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.

While the situation isn't very funny, I am highly amused at the amount of red ink being generated.

I do wish this whole thing would die down- in the end, worse case senario, someone cheated in a ladder game, eg, practice. It's practice, I don't see why everyone is so riled up about it.

I do feel =S for the banlings/mods who have to go through all of this.

Just inquiring about warning/banning rules.

I don't quite understand why this guy has been warned and banned but i'll happily heard any explanation.

Because he posted "in b4 warning". From the TL commandments:

Don't be a drama queen martyr. TeamLiquid isn't colonial America or Tienanmen Square. You do not need to preemptively declare "I'm going to be banned for this..." or "ban me, I don't care." Our Moderators ban for good reasons. If they read someone acting like a martyr, they'll simply treat it as a request to be banned.

If you say something along the lines of "i'm going to get banned for this" you automatically get banned. It's a blanket policy to stop people from using it to validate their point.

Just read through quite a few pages, seriously, everyone who supports IdrA on this issue needs to reread the Ten Commandments, especially Rule 1. ( http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=17883 )
The mods are tolerating a lot of shit in this topic that should've gotten most people here more than just warned/temp banned, hoping for a harsher crackdown on shitty posting.

Also I really dislike this idea that "THIS IS THE INTERNET; PEOPLE BEHAVE SHITTY GET USED TO IT" ; TL has always proven to be beyond and above the terrible rest of the internet, no reason to change that now.

IdrA won't quit streaming since part of his revenue depends on it, so quit bringing that topic up.

He was banned not for disagreeing with us, but for not following the site rules with his "inb4 warning" comment.



but come on it still is kind off harsh banning people for saying:" i will be banned for this" wouldn't it be better to show that you are unpredictable by not banning them?

TL has a very simple policy about martyrs. If they think the moderators will ban them for their comments, the mods will ban them for their comments. It's that simple. If you think the mods will ban you for saying something, why even say it?



as i dont do it i cannot give you the reasons why people do it !
Same you can ask why Idra rages all the time, if you don't, you cannot understand i guess :D

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.



I find Chill's response transparently dishonest. This would upset any starcraft player, particularly a serious, pro player.

I also find great hypocrisy reading through his warnings and bans from TL. So many of them are for bm and insulting posts, but most of them include bm and insults back at Idra.

Please note the civility of my response.

I'm a bit curious why a thread was made. Is it so people upset about the ban can voice that they're upset and vent, or those who are happy about it to congratulate the mods and talk about how much IdrA needs to grow up? Because it seems to be all that's happening and all that really can happen.

Unless a post in defense of Idra can revoke the 90 day ban, I guess I just don't know what 91+ pages of back-and-forth is going to accomplish. I understand and appreciate the history of the matter being divulged, but outside of that it just seems like adding lanes to a highway only to have them met with more demand for the added space.

I don't see why there is any debate here. IdrA got a 2day ban for flaming a fellow TL member. He then encouraged his fans to PM chill, and he has had a history of disrespecting the mods, so one could infer that he was being malicious with his request. Nazgul then talked to IdrA about the situation, and IdrA said he did not regret what he did and offered no apology. Nazgul then really had no choice but to do something, so he decided it was best to give IdrA a 90 day ban. IdrA did some things that were frowned upon on this site, and he has to suffer the consequences.

One way or another this was going to get out, and then there would be complaining threads popping up left and right. At least now it's all centralized in one place.

I find this whole situation to be extremely amusing, primarily because the person who actually received the punishment is probably 1000x less upset then anyone else. If his stream still continues to be featured on TL, being banned for 90 days means nothing. Idra seldom posts on TL, and when he does, it's generally just to insult someone. I think people do need to realize that his ban literally means nothing, and that everyone is getting worked up over very little.

Why do you think we're the biggest site for SC.


Because you had the existing infrastructure and there's no other serious competitors?


By "existing infrastructure", I can only assume you mean our existing userbase (otherwise, that's silly as there were tons of websites up before the beta even came out). Now, why do you think we've maintained a large userbase and reputation?

Oh, and if you think we've never had serious competitors, then you probably haven't followed the Broodwar scene at all. There were many sites in the early days of BW (many even bigger than TL for a while) that don't exist anymore. Again, there are reasons for that.

I still thinks Idra's statement about Cruncher (i think) is nothing more than a statement and preventing progamers from stating thing on this forum has no value and is, imo, a harm to the community (yes people have the right to enjoy a player and a player have the right to build a character without a mod having a say about it). My last thoughts on the matter

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?



A lot of bold, honorable assumptions about cruncher formed out of thin air.

I can't speak for the decision because I had nothing to do with it, but I imagine the outcry if there wasn't a thread would be even worse. Not only would be it be through multiple threads, but people would accuse TL of trying to hide it.

PRobably it was made because the TL admins are intelligent enough to realise that people were going to kick off about it anyway, so might as well give them a thread to contain it all in. Also allows them to explain it more transparently than the usual "User was banned for this post" red text.

I personally feel the original ban was poor moderation on Chill's part. Idra was banned for saying Cruncher was a waste of space, it's not like he was saying it directly to Cruncher, he wasn't trolling, he was posting his opinion in the topic as it was being talked about. Cruncher's "reply" in his own stream thread was OBVIOUS trolling, blatantly against the forum rules, and he didn't even get warned.

Idra's response to his original ban was stupid, and I understand why TL extended the ban as a result of it, but he shouldn't have been banned in the first place. Or if that comment was banworthy, then Cruncher's post definitely was as well. It makes it look like bias modding, and though it's not a surprise given Idra's history on the site, it's not good practice to allow that kind of moderation on the site, IMO.
