TL actually took away the only leg he has to stand on, by removing the adds. Him being "featured" just makes it easier for people to watch his stream. If anything, they're doing him a favor. The leg I'm referring to is the inconstancy and duality in the decision. If they are doing him a favour why do it? If they are not doing him a favour then they are only fuelling the dispute between Idra and TL. | ||

I never understood the idea behind banning/warning people. every other site just deletes the posts that are against the rules or offensive. Here, we bring special attention to it with big red marks and make drama out of everything. Here stupid inappropriate behavior is marked out as a big "NOTICE" sign for newcomers and other people to clarify that this sort of behavior is not welcome here. It's not to bring drama. TL is surprisingly lenient on their permanent bans if you think about it, only the obvious trolls that are trying to create drama or show utter disrespect towards the community get banned, usually they get a warning first. | ||

Had he said something directly on www.TeamLiquid.net Chill and the other mods should have put it in their note saying he got banned. As their own Tyler made clear on SOTG, they need to be telling both sides of the story, ala: Idra did/said/posted XYZ (specifics) on www.TeamLiquid.com NOT on Justin/Twitter/another media we control. As a result we chose to ban him. More people are upset because they see Chill banning Idra for something he did on Justin, the Ladder or Twitter. NOT on a TL operated site. Surely Chill/TeamLiquid do not believe they control Justin.tv, Twitter or any other non-team-liquid associated website or media. Yes it may have been dumb for Idra to send people from Twitter to TeamLiquid to spam Chill... but he did this only after being banned by Chill. I could understand the ban resulting from sending people to a TL controlled media preemptively, but this isn't the case. Then, HotBid came out and said if they could find definitive proof of Cruncher "cheating" on the ladder/stream they would take action. My question is - what action could they possibly take within their jurisdiction for something that happens/occurs on Battle.net - a media they do not control, operate or have affiliations with. Banning Cruncher for cheating on the ladder would be just as bad as banning Idra for something he said on Twitter or Justin.tv I don't have a link for it but it has been stated several times the original 2 day ban(Not his first btw...) was for calling Cruncher a wasted life etc. whether that is deserving of a ban or not is debatable i guess. But no matter What media he does it on promoting people to spam/send hate mail to a MOD on THIS site is unacceptable! I don't understand how Idra fanboys can be so god damn blind, He should have been banned a long time ago for his behavior and surely if anyone else did this it would be a perma ban! | ||

As for IdrA being banned, he definitely deserved it. It's not like Cruncher was ghosting in a tournament or something. Ladder is fair game for whatever. That's not TL's responsibility at all. | ||

I know that WoW is not liked a lot around here, but on the ElitistJerks forums, which are pretty much the only source for high level WoW information on raiding, gearing etc., you get banned for having poor grammar, spelling or too little content in your posts. Of course this drastically lowers the amount of content being produced, but the posts that get through the check are most of the time useful and valueable. Personally I agree with TL's move regarding Idra. | ||

I'm pretty sure that Idra wouldn't have been banned if he had just cooled his nerd rage slightly. I completely understand TL saying that it draws a line at saying that an individual has no right to live. It had nothing to do with Cruncher cheating or trying to manipulate Idra Reason 2 Again, the mods just said that Idra went over the line. Idra, with his history, would have been banned a long time ago, but his reputation as a programmer has kept him in. And obviously anyone who encourages people to spam mods via PM deserves punishment, but again this seems more like a perm than a 90 day offence. Reason 3 Actually, I agree that there is too much division over this. That being said, Idra has just been doing far too much to be let through without punishment. It comes down to the principle of precedence, which as a history major you should know quite a bit about. If they let Idra get away with it, how can they in good conscience punish a minor celebrity, or after that anyone. Quite the slippery slope. Reason 4 To say that his tweet didn't insinuate that he wanted Chill harrassed is absurd (Idra said "Everyone pm Chill if this upsets you"), but I'll ignore it. Idra's 90 day ban came from a combination of awful posting history, blatant lack of regard for site rules, his comment about Cruncher, and finally his inability to apologize for everything. Basically, I think the TL.net mods are completely in the right, in an awkward situation where Idra has made a lose-lose situation for e-sports. If they don't punish him, TL loses some of its reputation as a civil, mature community. If they do punish him, Idra fanboys rage and ... do whatever they do. Either way, e-sports loses, and for that I have lost respect for Idra. I like his style of play, but this is not something to let him live down. Wow I wrote a lot last night before it was locked, but you got it all, nice post. The funniest part about all this is the obsession with him because of his attitude. The condescending jerk who declares himself superior to virtually everyone has imitators, funny. Don't worry TL, the people who are mad about this and will leave are better off gone, as is Idra. It's also funny to see the fanboys say that he didn't tweet that to get people to harass Chill. He knows exactly what he's doing. And if I'm not mistaken, Chill's inbox was filled with about 200 messages People who are accusing the mods of being less mature than him are severely misguided. This site is one of the best discussion sites for a game and for most worldly subjects as well. They are rarely power hungry, and I'd rather see them lay down the law than see him get away with whatever he wants. And furthermore, you HAD to tweet about being temp banned at all? It was a two day ban. Grow the fuck up, get over it. | ||

Seriously get your nose out of Idra's ass, he deserved multiple perma bans long before this even happened, has gotten a string of warnings and constant 2 day bans to try and warn him but he continues to act childish and disrespectful to the mods and other people on the forum, all valid reasons for a perma ban. He is luck to get off with 90 days.... | ||

If you just delete a bad post without giving any notice to the person who posted it, that person may continue to post shitty comments. giving the mods even more work. IdrA continually breaches TL forums rules and he gets cut a lot more slack than you or I would, but when you tell your legion of followers to spam one of the mods, more drastic actions must be taken. That tweet wasn't even neccessary as he is in no way hindered at streaming because of getting banned from TL. IdrA is a great player and I find him really entertaining, but he is prone to acting out in a juvenile way, and TL is completely in the right here, IMO. | ||

Oh boohoo, he called him a "waste of life", big deal... Well, sure, Cruncher probably didn't go cry himself to sleep that night, but what was the point of that post? What did it accomplish? Why shouldn't it result in a 2 day suspension? Because we're tough guys who don't mind shit talk? I don't mind the occasional banter, but keep it humorous at least and not purely spiteful. | ||

What makes you think people will continue to post their crap if their posts keep being deleted? It's a stupid system. If those posts are so bad, why are they still allowed to be seen? What difference does it make? | ||

Its not that much extra work to mark a post rather then delete it.... and as for why allow it be seen, well I can't answer that 100% but maybe to serve as a warning, if you post like this idiot you will be banned? They're are probably more and better reasons but that one I just thought up on spot... | ||

I mean it sounds like ridiculous conspiracy theorist piffle but I refuse to believe that someone like Chill, who at best has a divisive personality, find that IdrA's posts are anywhere close to offensive enough to warrant all this banning nonsense, or that a frustrated response on twitter is worth 3 months of not being able to post. Yes IdrA is an idiot a lot of the time when it comes to communicating with people or his fans, but each one of his posts is a million times more entertaining than the 99.999% of posts which are about such fantastically irrelevant and retarded topics like best casters, kings of race X, bizarre rhetoric fueled arguments about how to best serve lord eSports, parody songs where they don't even record the song, astrology as it relates to starcraft, etc, etc. Please TL, think of people who actually want to read interesting things on the forums as opposed to this endless stream of twaddle that pushes away anyone who ever posts anything interesting from posting. | ||
