Banning promotes sychophantic behaviour amongst those who have never been, and never wish to be banned (read: teachers pet)

while those of us with the dubious distinction of being banned are either
A: noobish
B: Have noobish opinions
C: Have good opinions that are expressed in a noobish manner
D: All of the above (is that possible?)

But, that said, we, also hold a place in the mod's hearts since collectivley, we are that 'rebellious child' which the teacher secretly admires, and we post noobishly sometimes to dilute the monotony of the sycophants!!

Yes this is a biased opinion
Yes I HAVE been temp banned


Side note: being a fairly new poster, and experienced lurker, why do i see so many ppl being ressurected from permabans?

EDIT: Glaring example of sychophantic behaviour mentioned above

I being a cynic personally find it slightly insincere, or if sincere then very very sickly

Previous warnings about other things 0 bans.

Im not dropping this until at least one mod takes the time and effort to actually look into my history.
Look-

You've closed ONE thread of mine (which wasn't homework), the one about programming,
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=94180
which i assumed was for my behavior in the thread, which is understandable and i agree with that - my behavior was bad.
you never said you closed it because it was a "homework thread", which it wasn't. and quote
Also, let it be known, some moderater changed the thread to "Homework thread" to spite me, it was never a homework assignment.

Furthermore, this was the thread i got banned for, the only thread that was closed and im supposedly supposed to know they aren't allowed.


No? I can list dozens of homework help threads that mods have POSTED in that weren't closed. How the fuck am i supposed to know.
(if u want me to literally spend hours lookin them all up I don't mind at all.)

My actual ban warning
No, i NEVER knew that homework threads were not allowed. IF you had banned me for being a martyr or being BM in the last thread, sure i dont't care at all, but you(mods) specifically banned me for something i honestly didn't know, and how was i expected to know.

you missed my point ENTIRELY. i used it as an example of why i didn't know homework threads weren't allowed.

I dont even know how long its been(2 years?) since that ban but im still FURIOUS over it, and i never knew until i posted in this thread that i was still steaming over it.
That alone might tell you something about me

@ rage
Fuck you
@ chill
Thanks for your understanding of me throughout the years i've posted. Even though you probably hated me as a poster you always acted objectively. I can completely understand you taking your friends side (rage) in the thread i got banned and to be honest i've always thought of you as somewhat of an internet father figure.
@ hot_bid, the guy who banned me
Im not sure why you didn't look this over thoroughly, but it was just i held such high standards of you as a poster/moderator , quite frankly im envious of you as a person, so it was to my huge disappointment/confusion that you didn't see or even attempt to see any of my points.

Oh wow, you seriously amazed me here.

You didn't just make a homework thread. That's the first thing you did, and it got closed. After that you did the following:

You borrowed your account to a friend of yours so he could make a homework thread. When his question was solved but he actually didn't understand anything (if you understood anything of what he had to say you would've realized like all the other people in that thread), he started flaming people.

The sad part is you still don't realize you're in no place to complain. Your first of all had nothing to do with the programming so don't even understand what he was asking for or how retarded the discussion was that ensued. But still even then, you should at least realize you shared your account to let a friend abuse your reputation on this website to get homework help, while flaming staff members that actually provided immediate help (if he had any understanding of the theory he would've understood) to his completely wrongful request.





Are you really saying you should've gotten away with that? You're either very stubborn or very closed minded. You actually got a super lenient ban after all that.


Yeah dude, everyone was just taking their friend's side, it's not that the people you always respected for being objective were actually being objective.

Oh yeah, and all the other people (literally every single poster) that posted in that thread and understood what was posted realized just how wrong you were. Reread the thread please.

How can you even expect people not to think you're retarded after all this? I actually thought up till now that you were just too stubborn to apologize, but this is just on a whole other level.

sometimes I got banned for really stupid reasons I think. I don't remember exactly. But I got banned a couple of times for one post where I used too many foul words or for QQing too much. What upset me most about that was that I was basically banned when I had one big post where I QQed a lot, but most of my other posts are usually pretty large and I try to contribute a lot and actually bring arguments tot he table instead of just baseless QQing, whereas others just have no idea how discussion works and just hammer you down with their silly points and logical fallacies and endless QQing, yet none of them get banned.

my first ban I got was for "ruining a good thread". I was banned by kennigit, and I remember being really really upset about it. Like genuinely sad / angry that I was banned for my post. I don't exactly remember the post in question, but it was a thread about something and I posted something in a calm and mannered fashion which was actually on topic as far as I remember, but Ken disagreed with me and banned me for two weeks. Yes, not one, but two weeks. And that was my first ban I ever got. I was like really close to never ever visiting this forum again. That really upset me a lot. Not in a "omg these forum moderators are idiots" way, but more in a way that made me supersad and disappointed.

in short, sometimes I feel like being honest and not idiotic/hypocritical like a lot of people here can really bite you in the ass. you can get banned for simply stating your honest opinion, even if you don't flame others etc. in the progress and try to argue reasonably.

I also got banned for literally calling someone a "fucking idiot" or something like that, and I totally understand that since I asked for the ban in the post (but that guy deserved it, and I think I never did it again after that). But then sometimes I really don't understand why I was banned instead of warned. Or when I was banned not for one or two days, no, like a week or two. That just really hurts. Like, it doesn't make you angry or something, it's just like a mod is trying to tell me: "Please get the fuck out of our forums, we don't like you, we don't want you here". Especially when you get banned for a post which intended no harm.

edit: oops I forgot a part of my post.

So in terms of "getting set straight". Well, I think more active about my choice of words right now and also I have some occasions where I write some lengthy post, like at least 1000 words+, then read through it and I'm like "better not post that, some moderator might read something into my post which I didn't intend" and just delete the post and leave it at that. That's not exaggerating or something, but sometimes I really get worried that I'm going to be banned again lol.

Why the hell would i owe rage the apology, he's the one who instigated the whole event, took a huge dump on my thread and talked a load of shit about me when i was banned and couldn't reply at all. i would apologize to any moderator, any poster because ,obviously, i did fuck up in that thread with various things, but i would never apologize to that fucking piece of shit.

Sigh that wasn't me =/
can you at least see why im upset? everyone who is going to read that thread is going to immediately shit on me, because
1) thread title was changed
2) my friend made the posts that you're reading, ""rape some BM assholes" in particular =/
3) i couldnt explain any of this because thread locked/ me banned and then rage makes some claims against me that arent true, which i cant disprove because i cant post anything.
