As long as I am expressing a valid opinion and I'm not insulting someone directly, everything should be fine. And that ad hominem attack is the biggest bullshit ever. Half the bans are given behind that facade. What is an ad hominem attack? How can you attack the post without attacking / implying an attack on the poster? If you say a post is superficial for example, doesn't that automatically mean that the poster is kinda superficial? One of my bans was because I said someone's memory doesn't serve him right. How is that ad hominem enough to justify a ban? As I said, my posting alone is not the issue, but it might be the reason for this discussion. I have been surfing TL for a long time and every day I used to see people getting warned or banned for the most inoffensive posts. Not to mention mods having the time and resources to actually track down and ban people who just make a random post on huge 3 pages an hour topics. Which gave me the impression that the manpower and resources dedicated to this cause is well beyond overkill. I don't have the ~6-8 hours to make a comprehensive collection of all the bans I consider gratuitous, but keep an eye out for it when surfing TL and you might notice it too. You don't want to have to make sure you talk in a certain way? Welcome to this weird little thing we call the real world. You're always going to have to watch what you say to a certain extent, with the specifics depending on where you are. Keeping your words in check is part of life, tough shit. As for what's acceptable on TL and what isn't, if you disagree with the moderation policy, make your own site, with it's own rules, and watch it promptly turn into an unmoderated shitfest that nobody worth a damn visits. An ad hominem attack, since you asked, is attacking a person to discredit their argument. Example: If you're so stupid you don't even know what an ad hominem attack is, you don't have the brains to understand why TL moderates so heavily. See that? It's bad debating, and non-contributory. I didn't provide you with any rational argument, I just insulted you to try and make your complaint look bad. That's not how adults (are supposed to) talk. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=240225¤tpage=54#1076 + Show Spoiler + Herp Derp. I wish reddit and the Internet itself was more like TL: uptight mods with carrots up their asses, harsh warnings and bans all over the place, everyone considered a troll and every post considered flame http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=263411#14 + Show Spoiler + I hope I don't get banned for this Combined with incessant country bashing and stereotyping.And calling a large group of people "retarded". Don't insult the mentally handicapped by lumping them with people you dislike as a placeholder for debate. Your two bans. Neither of those is for saying someone's memory didn't serve him right. | ||

My guess would be because it's at least criticizing specific well documented behavior, even if he did a shitty job of wording it. But I was wondering the same, TBH. No longer pure bashing when he's at least talking about something that can be reasonably argued against. | ||

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.
