Idra Banned for 90 Days - Page 25

Hello, all!

It's become quite apparent that many of you are not reading the first post carefully.

Failure to do so in the future will be met with swift punishment. And as always, remember to be civil.

Thanks,

Empyrean. Time stamp: 03:59 KST.

IMO, Idra BMing Cruncher seems fairly equivalent to Cruncher using the stream to snipe Idra.

Whether or not Cruncher was also using the stream to cheat is also something we don't know 100%.

Idra's 90 day ban however is predicated on the assumption that Idra knew he could still stream regardless of the ban. This is not something we know 100%. Granted, the 90-day ban was partially based on Idra's failure to apologize in a discussion with Mods, but if Idra strongly suspected Cruncher to be cheating, its pretty easy to see how he feels the ban is unjustified. -- its just as likely that his request to get people to PM mods via twitter is an attempt to out Idra's side of the story with additional evidence/points of view, since he likely feels the mods don't really listen to his perspective.

In the end its a ridiculously tough call, but given the situation, Cruncher's actions off-site are at least equivalent to Idra's prior to his 2day.

Oh no in my first post I said I completely understood the reason for the ban. I'm not saying it's not right or not in TL's rightful authority to give idra this 90day ban.

My issue is that I feel like both idra and cruncher are in the wrong here. If it's Chill's opinion that stream ghosting isn't a punishable offense, then he doesn't see cruncher as being in the wrong. That's also completely fine, but this sets the precedent that TL can't punish anyone for ghosting a TL member's stream while claiming objectivity.

You haven't been reading. Ghosting is not fine. There is no reason to assume Cruncher was ghosting, and even less proof of it.


Then go get the fucking replay of the game and analyze it.

Don't care enough to do so? Well, then your kind of moderation is horrible because there could be your damn proof but you aren't investigating it.
IdrA won't release it? Go ask cruncher, he wasn't doing it after all, he shouldn't have any reason not to release it.

Analyse what? What would you possibly find in a replay that would definitively prove that he was watching Idra's stream?


I love this conversation. He admitted to queue sniping, he has 2 monitors to see Idras stream while playing, his play was exactly counter to IdrA's play exactly. Every single piece of "evidence" you need to believe someone was cheating is there, but because Chill wasn't there to see it in first person i guess (Cuz that's the only thing that will convince him) he won't do anything.

I guess if that's your stance, what proves Idra posted that stuff on TL? Or on Twitter? WHat's your proof? Someone else could have said those things on his account, you didn't see it first hand, you can't PROVE it.

Bias is the name of the game.

I don't even like IdrA. I think he's bad for the game, but Chill makes me defend him because of the terribly bias comments and actions.

To quote someone else in this thread: Whats wrong with telling people to confront moderators if they're banned? When someone tells the masses to write a letter to their congressman because they're upset with something they should be "banned"?


stream sniping, making sure you eat healthy, and packing your lunch are not responsibilities of TL mods but making sure their forums are civil is one of their responsibilities. If idra wants to confront cruncher, he can do via other ways then using the TL forums to grack attack him. Even if cruncher did snipe, then it's not up to TL mods to punish.

They confronted idra about his actions, that's how they proved it was him; he stated he didn't feel bad about his behavior.

If you honestly think that Idra will stop posting his stream on TL, you're one stupid guy. I wonder how many viewers stare at Twitter waiting for Idra to say hes going to start streaming. I wonder how many wait for the usual time for him to stream and then watch him. And then I wonder how many during primetime TL see his name on the Streams List and then say "hey, Cellas/Day9/etc not on, guess I'll watch him".

It's Idras own fault that he continues to act the way he does and thinks he won't be in trouble for it. I'm personally glad that this happened, hopefully he'll learn his lesson.

I completely understand banning idra for his incendiary behavior, but has Team Liquid taken any action to punish Cruncher for ghosting idra's stream, which was the thing that started this whole mess? Does teamliquid have any kind of statement in regards to that?


Well considering TL had no part in their game, why would they care? Korean pros do not stream for this reason (and many others), he should take it into consideration.

Also I would sign a petition for the Idra's pun thread back :D.

Good decision TL. Even though I really like IdrA, this was the right decision to do. TL always have been coherent and consistent with his decision, IdrA shouldnt be an exception. TL is doing a great job trying to preserve the quality of the forum.

I wouldn't say Idra was "encouraged" so much as said "if you want to know why I'm banned, PM Chill"

Encourage would be like "Yo, all spam Chill w/ PM's until he unbans me."

Whatever, I hope Idra just mans up and apologizes next time. Because the people missing out are the community members.

Complete bullshit. Heres the actual quote:
"wont be streaming for 2 days as i have been banned from tl for insulting cruncher, everyone pm Chill if this upsets you"

Dont try to spin that shit. Thats definitely "encouraging" his little band of sycophants to harass Chill.



nowhere in there does he say to spam/harrass.

You are the one spinning it into something it doesnt say because you want it to?

Can a post get more ironic than this?

You are amazingly snide for someone who cant think past the shallowest layer of the situation.

If you tell all of your followers to PM the person who banned you, what the fuck do you think is gonna happen?

Also, for what reason would Idra want his little flunkies to PM Chill? You think his intent was to get people to ask nicely for an unban? Of course not. If he tells "Everyone" to PM Chill, his intent is to spam Chill to coerce him for an unban.

Try to get some critical thinking skills here.


Well you did just insult every person who's behind Idra in this situation.

Considering the logic here, that's a bannable offense.

Yes please

The mods have been more than accommodating to IdrA in the long run. As much as I get the occasional kick out of watching him be the bad boy, it's completely understandable when the banhammer is used justly. He's certainly not above the law.

Besides, Chill's the man.

And what Cruncher does has nothing to do with what IdrA did to Chill, as far as I know.

I don't really see the problem. Cruncher cheated, Idra was (understandably) upset about it.

Chill temp banned and Idra told people to PM him if they have questions or a problem with it.

Did Chill just not like that people think he made a bad call? I'm new to the community, but I don't think having your community be pro-cheater is good for a pro-gaming team.

Do you?


the reason he was banned has very little to do with Cruncher. Idra was upset and insulted cruncher, and on this site, it's pretty clear that attacking any individual is not acceptable. Chill responded according to the expectations of the moderation team and Idra, then decided to attack chill indirectly by telling people to spam chill. After all of that he refused to recognize his error and the decision was made that a 90 day ban would be in the best interest of maintaining the environment TL mods are striving for.


Idra wasn't upset, he told everyone to forget about Cruncher then proceeding to put in the "waste of life" comment.

Here's the so called "stream cheating" game where apparently cruncher "blindly counters" idra by building zealots and not adding cannons against a roach push.

(This is sarcasm, zealots are not good against roaches, they are actually good for aggression vs early 3rd ling expands, the only thing he could blind counter in that game if he cheated, he didn't blind counter)


You can use the zealots to chase the roaches back from the cannons so they don't get focused down while they shoot the roaches. I'm not supporting Idra but I'm just putting some logic behind the zealots.

It's standard procedure to leave the stream open when sniping its player. When the game is over, simply remove mute and listen to the commentary. If the stream is closed, the initial advertisement is very likely to destroy the chance to hear the full commentary.


+1 @ that. I know about 10 finns who've done this exact same, when some "famous" players or just people who stream a lot have laddered (Idra/grubby mostly). It doesn't include watching or listening to stream, you just have to have it on for sniping, and as said muting makes reopening it faster because everybody want to hear what you're being spoken in stream after you've beat the hell out of the streamer

TL has some balls to ban him 90 days.

What if EG + NASL turns against TL? TL just threw the first stone, bad bad idea. Never bite the hand, which feeds you.

TL moderation doesn't have a good reputation atm, as well as current bad situation between EG and TL - I would never try to provoke like this. It's a catalyst!

seriously 3 month is a bit too much... I understand that you can not tolerate harassment of mods, but still its the TL users who messages chill not idra himself. I feel like the guys who pm chill should get warned / banned not idra himself for for the actions of others even though he encouraged them to do so. Everyone is responsible for his own actions...

.. i find it kinda sad actually :-[ as TL is pretty mucht he only way to get in contact with the top the top players

I play RS once in awhile and I thought they were immature. A 90 day ban for him complaining about an obvious stream cheater and telling people to pm chill if they have a problem?

Obviously Chill would be pissed if people sniped/stream cheated playing him, he's just too immature to admit it.

TL has to back up their posse though whether they are right or WRONG.

First of all, if Cruncher is proven to have cheated, we will take action. We have no problem taking action against even the most high profile of players (ex. Dimaga and TSL2/3) but try to do so with careful deliberation. Please do not think our actions here are simply us spitefully swinging a banhammer. You'd be surprised by the pages of discussions we have of actions that involve high-profile community members, Idra included.

Also, regarding the "harassing".

I feel the 2 day ban was justified. Calling someone a waste a life is pretty low and should be punished. All fine and dandy, what I am not ok with is punishing someone for something they said outside of the forums. Idra didn't tell anyone to harass Chill, Idra said and I quote "wont be streaming for 2 days as i have been banned from tl for insulting cruncher, everyone pm Chill if this upsets you." Yes he did tell his fans to PM Chill, did he tell them to insult him or harass him? No he didnt and I'm sorry but if mods can't handle getting PMs from people maybe they should reconsider being mods.



Idra on his twitter tried to imply that by being banned, he could no longer stream. That was false. And if we assume he knew it was also false (he probably did), we can then assume that he was maliciously misleading his thousands of twitter followers into a rage against Chill. Thus I think it is fair to say Idra did encourage his fans to go harass Chill.


Why are you requiring "proof" to take action against Cruncher while simultaneously allowing your assumption to be the basis of Idra's 90 day ban?


The ban reason clearly states that Nazgul has spoken with IdrA and he did not apologise or regret his behaviour, actions or what resulted from it.
