Idra Banned for 90 Days - Page 37

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.

So Idra tells his army to PM chill. So what, noone can prove what his intentions were. Idra can't send PMs himself, so he asks for someone else to complain for him. Now, we're speaking of 15k viewers backing up his belief cruncher was a cheat, and that Idra's post showed an accurate position on Cruncher's actions.

Not hard to see why people are unhappy Idra is the one being punished, being silenced, and being unable to express his personality and emotions. This 90 day ban is made out of spite, and because of the staff's pride.

First, he can PM mods. Anyone can, even when banned.

Second, it's NOT made out of spite. If you read the OP, you would have understood that the admins talked directly with IdrA and banned him after they failed to come to a resolution. In fact, they said all IdrA needed to do to not get banned was to apologize.

Yes.

In his stream thread.


Then definitely ban worthy. You can't be a professional and get away with calling someone that.
(I was confused because some people were saying it was in game, where it'd still be bad, but nothing TL could do about it)

TL's triggerhappy mods at it again. Mildly amusing to follow. Incidentally I had no idea he was banned for a whole month this year and that pretty much proves how little effect this has.

Even if Idra *did* get permabanned from the site, what would change? He hardly posts anything important and could just continue playing, and people would still talk about him all the time. It's not like people are going to ignore the most successful foreigner, even if he acts like an ass.


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.


All i said was the truth, stop being babies. There's been much worse threads about IdrA before: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=88342

The fact that it is the truth doesn't mean it isn't stupid. If being in a koean B-Team is no accomplishment for you, so be it (although I have to say it is pretty stupid), but no foreigner made it ever farther than that. Idra was clearly the best non korean Brood War player for the last years, whether you like it or not.

Well, mods insult people from time to time, stuff that's worse than "waste of life" too.

Regular users too, but there is always the possibility it was just overlooked.


What I don't understand is how this deserves it's own thread. There's a thread for discussing bans. Right below this one.
I guess someone wants to show how incredibly justified this is supposed to be. And cause more drama on the way. Yay for more drama.

with that "statement" you insulted players like select, kiwikaki and others that idra just recently beat to win IPL (who you reffered to in your post as "amateur tournament")

so again, if u said anything similar about lets say liquid'jinro, u would be banned. lets see if same rules apply for insulting idra.

edit: indeed it was a temp ban. fair on both sides and very swift, tl moderators ftw keep up the good work

I have so many mixed feelings about this and I do not have all the facts. I cannot take a definite side one way or another and I do not understand how any rational person can make a 100% accurate assessment on this. TL mods are entitled to ban decisions (especially one like this that is being reviewed by multiple people), so I don't think going beyond civilized disagreement will be profitable at all.

Still, I personally felt idra had some entitlement to be publicly mad at cruncher. Giving analysis while playing games for an entire week was something I craved from idra, so I am trying to not make this opinion centered on what I want. Putting myself in idra's shoes, if I had been streaming and analyzing and this professional who I care very little about is matched with me, plays suspiciously and then is found out to have had my stream open, even if it was muted and minimized, I would get very angry. I would say things that idra says probably. And I think I would have to much pride to apologize to such a person.

I think the subject should be dropped. I would unban idra and tell him never to talk about the incident again publicly, and discuss with the mods exactly the certain proof he had on cruncher's offense. I don't think its a maturity thing, I think it's a matter of pride. As a gaming icon, telling idra to swallow his pride is not something he will do to make everyone happy if it gives him the reverse reputation. He has enough adamant followers and fans to warrant this. I'll try to distance myself from that crew, but I can't say I don't love Idra for his bad manner. I'm not downplaying him here, I like his attitude and the fact that he doesn't adhere to manner.

But do what you need to do TL. I will always respect the decisions this site makes.

Believe so.

To be fair, IdrA was streaming and had TWO games against Cruncher, and both games Cruncher9 was in the user room viewing the stream while playing against IdrA.

I feel IdrA was justified in his insult, maybe the insult was a little too harsh.

Although, a ninety day ban for saying: "wont be streaming for 2 days as i have been banned from tl for insulting cruncher, everyone pm Chill if this upsets you" isn't really a call for harassment. I dunno.

Seems thinly veiled to me.

No, there is a thread for it because otherwise, the hundreds of posts on the subject would be spread out all over the forum instead of minimized to one thread.

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.


just regarding you response to scrim (since he is banned now he cant reply), the bm matter is pretty subjective. you cant say 'no where near the degree of bm that calling someone a waste of life is.' since you and me or anybody are not Nazgul/Huk/Idra. different people react differently to different bm.

and your last line seems suggests that 'if you are doing bm in game but not on forum, you are fine'? then you seems to forget that this is a gaming forum. in the end of the day tho, bm is bm.

To make it all worse. TL decides that they need to make a thread about it..

Idra didn't tell anyone to harass you, he told them to contact you about the ban. It's funny how you think cheating on the ladder is no big deal.

twitter:
"wont be streaming for 2 days as i have been banned from tl for insulting cruncher, everyone pm Chill if this upsets you"

I think things like this need to be added to the OP, pretty one-sided. maybe give the whole story?

There's nothing wrong with joining the ladder at the same time as someone else. What action could we possibly take against that?


So if you were streaming, and you got matched up against idra, and he magically knew everything you were doing only to find out later that he was checking your stream to see everything you were doing, you wouldn't have any problem with that?

No.


This is honestly ridiculous.

How is that ok in anyway?


I wonder why this hasn't been addressed in any way too.
