Why always so quick with the warnings and bans? It's like half the topics on TL have at least one warning / ban every 3 pages. Needless to say most of them only make sense for the mods themselves.


I can't think of a single ban that I haven't understood, even my own ban I thought was very justified. It's very simple, don't post like a dick or do things like post memes, terrible one-liners etc.. and you won't get banned? As far as I understand anyway It's not really my role to answer questions like these, but I don't think the mods are ban-happy or anything, it's just that TL has some of the best moderation on the internet and will crack down fast and show people the consequences of their actions.

edit: Not to be an ass, really, but going through your recent posting I'm not surprised to see a temp and a warning >,< explains this post a bit more.



My posting is not the issue here, though I will more than gladly talk about it via PM. Some of my bans were justified, some were overeager, some were overextended and some had lackluster justification. I agree that my views on moderation are more on the lenient side, but I have been lurking for the past ~3 years just because I felt TL had a certain fascist allure.
Sure, as long as everyone shared the same opinion, was exceedingly polite, jovial and politically correct, things were fine. But express an opinion without sugar coating it and making sure no one on the Internet will get their e-feelings slightly hurt, and you will get smacked in the face. And once you get smacked once, you are a troll and every post you make is a flame.


This is a load of shit. I'm TL's biggest mostly surviving asshole. It's not about being blunt or direct, or any of that. It's about timing, and whether you're escalating a situation or responding reasonably. I'm at just over 0.1% moderated posts, and a lot of mine are way harsher than yours. I just do it better. Learn how to attack the post instead of the poster, avoid ad hominem attacks, and don't insult the mentally handicapped by calling morons retarded.

Your posting IS the issue here, because other people do it different and don't get in trouble.

Out of curiosity, if your posting isn't the issue, who's posting is getting you moderated incessantly so that you feel the need to complain about it?

Eh, I do sound kind of egotistical claiming top spot like that. But I should at least make the top 5. And the point still stands.

By admitting, you show leniency and understanding.

Am i out of the running for top 5?

And Holy Check, it's fairly clear that you have a problem with your bans and your posts specifically. If you really really feel like you were being treated unfairly, and if you can express it without being passive-aggressive or sounding bitter, you should go to website feedback, probably. As opposed to basically asking why dum posts get people banned.

My assholeishness comes from a weird combination of arrogance and objectivity. But since I take pride in being an asshole, I can admit to not being the biggest asshole without hurting my reputation at all.

Mostly, yeah. Occasionally delve into blogs, although less now that my blogging happens elsewhere. And some sports and games stuff. Some community. The rest I just read, really.

How are Stride, Protoss and TheRooR top random 3v3 and random 4v4 with such crazy W/L records? Win trading? Some kind of hack?

IdrA just showed the best manner he's ever done EVER. At least non-sarcastically. I seriously think Inc was right and his mindset has changed for the better.

My question is, will this somehow make people post banworthy posts in the LR?

My question is this:
Does anyone get paid for what they do for the site? I assume the players have some sort of income but what about the admins and writers? Is it all volunteers?

Most of the mods/banlings/contributors are volunteers, and don't get paid. Not entirely sure with the admins or some of the more veteran moderators.

Who's the worst poster in TL history? Not the most bans, but the person who was the worst before being utterly banished from TL for eternity, and who the mods would hope they never see post again? Also, not just some guy with two posts, but someone who managed to stick around for a while, for example by skirting the rules, but still being utterly terrible.

Aeres why are you banned

chobo.


Aeres was just temp banned for 2 days by Ares[Effort].

That account was created on 2010-07-16 05:22:24 and had 3029 posts.

Reason: thought he was better than me?


zzzz

Anyway mods do make questionable decisions sometimes, why?because they are human
