Dragonsven was just temp banned for 1 week by Plexa.
That account was created on 2010-04-28 04:37:43 and had 81 posts.

If you really feel this way, then get out of our community. I'm sick of reading posts like this trying to distance themselves from TL. Take a week to make your decision.
At first I was perturbed by what seemed like a fairly reactive ban from the usually mild and reasonable Plexa. So I did a quick search and read through the 8 or so posts that I imagine resulted in this. Very fair ban. This in particular amused me:

The comparisons are getting stale. No one is saying only old-school players should comment. The OP is saying that if something a top player says contradicts what you (or some 800-Diamond player) is saying, chances are, he's right and you're wrong. Do you disagree with that? New people come here looking for advice, not looking to give it. And it's not like the strategy forums comprises the entirety of TL. My issue is the need for the old guard to constantly revalidate their superiority ad-nauseum. Yes, many have been on the site forever, followed hundreds of BW games, seen the game evolve time and time again. I understand and respect that. What I don't understand is the recurring compulsion to put new members in their place. If you truly believe yourselves to be better, more seasoned players, then why do these threads keep popping up? One would wonder if some of the older members feel threatened by SC2 and its playerbase. You said it better than I ever could. Good post. However, I have been around for a long time like a lot of these guys and it's not a new phenomenon. I wouldn't say they are threatened by the Starcraft 2 player base as much as they are trying to maintain an exclusive community. That is how they built this in the first place because they were not cool in real life but on BW they were Gods. If a "random diamond newb" thinks he knows as much about the game as you then you can't really maintain that illusion. The only problem is that this attitude and the goal of growing the site is in direct opposition to each other.

Let's not turn focus this thread on "Hey I'm glad person X was (temp)banned".

The thread has always been about laughing at funny bans, appreciation for the eventual removal of malicious users and amusement at why they were banned.

Another use of this thread is to summon tdot. Because quite often, when you mention him, he'll pop up in the ban list within a day or two.

Thank god fireguyx is gone. I won't be surprised if he pops up in the stimey/tdot forum to plot his further trolling.
