Idra Banned for 90 Days - Page 69

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.

90 days is just ridiculous. At least you gave him the option to stream here.

Do you all really have to be so melodramatic about this? He's obviously going to get banned if he tells his vast horde of mindless drones (see what I did there) to harass TL staff. If he's not an idiot he knew he would get banned when he told them to do it. It's not even that big of a deal.

Much ado about nothing, in my opinion. I wouldn't miss IdrA, Cruncher, or anyone else involved in this as far as the game is concerned. Since the mods believe the ban is justified, more power to them, since it seems like IdrA's a bent on trolling everyone, lately (see SotG).

tell me what TL did wrong?

they are more easy on idra. this is a fact.

idra crossed the line and got a tiny 2day ban. something you have to do to keep your forum ontrack and avoid evryone writing crap cause "idra did it too!".

idra instead of taking it like evryone else would did a HUGE no go with rallying people against a TL mod. it mightve been a misunderstanding at first but then told em "fu whatever". behavior like this is just not acceptable at all and has to be punished .

and no matter what he intended with that, the stupid sentence "with great power comes great responsibility" is very true here. idra is not stupid. he knows that this is a nogo and can easily get out of hand when he tells his hordes of fanboys something like that.



at evry step TL followed its guidelines and did the correct thing to ensure stuff like that doesnt happen again which is important for the future of this forum or soon we have evry 500 viewer stream guy trying to do the same.


i like idra. he acted stupid here and TL reacted. so he got a 90day ban. then he will post again and evrything is like it was before. no one to blame but him and no big deal at all.

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

no he don't want to apologize, he wants the perm ban :-|

source: http://twitter.com/#!/idrajit


Wait Wait Wait... This got IdrA 90 days?

Okay, I have to slightly disagree with the decision made. Yes, what he initially said deserves a ban. But the justification was that IdrA had all his fans spam Chill's box from his Twitter account.

I see nothing wrong with what IdrA posted here... He does not ask his fans to berate Chill, just send him a PM if you think the temp ban upsets you. Now, I guarantee there were at least 50 or so people that took it to the next level but that should not give reason to up the ban from my perspective.

And, for those that do not think what Cruncher did was wrong... I have to COMPLETELY disagree. If you think he was ghosting, what's not to stop him from at the 5 minute mark to alt + tab check Idra's stream and then get back in game... 15 seconds you know exactly what is coming.

It's like people saying I have used MH in the past but do not anymore. No way you believe them.

TL:DR IdrA deserved a ban but do not think the 90 day post decision was made without slight bias.

If I get a speeding ticket and I think it's totally unfair, not because I wasn't driving too fast but because I think I should be allowed to break the speed limit, then I don't train hundreds of monkeys to go to the house of the police officer who enforced the law and hurl shit. Instead I use the established structures within society to try and reform the law or move to another country with laws I prefer.


Come on. I haven't even read past this post but I can't believe this analogy hasn't been thrown under a bus already by half a dozen people. You could just as easily make the analogy that this was nothing more than a peaceful protest akin to a petition delivered to a lawmaker's doorstep.

In reality it is somewhere in between. But to say Idra is the only person at fault here is just having blinders on.


Chill is not the lawmaker, just the enforcer. So no, the reality is nothing in between.


Simply not true. Everyone here realizes all bans/warnings are open to interpretation. Sometimes people get banned for extremely trivial things and some people are warned for more serious ones. Chill is not an automaton, therefore he is open to influence.


Responding to this, was Chill even the one who handed down the 90day ban? I followed the drama from the 2 day temp ban and Chill was fully aware of Idra's tweet. In the Idra stream thread he was even updating us on how many pm's he was getting. Didn't seem like he was going to escalate the matter any further. So posters here should stop jumping on the poor bloke

I haven't read through this entire thread because I would be here all night, so I apologize if this has already been discussed and answered.

East germany style... What you're writing there is pretty ridiculous. You should rather be happy with the strict rules TL has. The amount of trolling and stupidity you find on other sites makes me sick. On TL you doesnt have to waste your time reading one rubbish post after the other.
It's pretty funny. People don't even realize why the rules are so strict. It's to keep a high standard.

No need to lie to get your point across.

No need to incorrectly call someone a liar when you aren't fully informed.


I see 2 very short comments. Wheres the 'repeated' provocation you were talking about? I was already aware of those 2 and I'm curious as to what else was said.
As far as I'm aware the definition of repeated is more than once so I'm not sure why you're scare quoting him as if he misused the word or implied something that wasn't entirely represented by the pictures. I'm also curious if he said anything else, though, but I find it especially pathetic to trash talk in the lobby. Ceremonies and celebrations are one thing but this kind of stuff is harmful to a professional image.

I'm not sure what the big deal here is. IIRC if you are temp banned on TL you can still receive and send messages as well as set your stream to "on" and "off" but you cannont make posts.

What's the big deal? I mean how many times does IdrA actually post something useful besides little comments towards people he dislikes?

I'm pretty sure IdrA couldn't care less and wanted to see how TL would react to his comments.

IdrA recieving a 90 day ban is understandable. Saying someone isn't deserving of their life is not something you want to post on TL, imo. IdrA would benefit from being a little more cold and indifferent, and a little less hot and bothered, towards players he obviously has no respect for.

On the other hand, what I do not seem to fathom are the lack of actions towards cruncher. I believe Nazgul wrote in this thread that there weren't definite proof. Weren't there screenshots of the incident, or am I wrong?

And also Chill, if you wouldn't be upset about a stream ghoster taking you out, that is mighty forgiving of you. Seeing as how it hurts yourself, your fans, and in a long-term perspective if stream ghosters are allowed to roam free: The community itself.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/repeatedly

Now, did I lie? Does it matter how long his comments were? I know I said "in-game", but just for reference, he said this in a pre-match interview:

"Q: Your first round opponent is a relatively unknown player - Cruncher. What are your thoughts about him?

I'm approaching the match as if it were a walkover.

Q: Are you confident you can beat him? Do you expect him to do any risky strategies against you?

Yes, he's going to 4 gate all-in both games unless he decides to be clever and make voidrays or DTs."

EDIT: Just realized you're a different poster from the one who first replied to my initial post. Sorry for a bit of hostile tone.

Anyone against this ban is a troll.

Im an IdrA fan. The ban is deserved.

He's broken the rules more than anyone else. He's lucky he's not perma'd.

I dare anyone in this thread to post the way IdrA does, see if you don't have to go through 20 proxies in a week.

I agree maybe he should be banned for a bit more than 2 days but not 90 f**king days seriously


He got a 30 day ban back in february or so I think, and his behaviour hasn't changed since.

It was a good thing of TL to up the punishment this time.

The screenshots are inconclusive. In addition, Cruncher released the replay and it's an identical strategy to games he has played previously. The Zealots are acquired to pressure Zergs that take a quick third. If he was ghosting, he would've gotten Cannons instead.

Looking at his ban history, it's unbelievably clear that idrA is abusing his power as a recognisable and popular public figure to do whatever he pleases on TL.net... It perfectly natural that the mods would ban him for this sort of thing, it's not like it his first time.

He didn't change at all after each of his temp bans. He kept posting the same sort of rhetoric he always does. 90 days though is longer than anything I've seen him ever get before. Maybe he'll get the message this time?

I hope he doesn't stop streaming because of this...

I'd ban him forever, it's not like he writes guides, or have some elaborate opinions. His posts are made for the sole purpose of money, he must maintain his bad reputation and entertain his 14 year old fanboys.

Maybe so, TL may experience a small dwindling in the number of visitors, but I for one wouldn't mind seeing teenager fanboys with hormonal problems and empty brains post somewhere else. This community used to be cool when it was BW only, nowadays the post quality here
resembles a lot more websites like sherdog.com.

This situation sux. No winners here just losers. And the community loses the most in my opinion. I don't agree with Idra's attitude but I also don't agree with the TLstaff on this one. I can only conclude that we are not getting the full story of what happened behind the scenes. The staff knows Idra well enough to predict his reaction. He felt wronged and Idra will never hide is opinion or apologise for something he feels is not wrong. W/e your oppion is on the matter, nobody expected Idra to react any differently than he did. The whole asking for an apology is just a scapegoat to give him a 90 days ban otherwise the community would not have accepted this ban.
Also I feel like the context is lost here. Idra was streaming with commentary as a reward towards his fans for the 20k viewers on SotG. Fans felt wronged in being taken away there prize and Idra cunningly directed that towards the TL staff. Agreed, Idra could have just streamed nonetheless but I personally wouldn't let a site profit from my viewers if I am on bad footing with that site at the time. Again I don't understand why TL would let his stream up? It is to not infuriate the masses even more I guess or to keep a back door open: "look he can still stream if he wants, direct your anger towards him". I feel like TL is trying to have the cake and eat it. Constructing a situation where all the fault can be directed towards Idra.
Again I don't agree with Idra either but I feel there is an inconsistency in the way TL handled this. Either ban everything including the stream or don't ban at all.
