Welp the lol subforum also avoids posts like that for the most part, hence the lack of wanrings and bans. That was a terrible post. | ||

I know ingame moba games have that kind of mentality but on a forum shouldnt people be able to talk about Dota2 like they talk about Starcraft? | ||

You'd like to think that, wouldn't you?...  Well, with the influx of new Dota 2-specific members to TL, we're gonna get a lot of good and bad posters. Since we've not encountered the bad ones yet, there'll be a flurry of bans, and eventually it'll subdue to the normal humdrum of non-negative posters. | ||

I meant that the Dota 2 forums' LR posting quality seemed to be significantly lower than that of SC2 at one point, and I thought that staff was just letting that go since moba players apparently just act that way. So I commented that it's nice that the staff aren't being too lenient on them. Apologies if there's a misunderstanding because I don't follow Dota 2/LoL etc too closely. | ||

SharkStarcraft was just temp banned for 2 days by GMarshal. That account was created on 2011-04-27 01:17:19 and had 126 posts. Reason: Yes, quoting a post someone got banned for to agree with them is the height of brilliance. AcesAnoka was just temp banned for 2 days by GMarshal. That account was created on 2011-04-30 02:55:53 and had 197 posts. Reason: Yeah, EG bashing is cool! Oh GMarshal, we will always love you and your awesome bans. EDIT: I just found this on the second to last page of the ABL. kaarkim was just temp banned for 2 days by vGl-CoW. That account was created on 2012-03-23 10:34:34 and had 3 posts. Reason: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/WsF97.gif) no key for you good sir | ||

Well that was kinda what I meant with my post, although it looks like its more bans now then it was when Starcraft 2 came out sorry Aerisky misunderstood you then | ||

It's like bringing up Starcraft 2 vs BW in the Brood War forum -- it never turns into anything but bans and angry people. There's already a million guides out there from transitioning from LoL into DotA, and even an entire thread dedicated to it in the LoL forum. The fact that you use bringing up SC2 in the BW forum instead of bringing up BW in the SC2 forum shows your rediculous bias. I hereby insite a 10 page long flame-fest. | ||

Kickboxer was just temp banned for 2 days by Waxangel. That account was created on 2010-11-10 08:27:20 and had 860 posts. Reason: "Because it is generally composed of nerds with high intelligence but low social skills who get traumatized daily by jocks, cool kids, mean hot girls, asshole relatives and everyone in between. As a result they have developed an obsession with "manners", a principle that you should never insult or disrespect anyone, which unfortunately is both biased and unrealistic since some of us hold flaming in high regard as a particularly volatile and entertaining form of wit (god bless Black Adder). On top of that, due to the politics of TL the site has a burgeoning gay community which appears to be highly involved when it comes to persecuting people like Destiny or anyone who uses foul language since they identify their trolling and slurs with the abuse they have been taking for their sexual orientation." very rude generalizing and insensivitiy This guy is funny. Really loled reading that. It does have a ring of truth to it though. | ||

Well he is basically saying that nerds by dint of being nerds are usually socially inept and as a result become the targets of mockery by more socially savvy individuals which in turn affects the culture among nerds in such a way that they become quite sensitive to the slightest provocation. It actually makes sense. Think about it, if you were socially abused constantly by the people around you, you would tend to become quite a defensive individual almost to the point of crippling your development as a social creature. You'd take massive offense to any quip that carries even the slightest tint of negativity. People who aren't used to social exile can handle being the butt of the joke quite gracefully and even amplify their perceived faults for the sake of humor in their social group. | ||

People who aren't used to social exile can handle being the butt of the joke quite gracefully and even amplify their perceived faults for the sake of humor in their social group. Fact is that the people that are insulting these "nerds" mostly are "nerds". Believe it or not. People on the interwebz are not 1 hive mind, there are people that like to be assholes, there are people who love to troll, there are people who get offended by assholes, people who enjoy trolls, people who don't appreciate trolls, there are people who are abused in their youth by bullies, people who were bullies, successful people, poor people, sometimes there are just plain normal people. It is crazy here on the internet. I am just saying that such generalization made by the guy who got banned is silly. I could write an one-dimensional essay about how nerds become angry trolls that love to hurt people anonymously because they were bullied in their youth. The opposite what the other guy said, and it would make "sense". There are more types of people than you think. And the part about the gay community on TL is just absurd. | ||
