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,

I agree with the ban.
If i came on here telling someone they were a waste of life, I'd be banned. Idra came on here and was abusive... he was banned. I'm not sure what their is to argue about?
He was approached regarding his inciting of people to message Chill and he showed 0 (and was probably obnoxious, though i don't know) remorse.
Well played TL.

User was warned for this post So it's ok to send death threats/harass over a video game forum? Because that's basically what happened. I think TL took the appropriate actions, and they shouldn't regret it. Idra has many times been told about his behavior and chooses to not change it. Hopefully one day he will learn. I just want the drama to end >.< Saying someone is a waste of life isnt a death threat he is basically saying that CrunCher wasnt worth it its jsut it comes off as really heinous Chill posted himself that people were sending them to him...so...
seriously? did chill post some pms somewhere?
are people really that retarded`? hope evryone got banned for life...

I really don't like Chill tbh, but Idra's complete lack of professionalism is an embarrassment to starcraft 2 progaming. The western scene needs to understand: You are not a bunch of teenagers playing games anymore, this is your job and you need to behave like adults.
If sponsorships from big entities like MLG and IGN are to continue, the scene needs to be mature and civil. As of now, it's barely a step up from wow-nerds. Bashing somebody's play is fine, but insulting them personally over work/a game is unacceptable. Agreed 100%. The lack of social skills of some of the current SC2 players is downright embarrassing. tbh i have no problem with how players act. sometimes i like it, sometimes i dont. in the end its entertaining and brings "flavor". believe me you dont want old korean like " i will work harder to beat my amazingly skilled opponent" comments all the time. but i also think evrything was dealt with perfectly fine by TL staff here. imo players should be honest and outspoken.but if that violates rules of a 3rd party then deal with the punishment. thats all there is to it for me. Exactly it adds flavor but this isn't about a match this is about how players are acting outside of a game

If he chooses to continue streaming his games, how will IdrA's stream work for the next three months? Can he still set his channel to live by himself, or would he need someone to do it for him? Someone else said there's an option to have TL scan if your stream is live and then set your TL channel live. Is this option a reality?
And before someone jumps on me for not reading the OP, I'm not asking if he can stream or not, I'm asking the specifics of how his channel will appear in the sidebar, and how the channel will be set to live.
Thanks. :p Pretty sure you can still manage stream stuff while you're banned. Set it live, set it offline, change all that other stuff that's stream related. I've done this numerous times before.
Ok, thank you.

I kind of feel like, although IdrA is clearly the one that explicitly broke the rules on TL, CrunCher deserves some blame as well. This feels like one of those situations where one guy kind of dances around the rules to consciously troll another person and generally contribute to the bad blood, with perfect knowledge that the guy he's trolling has a tendency to break rules and insult others. Then, bam, IdrA gets banned when he reacts to CrunCher, while CrunCher walks away scot-free.
Now, with that said, consider all the times IdrA has been banned with the justification that "he's not stupid, he knew what he was saying/doing". For example, during the WeRRa scandal, IdrA posted something like "Oh, that's too bad. Seeing the WeRRa tag was a good way to know you were getting all-inned". People could have easily given him the benefit of doubt that he meant that literally, but many went on to accuse him of hiding inappropriate sexual innuendos in that statement, since "IdrA's not dumb, he knew what he was implying".
Another example would be right now, when mods are saying that even though IdrA didn't explicitly say on his twitter, "Hey guys, I got banned, PM and harass the shit out of Chill to get revenge for me!", his actual twitter post implied exactly that, since IdrA isn't stupid; he knew exactly what he was trying to accomplish.
Now let's look at CrunCher. He's not stupid either - he knew EXACTLY what he was doing when he was messing around on IdrA's stream. He knew it would generate controversy, and he knew it would piss off IdrA. Essentially, he was consciously trolling. Why do we always assume the worst for IdrA, and not CrunCher, who we all know doesn't exactly have the best relationship with IdrA? Even though CrunCher didn't explicitly break any rules, just as we assumed IdrA "isn't dumb, and knew what he was doing" as part of the justification (note that I don't say that it's the ENTIRE justification - obviously, part of the punishment is motivated on how IdrA isn't willing to apologize and shows no regret after he was asked directly if he'd change his etiquette) for a good deal of his bans, why don't we assume that CrunCher "isn't dumb, and knew what he was doing" (deliberately trolling)?
As far as I know, trolling is also punishable bad etiquette. If you hit IdrA with something as big as 90 days, it feels like CrunCher should get a bit of a punishment too, even if as a mere symbolic gesture.

I like Idra from a spectator point of view. He is a solid player and he adds excitement (can't wait to watch the next drama unfold, lol) to the game. However, he really should grow up and act less immature. To each his own, I guess.
|
Well at least the mods are doing their job, I have to agree with them what Idra did is unacceptable and speaks out to his character. very upsetting to see people spam for and harass for Idra and i hope the ones who helped Idra got a lifetime ban.

I've noticed a lot of people keep thinking that Team Liquid is a US team or something or created and managed from the US?
It's a community League, and Nazgul is the owner, check what country the guy is from. He's NOT from the US. No need to bring up "Freedom of Speech" and all this nonsense.
I enjoy Idra's stream, and the mods did what they had to do, he's been warned so many times, look at the list. He's been banned for 30days before o.o; During the "great depression" I'm sure =P He'll live, he'll be back, and you'll all survive. Don't just be a blind fanboy. If Idra doesn't stream he doesn't.
Finally, I've lurked here a while and finally got myself an account. I have to say something about the mods here. These are probably the BEST mods available here compared to any forum out there. They are FAR more fair than any other place, yeah they make some calls that might be "Meh" sometimes, but much less than any judicial system in the world.
Gj mods, much appreciate you guys.
And read the rules guys =/ saying "I'm going to get banned for this" or even the middle ground for it Is grounds for banning 'Martyr'ing' isn't acceptable.

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.
Exactly. Why minimize instead of close? Why not keep the archive of the stream? Esp given cruncher is like 2-40 against idra? Why does cruncher say "lol so obvious what he would do" when its quite obvious that he can't normally keep up?
For everybody saying all the evidence points to cruncher NOT cheating.....there IS no evidence pointing to cruncher not cheating. All of the evidence points to him cheating, but none of it shows conclusively.
Still, if you take everything into account it's quite obvious what was going on.

Ok, thank you.  Although I wish he would, I seriously doubt he will continue to stream nearly as much as he did before. If I had just gotten banned for 90 days for insulting someone who trolls me 24/7, the last thing I would want to do is support the website. Unfortunate that TL was put into such a tough position, but I guess you can only deal with so much for so long.

This is a really stupid move, it's not like he told people to mass spam Chill and harass him about why. He just said he was banned and if they had a problem to PM Chill... The staff needs to lighten up a bit here because what he did really shouldn't be that big of a deal. All TL admins are doing is taking away from the community because now no one gets to benefit from the week of analysis he was going to do. Considering ~18k people watch it the first day there was a lot of interest there.
Overboard IMO.

Well.. I'm sure he had it coming.. but I don't understand why him being banned deserves a "discussion thread" about it.
He may be famous, but it's like this thread publicly exploits the humility or something. Maybe it's because someone was bound to make a thread about it anyway, lol.. I do like IdrA, but wish he would tone it down a notch.
XD

"of course he cheated, its a ladder game who cares. stop giving him attention. hes a waste of life the more you talk about him the longer it takes for him to go away. "
It really shouldn't be very difficult for me to compile an extensive list of posts worst than these on TL. Worse things are routinely said on this site on practically a daily basis. Heck, I'm sure even mods have said worse things than calling someone a "waste of life" at one point or another.
Idra was banned because he is Idra. And that's really all there is too it.

How does the replay show that he was cheating in even a tiny little way? Please do explain. Listening to random hearsay isnt exactly any evidence....
Does a replay have to show evidence that he was cheating in the replay? Sometimes people cheat and lose, you know... because knowing Cruncher, he does not have as much experience as Idra, so Idra's mechanics can be said to be superior. If you look at the other evidence, it says something, but it's not conclusive.
|
Most of the people that are calling cruncher a cheater are just blindly saying so. Hardcore Idra fans will follow him in the dark and just go with whatever he says. Nobody has provided evidence that shows cruncher undoubtedly cheating. Speculation is all that is going on right now.
