I've never been warned or banned from an internet forum in my life. I try to be mild mannered and not provocative.

Even nice, civil, intelligent people can have spats of stupidity, though, and I think disciplinary action when appropriate can help cool their heads.

Its best just to leave the silly threads alone, they will probably get closed anyways.

Edit: Oh yeah and I've been warned once. It just means a mod likes you, thats all

This is one of the main reasons for the Report feature. You can vent about bad posts without derailing the thread.

Stars that shine bright shine the shortest.

I don't think bans set people straight, they just change themselves over time, call it growing up/out or w.e you like.

I always asumed myself not be intressting enough to get banned. So if the day finally comes I will not learn nor be sad because it will be a day of joy. If it doesn't I can just keep posting. It's a win - win situation. On a related note, I live a very fullfilling life.

I got warned a couple of times, and almost all of my threads have been closed, but that was back when I saw TL as "yahoo answers"

frankly I still have a probe past 250posts/30days (Which is about the only formula I know) and I get the feeling that I'm treading water in the deep end.

maybe I should just start a new account to get rid of all that and cuz my name sucks.

WAIAWAIAIWIAIAIAI!!!! I'm still thinking about it mods.

You get your zealot at 250 post 90 days...

Also i remeber my 2 day ban was from this post http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=133083&currentpage=3#54
The guy thought that superbugs were giant-bugs or something so he called the poll stupid. In which i unwittingly replied "are you stupid?" But i should of explained what it was instead :/


LoL, that was me!
I knew I recognized what you were talking about for some reason...

p.s. I did not think super bugs were giant bugs, lol.


Oh lol

I was banned on my first post coming in here to ask for a sc2 beta key new thread and the whole shebang-a-bang. Then I noticed it was really stupid of me went into IRC asked around for an admin came around Kennigit who I then told about what I did and that I am sorry for doing it and it wouldn't happen again and he same pretty cool about it.

Since then I was banned for not sure how long but then the admin thought it was too harsh so it was a warning, what I said was a little to passive aggressive I suppose I was telling someone how stacking mutas is a waste of time in Starcraft 2 so I kind of said it in a flaming tone.

+ Show Spoiler +
"Stacking doesn't exist in sc2 and even if you find the time to be clicking that much a thor will come in and ruin your cutesy micro trick that doesn't exist.


And now I try to be a quality poster with being very light on any aggression, but still not muting my opinions!

-Laggy
p.s I am really enjoying the TL community I think the reason that it's so good is because of the mods.

p.p.s opinions is really close to onion, nvm.

I take pride in the fact that I continually push my opinion without actually getting banned :D That said, the the reason I push it it -- my controversial opinion -- is because of some of the mod decisions. @laggy -- I like TL too -- I love it -- but some of the moderation decisisions are crap. I like that they don't fuck around regarding spam and lazy questions. I don't like how quick they are to silence certain opinions just because they're a little personal, or the bad judgement calls by mods.

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.


I'm an example of getting set straight by a ban. You won't see me doing stupid posts anymore.
If it's stupid but it works, then it's not stupid* (*Or: You are stupid for losing to it, and gotta git gud)

As in you asked to be banned for a period of time?

Like.. "Exams are coming up so I don't want to be posting on TL to distract me from studying, please ban me for X amount of time?"

Is that what you mean?
I need this place like I need a shotgun blast to the face.

The Beta Roulette thread set me straight. I learned that I should avoid SC2. In fact, it probably worked very well considering how easy it is to get bait-banned in SC2 threads.

Not bans, per se, but during the last "purge," attention was called (via warning) to the fact that I am a terrible poster who rarely writes more than one line per post, so I basically stopped posting. Also, the following is the greatest warning I have ever recieved.

This is a Warning!

THIS IS A NOTICE THAT IF YOU EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER POST FIRST AGAIN NOT ONLY ON THIS FORUM BUT ON ANY FORUM AND DONT THINK WE WONT FIND OUT BECAUSE WE WILL EVEN IF ITS ON SOME PRIVATE FORUM THAT ONLY YOUR FAMILY POSTS ON I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL KIDNAP YOUR FUCKING GRANDMOTHER AND BEAT THE URL OUT OF HER AND I WILL FIND OUT IF YOU POST FIRST THIS IS A NOTICE THAT IF YOU EVER DO IT AGAIN I'M GOING TO CUT YOUR TONGUE OUT AND SLAP YOUR ACROSS YOUR STUPID NERD FACE WITH IT AND AFTER THAT WE'LL SEE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE WITHOUT EYES I MEAN IT I'LL PULL OUT YOUR FUCKING EYEBALLS AND THEN HOLD THEM UP TO YOUR FACE SO YOU CAN LOOK AT YOURSELF SHRIEK IN HORROR BEFORE MY BLADE ENTERS YOUR SKULL AND EVERYTHING GOES DARK

Thanks in advance for your cooperation,

someone clearly dislikes "first" with great intensity.

Man i used to post w.e came to mind now i type out so many responses and then just don't hit post. either because i moved on from raging or i just don't think the post is worth anything, else i could easily be doing 200 posts a week lol

I was warned for some minor things, and 2 day banned for a minor thing (imo ) as well. Because they were small things, I haven't become a new man from it, but at the same time, I've learned not to do those things anymore
