EPTThe thing is, I report a lot of people who do that (except for your jokes post because it cracked me up completely) and about half of the time the report goes unanswered, half the time the person gets warned. It's a bit confusing, but I worry that if that's allowed in general, people are going to start using this thread as an alternative to reporting more and more, and that drives me nuts.

Doing so kind of presupposes that the report is going to result in moderator action, which is basically backseat moderating.

PS. PM'ing someone to say he's not funny is kind of a douche move. | ||

It's like going up to Dane Cook after a show and saying he's awful, and then kicking him in the balls. Except he deserves it. Cause I don't like him. Anyway. | ||

bdair2002 was just banned by vGl-CoW. That account was created on 2010-11-19 19:32:35 and had 51 posts. Reason: So, in 50 posts, what you seem to bring to the table is religious fundamentalism and conspiracy theories. Go find another table, please. Cow and Empyrean just have so much personality with their recent bans...much better than the rubber-stamped bans of GMarshal. | ||

Looking for GMarshal to step up his game ;P Though to be fair with the number of bans he hands out it would be hard to have some original and hilarious reason for every single one ^^ | ||

You know, that username sounds very familiar. His terribleness must have left an impression on me. This was probably earlier in the year, though. | ||

I was laughing pretty hard at that. In other news, for some reason GMarshal is so scary that sometimes people post at the end of their post, "If this in anyway looked like balance whining GMarshal, I apologize. This was not intended." In fact, I found it: On June 21 2012 13:01 [Azn]Nada wrote: Give this man a medal. Lmao, GMarshal loves banning me, so I decided to switch to zerg to see if my "Balance whining" was justified. (Doesn't matter too much, since i post once every 2 weeks). BAM, just went 13-4 against terran as zerg, and i don't even play zerg. Had a terran who gave me a free game as he had just gotten raped by BL/Infestor and decided he didn't give a fuck after my five queens raped his hellion opening. Pity my ZvZ/ZvP is abysmal, or else I'd immediately switch to zerg. This man tells the heart of the problem with terrans. It's like every patch one of our units gets worse (statisically speaking, every unit (scv, marine, marauder, ghost, viking, medivac, ravens, BCs, hellions, tanks, thors) has been nerfed at least once. Terrans are told after every patch to go and "adapt" and we do, but at least me (and many of my friends) have long passed the end of our patience. We've practiced dozens of builds, and the fact is, anytime we get good at something (ie. i was particularly good with the 5rax reaper back in the day due to lots of vulture micro UMS), dustin balder nerf bats us in the face, and we have to start from kindergarden again. GMarshal, I hope the above post isn't considered "balance whining", as whatever statements I make to the actual game are all hard facts, and am merely discussing my (and many of my friends') emotions to the game. | ||
