I love the Automated Ban Thread. I see a lot of people banning people because they're dicks and saying "maybe you'll learn with this ban".

I'm just curious if anyone is/ knows an example of someone set straight by bans?

I'm pretty sure fanatacist stopped being a dick about 7000 posts in, but he's gone now. Wondering if there are other examples.

Well from warnings I learned not to make jokes too subtle or people will think you're serious.

see before I would have written "because people here are stupid"
No I'm never serious.

The two times I got warned were when I posted bunch of Fucks and said fuck blizzard.

Well I never did the first one again lol, and I think i'll rephrase fuck blizzard in a more professional way in the future, like That company blizzard needs to stop being bunch of dicks and leave bw alone.

fantacist is my alt

also, bans unfortunately do not cure being stupid and opinionated. Look at hammered!

sob3k was just temp banned for 1 week by Harem.

That account was created on 2009-08-17 10:46:37 and had 1265 posts.

Reason: my horoscope tells me that you will continue to be a huge dick in the future

maybe a week break will help change that

Well... if someone didn't get set straight by the ban.. then I'd imagine he/she'd be perma-banned.

When I had like 500 posts I posted an over 9000 joke and got a week ban on the spot(it was quite a fitting occasion though tbh). From there on I pretty much learned to stay away from those kind of memes. I also got banned for 2 days for posting an image macro on the spot at like 7k posts, but I can't really say that set me straight; I was just hoping to have a little fun with that reply lol. I had 2 other self-requested bans other than that.

No user is ever really changed at the core by bans, they just either

a. realize that being able to post on TL is worth more than voicing their opinions/bm

or

b. find more tactical ways of trolling/bming/upsetting people.

I'm actually curious as to how often the average TL user has been banned, but I'm too scared to start a poll about it out of fear of being banned for it =/

I do agree that the banning is effective though, just the subtle constant threat is enough (for me at least) to be more careful and tactful when posting, and to always add an extra sentence or two to fill space even when all I really wanted to do was post a one liner.

Don't hate the player, hate the game

I think the only change has been that I use my shift key more....

I'm pretty sure he didnt stop, and got perma banned, i could be mistaken though. Some of the current admins/Liquid players were banned before if i m not mistaken, Nony for sure, then i think i saw Fakestve and some other moderators, there was a thread, no idea how to find it actually

I got ip-banned some year´s ago, I´ve learned some manners since
Although I wasn´t the worst poster back then either, the permaban was a bit surprising as I had only got a 2 day ban once before it.

Oh yeah and with this account I got a warning for a stupid meme-post. Stay AWAY from those.

Ive got to say that there have been some warnings ive gotten that have really helped me post better (set me strength :p)

Than again sometimes (very infrequently) ill get one thats not really warranted but you take the good with the bad i guess.

Because you have a personal grudge against him, it becomes obvious why you have such a skewed perspective on reality. Why not just confront Hawk about it now, since it was his alt?

I've never been banned but I live in constant fear. So I think the mods are doing their job on that level at least.

Ironically hamerd has an alt and he posts well on it. He was given the "no astrology" ultimatum and abides by it.
