Apparently he has friends here at TL with even more power than Nazgul and they are working hard to revoke his ban for him. Impressive! What he really means is he tried to mod shop every moderator that posted in this thread. We pretty much all got the same pm. what does "mod shop" mean? It likely means he messaged every mod he could think of to try and get a different answer. I.E. you ask your dad a question and get a response of "no", so you then go ask your mom the same question in hopes of getting a different answer since hopefully your parents have not discussed said question together and may come up with different answers. i figured out as much from the context. i just didn't make the connection to "shopping for mods". Which is a funny term because it implies he could buy mods ready-made.  Wait until the TL Store offers mass-produced models of KadaverBB for individual use.
Imagine the review pictures!

Kadaver's bought almost everything from the store. Imagine him buying himself.

Out of all the issues that bother me with Freelancer's actions, the biggest one is claiming to have captained something with the TL community behind him. If his "TL" guild got so big that he felt it needed its own forums, well it'd be easy to ask for his own forums here - if he had any kind of repute here whatsoever. The issue is that he was as much a nobody here as those people who make accounts to beg for beta keys.
I played EVE for quite a while with a TL community "guild" (called a corporation in EVE). You know what their recruitment process was like? They looked at your TL account and posts. They tried to find reasons not to let you in (negative moderation, bad post history, obvious idiot etc.). They interviewed you about Brood War and SC2, progamers, specific tournaments, and importantly about TL itself - about its history, about the important members, about various gems and interesting events that took place here. Some people had an automatic in through vouching or through personal TL reputation.
EVE is a game that doesn't stop with the game itself, and the presence of espionage and the need for secrecy are high on the list of considerations. With the substantial credibility packed into the EVE corp, it was easy to get our own private forums which you can/can't see here. We're talking about ~10-15 active guys at a time here, not hundreds or even dozens.
Being interested in an extremely popular mega-hyped game does not make you part of a community any more than going to Belgium and eating a fucking waffle allows you to vote in the Luxembourg general election. Freelancer is an outsider to this community (and that's ignoring all the very negative shit he's done), and that's why it's such a strong offence to claim that he came from it.
-----------------------------------
I noticed there was a mention in the community announcement about the timing. They seemed confused about why this is all coming out now. No particular reasoning. There is no grand design behind it, no fashioned plot.
Someone was interested in Everquest Next and linked me to a Team Legacy recruitment thread asking basically "is this a good Team Liquid group?" It made me recall all the questionable shit posted in the GW2 thread, the sketchy website with the undeserved and totally unearned TL banner, and the general whisper of negativity surrounding many alleged actions by Freelancer himself. I did some preliminary research and sent a post off to a moderator. That was passed around a bit and out of the woodwork pops all these people saying "I remember this guy, what a [insert nice words]". This sleeping consensus was there all along, and my only regret about this process is that I didn't start it a year ago.
So why now? Because some guy found your recruitment post and confused you with Team Liquid for the thousandth time. Because you still won't stop abusing Team Liquid's name for your own benefit.
TL is not some throwaway trash forum that exists solely for you to scrape members from. It has a long history and members with very deep roots. It's held itself to a certain standard for a very long time. Along with the incredible backbone of dedicated and passionate volunteers, that standard has made TL's name mean something. Riding the coattails of that name in the deceitful way you did is despicable, and unfortunately there is no punishment worse than a ban for you here.

Gosh, now I'm paranoid about how many secret forums there are to get access to. I should get eve : D

There are actually 2 EVE forums, and as it stands, there are only about a dozen active TL EVE players.

CONSPIRACY. I was denied a Minecraft forum for ~4k players but Eve gets one for every six?
Fuck you, Team Liquid. You and your power abusing moderators. I demand a refund!

It's a lot easier to add 12 people to some forums than 4k

Back in the old days of the eve corp if you didn't know who the sexiest progamer was, how to beat a lurker with just one merine or how M2 had an odd love triangle, you weren't getting in.

I actually saw that one before and just didn't connect it to the issue, lol.
Pretty sure that it was discussed in the ABL more than once already too and disciple is a wonderful person.

I joined the GW2 guild in the early beta stages for a short while and I still receive his spam e-mails from Team Legacy:
"Freelancer has started a private conversation with you."
edit: On the topic of the eve corporation, I got in after being asked how many minerals a spawning pool costs.

Oh that's tricky. If you play pressure Zerg it only costs 75 minerals.

150 minerals Vanilla 4 lyfe
I'm now relieved by the fact that I didn't bother with the teamlegacy gw2 guild, I thought something was off when there was an application process to get it.
