I was going to fucking say that. Dammit, I didn't say it because I've been excessively posting, so I'm being mindful. Though, now saying this is even more irrelevant. I think Baller's "B.net is racist" topic was ridiculously silly. | ||

In short, he's awesome. Aeres what, persay, do you have against baller's humor? What would be "not funny?" He just tries too hard to be funny. His graphs tend to be quite good, but his posting style is just grating, and doesn't lend itself to humor. | ||

Yeah that thread was pretty stupid Torte. Baller is sort of touch and go. His posting style is funny, and sometimes the content of his posts is funny, but sometimes it's annoying. I prefer someone who can be funny, but isn't trying to be funny 100% of the time. I don't think he is "not funny" though. | ||

He wanted to learn English better so I pointed him to TeamLiquid. He was very young and didn't know much English. But he did try to create a bridge from foreign teams to korean teams. (He created the first and only Clan League for both korean and foreigner clans. He also helped create the English version of Fish server. Albeit it was taken down a few years ago.) After his account(s) had been banned I never saw him on MSN or Fish again. He English greatly improved which was fun to see as well. | ||

It's not, of course, but that is what I think of Baller's posting I wasn't trying to make a blanket statement on humor. + Show Spoiler + Don't eat me.  | ||

I saw a thread in TL Community that had a shitty oneline OP. I reported it, but only afterwards did I realize it was made five weeks ago, and was only on the first page due to a bump. Unsure of the correct avenue to take to rescind such reports, I submitted a second report on the OP's second post in the thread, apologizing for the false alarm. I realize that this mistake on my part made more work for the mods, but for future reference, how should I handle contacting mods about erroneous reports? I don't want to seem like I'm careless about reports, but I don't want you guys to puzzle over this kind of thing, either. | ||

They just ignore it, there's no way to retract it and since you don't know which staff member took it, it's hard to privately message him and say: oops my bad | ||
