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.

What success was that? Rotting in the B-team of BW teams for a couple of years and winning a few small time mostly amateur tournaments. Wooo what a superstar


if this was said about lets say any TLAF'Liquid player, i think ban would be given? will it for Idra?


Yes, flaming on both sides will be banned. Infinity2k9 should be hit with a ban hammer pretty soon, if this is integrity we're talking about.

Look at your post, now think really hard, look at the ceiling, look back at your post. Do you still agree with your statement?



Yes.

What is non-logical with that ?

TL ban people for things they dont do on the forum (which is stupid). As such they should have been banned. Just following the rules.


Because suggesting his fans to harass a TL mod via TL is not related to the forum? Yea right...

Exactly. Idra is nowhere near as accomplished or good as his fan club and him think. In fact, I'd venture a guess and say that this mindset is WHY he doesn't do as well as he could. He obviously has very good mechanics, but when everything is always everyone elses fault (eg 'you got lucky', 'your race is overpowered') it just shows that he doesn't have a winning mentality. We all know these type of people in real life who blame everyone and everything but themselves... and they are the ones that never succeed.

Either way, I can't see how anyone can defend him on this. Telling people to harass a moderator and sticking to it is asking for a perm ban if anything.

Sorry if this has been said before but I really don't have time to go reading through all 35 pages but I do think the 2 day original ban just wasn't needed at all. Idra is quite BM on ladder anyway and when he calls Cruncher trash it just seems like it's another way of BM for idra. I could see if Idra was posting a bunch of stuff on forums saying how bad Cruncher was that a ban would be needed but for something he said on his stream I think that is a little overboard.

As for the 90 day ban, yes it is kind of harass towards chill especially with how people online will do it, they'll log into their 5 different accounts and send the same thing, or just spam random crap in the PM. But you've got to think that Idra was doing this streaming/commentating for team liquid fans and then because he calls a player trash, he gets banned. It's almost why stream for TL if you are going to get banned for voicing your opinion.

It could go back and forth constantly deciding who handled it better/worse, although I still think a 90 day ban is extremely steep and should probably be rethought out.

i fully understand that this is TL's sc2 forum, and you guys have the absolute power, but cant you guys settle things with a warmer method?? at least use some less provoking methods so that you dont cause more rages/angst from people/fans??

if you look at the whole thing, nobody is a winner.


This has been said 1000 time but:

IdrA was approached by the mods and said he had no regrets or an apology to give. So do you still think he did not intend for people to spam Chill?


the logic goes like this:

1.idra's joke lines on twitter-> he did or didnt mean to cause the harm, nobody can tell. either way, if the (immature) fans go harass/spam Chill, their actions are not within his responsibility.

2.TL accuses idra for 'encouraged his fans to harass and spam Chill on TL' -> TL's verdict: idra is guilty for all these spam/harass.

if idra did 'apologize', he would be automatically admitting that he 'intended' to cause the harm. if you were idra, would you 'apologize' (over nothing but just to please TL)??

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?

You're just being stubborn. It was quite obvious that cruncher knew what idra was doing and he prepared perfectly for it. I don't see how cruncher being connected to idra's stream isn't proof enough. If he wasn't cheating and cared to avoid any accusations he would have closed the stream as soon as he was matched with idra.

How is that obvious? I've played and seen hundreds of games where someone seems completely prepared, just because of luck or intuition. Just because someone looks ready doesn't mean they were cheating.

I see nothing wrong with using the stream to join at the same time as Idra, then minimizing it. What's the difference between having it open and minimized?

The difference is that it's pretty common for people to have dual monitors and CrunCher is OBVIOUSLY not going to admit to cheating. It's totally expected for him to say he had it minimized and muted because it was already proven that he was connected to the stream so it's not like he could deny that part. He lied about what cannot be proven/disproven. Him and IdrA have a grudge and IdrA constantly beats and BMs CrunCher. There's your motive. IdrA had every right to be angry about the situation, and banning him for something like this is totally unreasonable and biased towards CrunCher.

Innocent until proven guilty. Thats as fair as it gets. If Cruncher received a ban for this with no hard evidence of the fact, then tons of other people would be in an uproar saying how unjust and unfair it is.

Shouldn't they ban huk then? Huk bmed idra at mlg on shattered temple, making him upset DURING a set. Something like that is NOT acceptable.
But then again, huk is on teamliquid, so he has super priviliges.

Nazgul also bmed idra at mlg dallas. + Show Spoiler +
"You got blinked
during a set is not acceptable either.
But then again, nazgul is on teamliquid, so he has super priviliges.

NICE MODERATION

User was temp banned for this post.

How can you compare that to this? "You got blinked" is no where near the degree of bm that calling someone a waste of life is. On top of that Nazgul and Huk said that in a game, not in the forums where it is against the rules to insult people in such ways.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

No need to be afraid of him not streaming. He craves attention, as big stream numbers means big cassh.

Also, How can anyone actually still like this guy, as a fan? He's a good player, but his behaviour is simply childish and ignorant. Wich is easily proven by the insane ammount of times he's been banned on TL. Go figure. I guess he realises it brings in mad fans and keeps up the show for the masses, it's like a spoiled kid who keep screaming cause he knows mom will buy him icecream in the end.

I have a huge respect for team liquid and how they do things and what I am seeing now is a childish fight between idra and the mods.

Before----TL Mods >>>>> Idra
Now---- TL Mods = Idra

=/ Life goes on I guess....

considering other users, this is a very kind sentance. though i will miss idra ):
@Neeh you are overreacting and have obviously something against him.

I dont see it that way, none of the banlogs I read stated the reason for banning was not related directly to TL or its Staff. Besides I dont know of any rules about people being allowed to trashtalk in a game on their userstream when featured on TL.

Idra has been especially prone to making rash statements and thinking he's in the right, like in the last SotG. This sort of thing was a long time coming. It's good to see TL can still take the high road.


Rash statements? They were clear points.

I would say, sorry for this unintended consequence. It was a funny post I did while being grumpy and I didn't mean for people to spam Chill.

This shows he didn't mean for it to do that while also showing he didn't want chill to get spammed. He also doesn't admit that was his intention. It took me ~10 seconds to think up, Idra is most likely smarter than me.

Really, if you think about it, if Cruncher's body really was a so-called "waste of life"... What would it be like if Cruncher's life was somewhere else? In the body of some kind, gentle samaritan who lives a normal, everyday life...

.... No, wait, he'd probably be exactly the same. Really, nothing about this makes sense to me, starting from Idra's insult, to Chill's reaction (as well as the treatment of Cruncher) and the first ban.

I mean, are you moderators sure you aren't making the decisions you are because you know how Idra acts, and you let that get in the way?
Nevermind.
