just make up reasons on the fly.

The TOS doesn't say anything about memes:

7. Prohibited Conduct

TeamLiquid shall have the right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion to monitor, refuse or remove any content for any or no reason, including any content that violates these Terms of Use or is otherwise objectionable. The following types of conduct are prohibited and, if exhibited through postings on the site, TeamLiquid may exercise its enforcement rights:

Vulgar, obscene, hateful, abusive, political or religious content
Disclosure of private information or content that is not your own or that you do not have the right to provide to the public, such as:
personal phone numbers, addresses or other contact information that is not your own
private information such as social security numbers
copyrighted content or trade secrets
Off-topic content not relevant to our community
Advertising or promotion of third party products, services or organizations without prior arrangement
Content or links to content that contain viruses, trojan horses, logic bombs, infinite loops, system despoilers, mainframe viruses, trap doors, zero bugs or similar destructive features that may damage someone else's computer
Duplicate or excessively repeated submissions in one or more areas
Content used to impersonate another person
Content or behavior that violates any applicable laws
Content or behavior that interferes with the operation of the site or with another member's ability to use the site
Evading site controls such as bans, or otherwise disregarding the directions of the site moderators or administrators

But lets assume memes were not allowed for whatever reason.
I wonder why memes like "Kappa" are punished but stuff like the "NASL sound guy" are not.
Of course you have the rights to enact any law you want, it's you site.
But arbitrarily banning stuff you personally don't like just makes you look silly and leads to people not taking the rules seriously.

it wasn't even a ban, it was a warning

the TOS aren't the site rules, the ten commandments are (and they're still guidelines at best)

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/tl-community/17883-tlnet-ten-commandments

you can clearly see that TL frowns upon meme usage. if you want to, take any further discussion to website feedback forum rather than clogging up this LR.
