The Ring turned the person wearing it invisible by shifting him into the world of the Unseen. He could not be seen by ordinary eyes, except perhaps by a faint shadow in direct sunlight. But the Nazgul could see a person wearing the Ring, because they themselves walked in the Unseen world, and the wearer of the Ring could see the Nazgul in their true form, as Frodo did at Weathertop. Not everyone was rendered invisible by the Ring. Sauron wore the Ring during the War of the Last Alliance, yet presumably he was visible when Elendil and Gil-galad fought with him and when Isildur cut the Ring from his finger. Whether this was because Sauron was the Ring's creator and master or because of his nature as a Maia is not known. Tom Bombadil - an immortal being of indeterminate nature - also remained visible when he put on the Ring. Tom was also able to see Frodo when Frodo put on the Ring. tl:dr no one knows. | ||

Do you guys have any sort of interest in any particular fansite, and if so, how & why? Or are you to focused on TL to pay attention to other communities? I used to moderate and write on an old website similar but not exactly like these sites, sc2gg.com. It had some great people involved there, including Mr. Bitter, JWD, Moletrap, Diggity, and I still see a lot of familiar names from that site posting here on TL. Sadly activity there has pretty much ground to a halt. It had a lot of ambitious and passionate individuals but just didn't have a structure that allowed it to thrive the way it could have. Ever since I left staff there I haven't really kept visiting. I don't really use other fansites that are more active nowadays, TL is enough for all my needs. | ||

People rage when Idra calls someone a hacker and you guys shut down his fanclub for a few days. You block streams that have combatex on them. Why are incest and bestiality more worthwhile to have on this community? As for streams showing combatex visa-vi bestiality and incest, I don't think TL would approve of streams showing bestiality or incest either.... So that's a moot point. About threads discussing the matter, well in some regards TL promotes free speech, and the discussion of ideas and concepts, be they illegal or immoral. As long as the discussion is civil the forum mods are okay with them. But when it becomes trolling or ad hominem attacks etc then they intervene, which is what, I assume, happened in the IdrA fan club thread. | ||

Kwark, you don't have to agree with someone's religion, but to shut them up by banning them and then tell them their "truth is based on fairy tales" only shows your hatred and bigotry towards Christianity. Plexa said "People are allowed to have opinions." I feel certain it applies to the guy you banned as well. Understand that just because I believe something is wrong, doesn't mean I hate everybody engaged in it. Edit: The post only contained his personal beliefs on a subject that was being discussed in the thread. The poster was not attacking anyone on a personal level. He did not express hate torwards anything. How can this ban be justified? Because someone expressed an unpopular *opinion? Warning was removed by mod | ||

Perfectly reasonable ban imo, then if you are going to scour every ban note for lack of political correctness you're bound to find something. | ||
