A few years ago, Rek banned me for two weeks because I posted a ytmnd thinking it was hilarious. It worked. Fast forward a bit later, and haji PMed me (before he was modded/demodded) about my lack of content during live reports. I've tried to add more content to all my posts since then. Rickrolling in an Obama thread resulted in a 2 day ban because I needed a reason not to post in the mafia game that was going on. Other than that, it's mostly Chill banning me because I needed time off TL to study.

You have to have been here a year.

I've been banned a few times mostly because my posts weren't in the range of "mod humor". Been here for a few years, but I seldom post because of the banhammer hovering over my head.
P.S. - I'm joking...well, half-joking. Can't really criticize the system as a whole though. because TL is still definitely the best forum around

Never got banned, never got warned, besides that one time I had to request perma-ban of my past account due to real life reasons. It is actually quite surprising because I don't think of myself as quality poster at all- perhaps my general adherence to policy "never fight a losing discussion" has something to do with it.

I get warnings for some of the dumbest things/bashing retarded people.
But oh well, ain't gonna change me, I'm just not gonna post.
If I see something retarded enough, I'll still post and just take the warning. (Read: Don't give a fuck.)

I got banned for calling people who were insulting IdrA in the GSL topic stupid 
Oh well, just won't comment on any players at all anymore >_>
|
I got banned for posting lame (I admit) one-liners in Cool's thread, and have actually learned the policies of TL in the meantime. For the most part, they do decent moderating.
EDIT: Though I wish deep down they'd be as tough on anti-IMBA people as pro-IMBA...not that that has anything to do with my personal ban

No, you got banned for calling people idiots.

I've always wondered why there's no report button for mods, especially considering some of them have a history of being banned. Accountability is always a good thing to keep standards high.

1st post, he was being a complete and utter dick. 2nd post, he was right, but was also being a complete and utter dick, AND got the attention of someone with a lot of posts. Thats doubly bad.
I'm personally trying to find the fine line between being able to joke around with mods and being banned. It's tough.

100 posts now, no warnings or bans. I remember on MTGS I made a post w/o card tags and got a warning and I felt so bad and scared. I just feel I can't disappoint/anger people because it makes me feel super guilty. And that I guess has always kept me in check.
EDIT: On topic I know a couple people there who spammed false rumors and got banned a few times that were set straight by it.

I think I got perma banned twice and was set a lot more straight afterwards....
I think twice before posting anything

Like for the first one go with You are a self-made man and worships your creator and you objected to ideas only when others had them.I thought of you as fearfully ill-educated and quite tenth rate. I feel quite maternal to you.
And for the 2nd one you go with stop being a dumb ass.

?
What mods have a history of being banned?
Also, there is complete and total transparency for any moderating action. That's WHY our standards are so high. I have no clue what you're talking about.
