I can only really try to do my part at the moment, of course. I think this thread is/used to somewhere where fairly straight users would post, so it would be a shame to see it degenerate to be viewed as some sub-par spam-fest by the greater part of TL where bans occur regularly for bad posting. As for the clique thing, I'd agree. I wouldn't say that I feel superior in posting here, but I do feel at home here as opposed to any other sub-community on TL. I guess the point is that it shouldn't be about a tight-knit group that is impenetrable from the outside, but rather an open landscape where anyone is free to come in and discuss the topic at hand; whereas before it's been a small group of people, doing anything but discussing bans. The ABL shouldn't be a scary place like the KMD, and I hope it never degenerates into something like that, although I think for a little while we've been going down the wrong path in that respect. | ||

It's hard to apply standards for discussion specifically. You're not going to get large manifestos regarding kpop and kidols or carefully-crafted posts qualifying multifarious minutiae; there are right/better paths only on a case-by-case basis for certain subcommunities and it's hard to say really the direction a community should take unless it very clearly is betraying its very purpose/roots, especially if you cannot really consider yourself a member of said community. | ||

And honestly KMD isn't as bad as you think--or isn't necessarily something just to be used as an example of a scary/wrong path etc. For what it's worth, it's quite heavily moderated now and posting standards throughout the rest of the site are still enforced there. I cannot speak for everyone there but KMD's really a pretty awesome community imho and the people there are all cool. It's hard to apply standards for discussion specifically.

True, I'm aware that the KMD isn't really that bad, but it's still become somewhat infamous on TL, what with a page full of mod-warnings on top, etc. I just don't want the ABL to become known like that. I visit the KMD somewhat regularly, and I see that it's now become a lot better, but it's hard to shake off a reputation once you've gotten it. Anyway, the KMD comment was just an off-handed thing, didn't mean anything hostile with it. | ||

 not to mention I frequent KMD so I just felt like getting a word in on their behalf~ (whether or not it's appreciated or entirely accurate lol)And wow, GSL LR threads have considerable rage. I never really knew because GSL games usually air too late for me to watch/read threads in the US, but now that they're live while I'm awake and the threads move considerably more slowly than MLG/DH threads for instance, you really can see what's going on :x hard to believe some of these guys aren't getting a warning for useless one-liners(TL tm)+acute desire for a cheese pairing with their wine | ||

There are many times where the threads just aren't moderated thoroughly so a lot of ppl get away with a lot of things :/ | ||

Usually I'm to excited etc to care anyway and MLG/Dreamhack LR threads move along too quickly for me to notice :3 Fortunately no bans came out of the thread so far and it seems to have cooled down, looks like we're in for a smooth ride for the rest of the group. Balance whine bans are the least exciting, usually nothing new and just sort of annoying to deal with, I can see where the mods are coming from when they say that most of the time banning people isn't really fun, just annoying and rather depressing at times :S | ||

One is completely off topic admitedly, but I think overall the thread has improved dramatically in the last couple of hundred pages. Yeah, there's really no excuse at all to be off-topic here. Wait, am I going off-topic by talking about this? O_o NoGasfOu was just temp banned for 1 week by Empyrean. That account was created on 2012-04-03 17:15:04 and had 364 posts. Reason: You've been warned for it many times already. Stop being such an asshole. This is not a difficult concept. It's a shame such an excellent user name is to be claimed by what is so far a bad poster. | ||

lvbagsca35 was just banned by vGl-CoW. That account was created on 2012-06-27 17:20:30 and had 1 posts. Reason: either that was a robot, or i just killed some dude who was CRAZY about air jordans Thanks, vGi-CoW; that was my first smile of the (rather shitty) day. The ABL always comes through for me when I need it :-D. Unfortunately, the post was nuked, so there's no way to know just how excited ol' v-bag got about his Air Jordans. It was yet another case of a ban-worthy first post landing in the 10 Commandments thread, which makes me wonder if there is some reason that bots tend to identify that thread in particular as a likely target for advertising. | ||

I reported the post, it was a huge wall of text about air jordans helping you walk or something, also I think most bots post there because new users are automatically guided into that thread. | ||

It's not important enough to make a thread, and I was told to go ask about it where bans and warnings are discussed, which happens to be... in this thread! | ||
