Oh and congrats to him. I don't even know, man. I'm in over my head. I went too far, too fast.  hey can you explain Belial88's warning and ban to us? If you look the SC2 start forums, he's really aggressive to people with different opinions. He has good insight into the game and has created several great guides, but when someone disagrees with him, he goes ballistic. My only problem with Belial is that he seems to think that he has some authority around teamliquid. He would often make blanket statements without any evidence. When you confront him about said statements, he'll just get gets offended and spew stuff like "I am very knowledgeable with the game, blah blah blah."
He admits to the level he plays at, then writes 800 words of mediocre strategy advice in a matter-of-fact tone.

I'm a bit guilty of that as well, I once got a PM from a user telling me I was condescending, being a jerk, etc. Made me feel bad.  I deleted it, though. It was around the time of when late-game TvP 'OP' talk.

thats the thread where you look for teams.... whats wrong with them looking for players?

Edit: Actually the punishment for advertising teams in that thread isn't as severe as I thought. The guy who was nuked made a separate thread, I confused him with posting inside that thread. Still wondering why that thread isn't moderated so much though.
Edit2: There's also a separate thread for advertising teams: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=135557

I feel like discussing things for the sake of discussing things. The problem is I'm too lazy to leave the ABL...
Edit: I like this ban though: intense555 was just temp banned for 2 days by salle.
That account was created on 2011-02-12 11:07:05 and had 35 posts.
Reason: There once was a camel which was used to carry hay on its back. One day the camel's owner was just piling on more and more hay untill the camel's legs were quivering under the preassure, it was just barely able to stand up and move. But then the owner found a straw lying on the ground, he picked it up and added it to the piles on the camel's back, but just as he did he heard a defening cracking sound from inside the camel. It was the straw that broke the camel's back.
tl;dr, you were warned repeatedly in the last three days for posting one liners.

Yeah, let's play SC2 some time!
And Chill - if you want some help getting into diamond some time I can totally practice with ya. I'll play eye of the tiger loudly in the background and make whooshing sounds with my mic so it's as close to a real life montage as we can get. Hell, I might even dress you up as a girl and pull some reverse Mulan shit to help you train. Trust me, I'll make a champion out of you!
PM me if you're interested xD
(anyone interested in any SC2 games send me a PM with account / code and I'll add on Monday! )

pindleskin was just temp banned for 2 days by Pholon.
That account was created on 2008-01-05 00:37:45 and had 133 posts.
Reason: Really? Please educate yourself before making these posts oozing of ignorance.

O_O what? I thought only girls could compete in that. It's kind of weird someone who is transgender would be allowed to participate in a all girl's tournament. I mean besides them thinking like a girl, genetically(Hello, XY) they are guys -_-, it's pretty much a guy who thinks he is a girl. I wonder how the other girls who participated in NESL thought of this
Not a bait, just curious
User was temp banned for this post. im disappointed you didnt use my rendition of Kelis - Milkshakes in the report as the ban reason. =(

Thank you for the info but was he condensing or condescending? If I google translate word "condensing" correctly then sorry but it doesn't make sense, his post was too long. On the other hand if you meant to say "condescending" then the warning of that particular post is also bit weird because he even agrees in the post that he was wrong about something and someone else was right. Everything else seems to be standard strategy talk.
If I see this correctly then this case shows there is a need to mod edit some explanation for the warning into the warned post more often and even choose a different post to warn. Sorry but if I see this correctly then the red text saying that he was warned is confusing instead of how it is supposed to be informative.
People confirmed here what the ban reason said that he has a not pleasant history here so I'm not coming from a stand point of someone who actually gained something from Belial88's advice (and I did use his advice, both direct to me in the zerg help me thread and from at least one of his guides) but from a stand point of a by stander observing the warning and a ban and an actual fan of the ways things are being moderated here. You would think me questioning anything about this is me losing my faith in the staff but it really isn't.
If no moderating staff will respond to me then I think I will make a thread in website feedback.
Cheers.

I'm plat myself.

If no moderating staff will respond to me then I think I will make a thread in website feedback. Cheers. Oops, nvm he didn't edit. There are a lot of reasons that post was warned for, specifically for this portion:
I don't really want to continue this discussion, sorry. I think it's kind of absurd. I'm wrong, you are right. I don't know what level you are, I'm 1.2k points masters zerg last season, and my average zvz game length is 17:58 minutes long so i run into broodlords and infestors and hive tech a lot.
Once you have just a critical mass of broodlords, infestors don't work anymore. Broodlord/infestor gets owned by pure broodlord/corruptor once the pure broodlord/corruptor army meets a critical mass of 200/200 pure 12+ broodlord and the rest in corruptors.
And no micro involved is ridiculous. The whole point is the broods just back off if you spam IT's, and then the infestors no longer have energy and you push when the ITs are gone.
That's all I really have to say on this subject. You are correct, I am wrong. Thanks. You're not supposed to use your rank to prove points in sc2 strategy. He says he doesn't want to continue the discussion then writes paragraphs more. Also, the general tone is very condescending, telling the guy he was responding to "You're right, I'm wrong" twice sarcastically. You interpreted that section of his post incorrectly. He didn't actually mean that the guy was right; he said it to mean "This isn't worth my time, I don't care about this discussion anymore."
Also,
This sort of unit testing makes absolutely no sense at all. You use broodlord/corruptor only to 'counter' broodlord/infestor, and you need infestors to 'counter' mass roach.
That has nothing to do with this build, that would be like saying "maybe a 6 pool can counter this?"
Belial is one of the worst posters that hasn't been perm banned on TL from a moderation standpoint. He has 26 mod actions from literally 16 separate mods. The only reason he hasn't been perm banned many times over is for his contributions to the SC2 Strategy forums.
