Well I find it funny that he "had his reasons" and when I got unbanned(by a friend req.) he actually said it was for my FIRST post. I found this strange since it sat on the website between my other posts. But I'm not about to start arguing with you so you can ban me. Although if you wanted to I suppose you could always "have your reasons". And if what I put was bad then a whole hell of a lot of posters must get banned regularly because most of the stuff I read on here is cluttered one liners like "go nony!" or "Flash is the best player ever! EVER!!!". I find nothing wrong with saying idra is the man. So basically as long as I don't demean to pros that the moderators like while supporting my own I guess that would make me a "good" poster? Sorry you were banned and all dude, but remember you're in their house. Most of the people I see that claim they were wrongfully banned don't ever realize this when they start to argue the situation. The admins and mods here are not obligated to give 2 shits of a reason for banning you if they don't want to. Maybe he dropped his lunch on the floor that day and then banned you for it that night. By the looks of what I've seen, they do one hell of a good job at rationalizing their bans... even though people like you and me don't have the right to deserve a reason for it anyway. If I ran this place and banned somebody that I thought deserved it, I wouldn't give anybody the courtesy of questioning me about it. You know why? Because I don't have to. It's not like they have a 700 page book of terms and conditions that outline every possible example that could arise on the forum. They just read something that pisses them off, then click a button.
This just made my night. I was thinking something around those lines but the mod I talked too was right. I guess I was outta line when I brought fans into the argument. But I'm not the only person whose ever done that I'm sure. The only thing is I wish I would of gotten some sort of temp ban or warning but it was like BAM! insta perma ban. Alright..NOW I'm off to discuss games..(I hope no one else responded)

This is like a train wreck in slow motion. I can't help but watch.

I actually meant the revolution of the poor mistreated tl posters (You) rising up against the horribly mean moderators that ban people for 2/3 of their posts being atrocious and then playing the martyr about it. It was a joke, you see, because there isn't any injustice going on here, you were just banned for making crappy posts. But you are 'done' now, so I guess this post was useless.

lol, agreed
also, to ^ that post, how do you see people's posting histories?

Click on profile over ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here ^^
then the number next to 'total posts' is actually a link to the poster's posting history.
Edit: I had to edit this like 7 times to get the arrow in the right place.

Yea when I signed up for TL they said feel free to express yourself and you can even swear just don't go overboard with it. I posted 3 things..two of which were pro Idra comments and I got banned. The reason the moderator left "I have my reasons". I believe mods take things too personally when it comes to banning people. I looked over my posts again and realized how ridiculous it was that I was banned. On another note..where can I find this ban list? I'm hardly on tl but this intrigues me..that is if I don't find myself banned again. Oh..did I mention it was a perma ban not a temp ban? You really gotta watch what you say on this website..if my posts had been like "idra is a fag" or "idra sucks" I'm sure I would of escaped the ban web...but alas..I did not. I asked the mod how many more people he banned on one particular subject and he never responded.
User was banned for this post.
I gave you a second chance because another member vouched for you. I guess you and TL just aren't a good fit. Best of luck on your internet journey.

I really feel like it's not hard to stay unbanned here. Just talk like you do to normal people and you're fine, but I guess I'm alone in that thought? It's getting old arguing everything down to the bone.

Honestly I don't see any reason why you guys should warrant anybody a reason for being banned, or consider debating with them about your reasoning for doing so, other than it being a huge courtesy on your part.
If people want to gamble their chances on what kind of content they want to post, let them. And if and when they get banned for it, tough shit for them, they just learned something.
I hardly see any examples in which debating about the reasoning for the ban afterward ever ends up better off than simply not having responded to it at all. However, I do get extremely jealous at how much fun you guys have when you choose to debate back and forth with the guy about it. Reminds me a lot of BW public chat when everyone is trying to stir up shit with each other.
I commend you guy for being so considerate, but at my house for instance, I'm the dictator, it's my rules, no questions. *shrug* Cheers

To the mods/admins that get burned out discussing a bunch of reasons why people get banned, thank you for taking the time.
I know it gets frustrating trying to explain bans reasons to the offenders, especially since they just don't get how things work in the first place. That's why they are getting banned after all. Yet you have to realize that there is a silent majority reading and learning from all your explanations. You can't help those who obviously are beyond help, but I think a lot of people learn what being a 'good poster' is all about from futile attempts to educate the people who will never get it.
Just consider this thread a FAQ on learning what's expected of good posting in the TL universe. People are learning the lessons from the time you take out to explain bans. It's just not the people who are wondering why they keep getting banned.
P.S. Plus I find this thread and ban thread a nice diversion of entertainment.

Out of curiosity, is there anyway to see a users/your own past bans? I remember being temp banned 2-3 times and I'm interested in seeing the reasons (one of which i basically knew i would be banned for(1000th blog), but i was basically setting myself up for the joke to come ). Im also interested in seeing how many temp bans some users in particular have stocked up over the years.

vT.sOel was just banned by Beyonder.
That account was created on 2010-06-12 16:38:00 and had 122 posts.
Reason: Previously banned user & rightly so. I don't normally perma ban, but your attitude and behavior is beyond unacceptable.
Is it bad that I giggled?

Totally. Dont know why so many idiots post in flame inciting ways. Maybe they thought when they log on to the internet and subsequently TL, they must have thought that they are invincible and grown at least 5 more virtual balls

I was also very confused. The "watching" is what was done "last night in bed." Not the "decimating." Hurray for dangling participles.

Haha, He was in bed when he watched hitchens decimate theresa intellectually. That was what he meant, at least probably. Or he wanted to be funny for himself and knew the double-meaning when he posted. Dont see how it can be so hard to interpret when you know when Hitchens is.
