I wasn't aware you wore a tophat...

hestione was just banned by R1CH.
That account was created on 2012-06-12 11:30:24 and had 1 posts.
Reason: Advertising.
Is it just me, or does the wizard seem to have some rather awesome advertiser detection skills? He barely bans for anything else, but an ad shows up, and poof, a bolt of lightning, a cloud of smoke, and a few flying monkeys later, we have a dead spambot.

Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

StorkHwaiting was just temp banned for 1 week by Falling.
That account was created on 2009-10-22 13:34:21 and had 3087 posts.
Reason: You are not very good at this for how long you've been here. Learn to TL better and perhaps stay away from the Kpop thread if you find it so sickening.
Also it seems the kpop thread causes another ban. Ive always been curious what about that thread leads to so much rage but Im afraid to go in there, find out, and get banned for raging.
In further meandering curiosity I looked up the banned post.

Kpop fandom is so retarded. Fans should auto-assume every one of these girls has slept with hundreds of men in the most compromising, unethical, and lascivious of ways. Image-based music is the devil.
User was temp banned for this post.
O.o Image based music is the devil?

To be fair if you find any genuineness in a boy/girl band from any part of the world then you're also a very excellent person for targeted advertisement. However it is one thing to say "I do not believe in the image these adults are portraying" in a blog and an entirely different thing to walk into a thread focused on the celebration of kpop and shouting it in a coarse and pithy post.
It's like posting in a Diablo 3 thread about how much you hate D3 or posting.. anywhere in the SC2 forum how much you hate SC2. The other users don't. That's why they are there. If you find yourself resolute on expressing your opinion then the blog forum is always welcome.

GUUUUUUYS. I did it. I found Aerisky.
My journey began after he messaged me on IRC explaining why he wanted to get permed. However, I was AFK at the time and didn't get the chance to respond:
[01:33] <Aerisky> ah i was sort of interested in whether anybody would remember me so i popped into the ABL thread ;P [01:34] <Aerisky> just wanted to set the record straight (not that there really will be for me, but no harm in being honorably permed, if there is such a thing) [01:34] <Aerisky> yes, it was completely by request [01:35] <Aerisky> though interestingly enough i AM a pbu, otherwise it would be weird for a 2-week member to have so much knowledge of so many part of the forum hehe ;P [01:35] <Aerisky> *so many parts [01:36] <Aerisky> i quit before because i thought it was draining too much time, this time because i didn't feel like i belonged in the community, for various reasons [01:38] <Aerisky> for instance in (http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=343038) defmatrixultra pointed out how bad my post history was and i replied, and i thought he misconstrued what i said ("My posts aren't meant to be amazing. They might be bad, and I could be unable to convince you they aren't." first statement true, second part half true, i said that might be bad and i admitted that i probably would be unable to convince him otherwise) [01:38] <Aerisky> basically i just don't fit in, don't feel like anybody likes me here, sort of thing, so i just decided to quit TL for good this time instead of "get permed and come back later" [01:38] <Aerisky> it was really fun though, enjoyed my time here [01:38] <Aerisky> (mostly) [01:39] <Aerisky> ANYWAY, didn't want to bombard you with stuff, just wanted to clear things up maybe [01:40] <Aerisky> have a nice day yo ^^ [15:22] <CyDe> hey, are you still there? [15:22] == No such nick: Aerisky [15:32] == No such nick: Aerisky [15:32] == End of WHOIS [15:32] <CyDe> Aw fuck
For some reason, I felt a dire desire to find him and prove him wrong: tell him that he really did belong in this community. I couldn't leave him hangin'. So I went to google and typed in Aerisky. I didn't know much about him. In fact, the only thing I knew was that he liked classical music and that he was from the US. However, luckily I didn't need either of those facts.
I found his SoundCloud account of the same name. A while back I discovered this awesome program called APEXvj that "visualizes music" for you, and I had to create a SoundCloud account for that. So I messsaged him this:
Hey dude,
If you are the correct person, you sent me a message yesterday on IRC about why you decided to perm yourself on TL. Listen, everyone really does like you, and I want to talk to you more. Please be the same guy, respond if you see this. I just want to talk to you.
I don't know why I felt such urgency. But I did. It simply felt unjust for him to have this misconception that he didn't fit in. So then I waited. And waited. In all honesty, Aerisky drifted to the back of my mind. Until today. I got this message from him back:
Sup!
LOL at first I was like "WTF HOW DID HE FIND ME [I don't even use my soundcloud account really]" but then I just googled my name and google has it pretty high up for no reason =___= go figure.
But, um yeah, it is I! You don't have to speak as if I'm in danger of mortally wounding myself lol (though I guess a perm is sort of a TL suicide?) :O I dunno, I'm pretty sure you can't get unpermed anyway, no? I have missed TL a bit, not gonna lie. There is literally no other community of which I know that is, in general, as amazing.
Sorry for not responding sooner--I went to the ER with a collapsed lung on Friday and just got out today. Still feeling really nauseous from all of the painkillers ;__; I seriously couldn't make this up lol, terrible terrible timing attack (of pneumothorax).
VICTORY! SUCCESS! I found him. It was the same guy. I got the feeling, and probably rightly so, that I freaked him out a little. I guess I come on a little strong. So I responded with:
:D dude that is awesome that you are the same one. I know that the urgency is a little weird, but I just freaked out when I saw that you had written me a message and I didn't get the chance to respond. But really, everyone really does like you. I mean, if you really feel like it is unnecessarily sucking up time, but if your main reason for leaving was feeling like people didn't like you, don't worry. We talked about you in IRC, everyone was unhappy to see you go. I think you could talk to a mod, or I could talk to a mod, to get you unbanned. Really.
And I am really sorry to hear that about your collapsed lung. That sucks. How exactly does that happen? I know that Cr1tik4l on YouTube had one at one point as well, I heard it's not easy. Feel better! <3
Mere minutes later, he came back with:
Ah people really did? ^^;; Hm I guess I'll respectfully go ask a mod then ><
The collapsed lung was entirely spontaneous lol, absolutely no trauma/injury/etc etc...but I'm all better now thanks :D
Yeah I feel like TL...is something I'll never truly grow out of--for better or for worse (hope for the former hehe). I've been through a lot of sites and games and what have you, but I think the simple community (for lack of a better word) is just OP, it's something you don't just grow out of c:
Thanks again, I'll go beg for a commute or a pardon~
YEEEEEEEES, I DID IT, I SAVED HIM FROM HIMSELF.
If any mods see this, I am formally requesting on Aerisky's part that he be reintroduced into the community. I don't know if it possible. But I really hope so.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES <3
I think I will post this as a blog as well.

That's what I am hoping. I'm also hoping he won't mind me posting all this haha. Might freak him out. A little. It'd probably freak me out. :D

I'm fairly sure that Jedward are completely genuine. Still not sure entirely what they are though.

Oh, it is damn good to be back. Didn't want to cause unnecessary drama; I honestly do hate to seem like an attention-seeker etc. Thanks Cyde, <3 you dude. Your name was in the IRC ABL user list and I decided to message you, so happy I did.  I do appreciate seeing that maybe people didn't hate me that much, though I don't blame them sometimes  This is so awesome, also sincere thanks to mango and any mods who participated in the decision to pardon me .__.
Long story short, it won't happen again, and it's so awesome to be back.
+ Show Spoiler +I LOVE TL ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/t9zE3.gif)
Was hoping my old acc wouldn't be revealed because I'm really not very proud of my old posts (not to mention it's the typical "looking back a few years and just shaking your head because you were an idiot" effect ;; ) but it could be considered more than fair punishment I guess. Really wanted start with a clean slate again but there's no such thing I suppose, so feel free to point and laugh  fwiw I denounce everything I ever posted except for that one bit regarding Federer in the Roland Garros 2011 thread, even though there were some typos and maybe a few parts that could have been included or done better.

Hihihihi! <3 Welcome back. Glad you didn't leave for good. I actually remember your original account too.

Welcome back Aerisky! CyDe's selfless quest to find you was more heartwarming than Homeward Bound and luckily less "complicated" than TL's frantic search for Manifesto7.

"Oh god, why" moment heh. 
Definitely happy to be back though, and with some thicker skin (literally, I think Cyde blogged my convo with him in soundcloud mentioning surgery...sadface). Still very sensitive which is a bad thing toi have on the Internet, but you live and you learn ^^ Personally the lower ban rate this MLG was a good sign. Less strain on the banlings/moderators and I think it's a good thing that on the whole the community seems to have improved at least on that count. There will always be hilariously poor post(ers) to point out, so lower banrate is fine imho.

Oh man that thread! Well I remember reading it posthumously, I think it was in Poke's hall of fame. What a classic :D And thanks, so glad to be back. I didn't realize this just now, but to point it out, every time I post I feel inclined to qualify my statements with "I think, I suppose, etc." to indicate that my opinion isn't absolute I guess, but also using first-person pronouns so much (which I do, case in point most of my posts lol) might make me come across as self-centered or narcissistic maybe? Random tangent, just happy to be back 
|
Welp I would just point out that people generally assume your posts are something you think or suppose and not fact. This is after all, the internetz.
I have not laughed so hard since the headphones thread, bee tee dubs.
|
Just glad I was able to bring some mirth with my rebirth~ (yeah that was terrible)
I dunno, still feel compelled to do that, maybe I'll tone it down a bit then (by toning authoritativeness up) ^^;; Can't say it enough, so filled with joy to be back--those few days were torture in more ways than just the pain meds heh. Glad this turned out to be such a cool story :D
|
Wow what a heartwarming story in the ABL thread.
