No, it doesn't quite rhyme. Oh well.
He would ask mundane google-able questions, give terrifying advice, and had a really strange agenda where he got pissed if people spent more than $500 on a computer.
Someone just joined 10000 club, eh?

Oh hot damn, this gets better and better... my 10k went to commenting on that ban... some of my earliest posts on TL were trying to talk sense into him in the tech board...

paralleluniverse was just temp banned for 2 days by KwarK.
That account was created on 2010-07-12 23:20:50 and had 1942 posts.
Reason: People died and you're complaining about being unable to use their death to score meaningless points about religion in an online argument? Go have a think about your life.
Y'know, I could see what he was trying to do here. There's a time and a place to discuss those things and the causes and correlations that may be involved. Guess that thread wasn't the place.... KwarK and semioldguy even warned against arguing, but I suppose he didn't listen.

this guy spends a good chunk of his posts bashing mulsims, most of the time with retarded arguments... just another hater on the internet.

farvacola was just temp banned for 1 week by KwarK.
That account was created on 2011-01-23 05:46:54 and had 1439 posts.
Reason: Follow the mod note next time.
He (and many others) got banned in that thread, people just can't seem to stop commenting about religion there.

I see exactly what he was trying to do, and it wasn't pretty. Honestly, though, the thread has long stopped having anything to do with Lybia or the people killed, sadly. This despite the warnings. There are so many off-topic posts my head is hurting. At the time of writing this post, the thread has already claimed more than 15 individual bans. O_O
Reminds me of this comic: http://xkcd.com/386/
Some people just can't leave well enough alone.

I'm tired and irritable because I spent half the night talking to a girl who couldn't stop crying. She knew one of the victims pretty well. He left behind a wife and children. My tolerance for the deaths being used to justify the same tired old argument about religion is not especially high right now.

You'd think at some point people would notice the wall of red text and the mod note and actually think before they posted. Than again that would require people actually reading the thread before they posted.

Not sure if this is the place to discuss it, but I really don't feel Belial88 deserved to get banned. Although he has a rather blunt approach, I've found him to be quite a valuable poster. He has written a few guides like his zvp and zvt ones that have helped me immensely.
He also contributes quite a lot to the discussions in the "zerg help me thread" with his many questions and replay critiques. Speaking of critiques, he is one of the few who makes the effort to watch the replays people post and give really detailed analysis. Anyone who is making such a big effort to help others improve should not be punished for it I think. Those who find him to be too abrasive can always choose to ignore his advice.
If I were to be the one posting replays asking for help, I would much rather read his harsh criticsm and have clear ideas of what I need to be doing to imprve, than to read half a page of replies from people who haven't watch the replay and gives really generic answers like "make more zerglings and try to flank".
I honestly believe Belial88 is valuable poster who has a net positive influence on the strategy forum and should not be banned for trying to be helpful.
Just my two cents if any mods decides to read this.

I remember back in this thread when Belial88 had a 2-week ban, the mods said that he had a really lengthy mod history, shitting up strategy and tech support threads, and that the only reason he wasn't permed yet was because he was quite a good contributor to the strategy section.

Mod edited by request of poster.
User was temp banned for this post.
Ban was downgraded to warning for contrition.

That belongs in feedback, FYI.
For perspective...

And some real gems...

Not every processor is heat limited. You should test out overclocking before buying a new heatsink, as the overwhelming majority of motherboard blow-ups occur because people change from stock heatsinks to tower heatsinks. Motherboards are rated for stock, radial heatsinks that apply cooling to not just the CPU, but the whole board, while tower heatsinks ONLY cool the CPU, so you will get a rise (often deadly rise) in the CPU NB, RAM, and most importantly, the VRM.
I have a GTX 460, 4GB RAM, and Athlon II X3 3.2ghz (overclocked/unlocked to x4 3.4 ghz). I'm able to stream medium graphics SC2 just fine (check my recordings at justin.tv/belial88), and I could probably stream ultra but just haven't tested that yet. I can play on Ultra settings just fine as well. My resolution is 1280x768.
sc2 is cpu dependent, but the graphics are gpu dependent. As in, it's mostly your GPU that determines if your system that can play on medium, can play on Ultra. But CPU allows an increase in fps no matter what graphics setting you are at, as sc2 is extremely cpu dependent. Put simply, SC2 is very cpu dependent and always appreciates more processing, but things like shaders, lighting, texturing... that's all done by the GPU.

I glanced at a few of his posts to get an idea of the kind of person he is on TL. The comment that got him banned actually didn't seem as bad as some of his others. Sounds like a helpful guy, and that he has decent knowledge of the game. But he appears to be a very virulent and derogatory poster. Had he been more positive and constructive in his criticisms, he might still be on TL.

I think that's the first time I've seen someone get banned in the ABL that wasn't a request or a pbu suiciding onto the thread to bash the mods.

What was the general gist of lyerbeth's post?

Yeah, there's only four or so comments on there now by posters without a nuked or locked icon, lol. Mod notes are important, ain't they. Until they learn to read, the red flooooowwwwss....

Unless the ban reason got edited, it's summed up in there.
