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,

Have you seen CrunChers BM on ladder?
.. no?

Good riddance, he almost never posted constructively on this board (maybe elsewhere but not here) and everyone is better off without his whining.
That, and mods shouldn't have to take abuse or torrents of spam from mindless followers, it's not their job. Enforcing the forum rules is their job, and it really sickens me to see how many people don't understand that.
|
Just judging from the ban history, I'd say this ban is deserved. As for the game, I don't think Cruncher cheated truthfully, but, I don't like how he had the stream open to get in the game with him, in the first place. To me, that defeats the purpose of laddering - but, to each their own.

A thread where you get warned or banned for every comment not ripping on someone. Interesting.

That IS repeatedly, go look up the meaning of the word. You excessive fanboyish doesn't excuse Idra's behavior, and I'm surprised they didn't penalize him.

Idra would have probably been perma-banned from TL a while ago if it didn't mean he would be unable to participate in the TSLs

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.
This. Love him or hate him, those comments are par for the course for IdrA. I'm not defending IdrA for saying stuff like that but expecting anything else just makes you look silly and when you respond in kind, you're not the bigger person. This entire "feud" can and should have ended with the TSL and yet Cruncher has been actively trolling IdrA ever since, goading him about the loss, acting like he deserves to be considered as good as IdrA just because he took a couple games off him in a big tournament.

hahahahahahaha good old idra
|
lol everyone is jealous on idra specially that old guy that is boss and they banned him
but lol hes the best zerg in the world why wouldnt they be cause chill is only a jealous nerd
User was temp banned for this post.
|
I'm not personally concerned about the ban itself, because I don't think it matters as much as people want it to. IdrA can't post now, but it's not like he's contributing through his posts anyway (for the most part). His stream CAN go on, and I hope it will.
What I'm afraid of is that IdrA might turn this into a grudge between the TL mods and him. In the past I'd never have considered this possible, since both sides always stated how they were good friends with each other. But seeing how IdrA made his minions turn on Chill after the ban is a kind of personal attack, more than a dissent. I feel that IdrA crossed a line here, which does not mean I want to judge the ban itself. I just hope he doesn't widen the rift between him and the moderators of TL, e.g. by saying he won't stream anymore until he's unbanned. Which would make the fan horde go wild.
tl;dr - I don't care about the ban itself that much. I just hope the "fight" doesn't escalate.

Here is a quote from the TL 10 commandments:
" If you believe a certain ban was a mistake, you can contact a Mod through PM or in our IRC channel, but please be respectful about it."
Now, the twitter request was not entirely respectful. Again, word for word from idrajit. "i have been banned from tl for insulting cruncher, everyone pm Chill if this upsets you"
Now I still believe the second ban was 100 times more worthwhile than the first. But I'm trying to point out the grey area here to people that don't see it. It's there, I assure you TL staff is human like the rest of us.

There's a big difference between doing it in-game where tens of thousands of people are going to see it, and doing it in the lobby where a few people are gonna bring it up in the forums.
Pre-game banter isn't anything new.

well, yeah, his tweet was 'respectful'. But did you think the hordes of rabid fanboys' PMs to Chill were? And Idra should have just PM'ed Chill instead. But he just had to let his lackeys to the dirty work for him.

Idra should be perma banned he is a goddam embarresement for the sc2 community is this how we want to introduce new fans to the scene?.
He is unproffesional and acting like a child if this behavior continuoe I suggest tournament orginasations start banning him from events.

bolded the important part. im pretty sure no matter what idra wouldve said to chill himself it wouldnt have changed anything.
but he has countless mindless fanboys. he knows it, hes not stupid. telling them to pm chill no matter in what way will 100% result in something bad.
this is not acceptable in any way esp nowadays where evry random guy can get some efame with a stream or whatever. for the good of the forum in the future a action like this has to be heavily punished .

Add that with the between game statements, and you still think a is bad comparatively?

I'm actually surprised it's only 90 days. I thought it will be a perm when I saw his twitter.
