You clearly havent watched enough TB videos
or listened to enough of his radio broadcasts from when he still cared about WoW
I remember those shows.. The DJWheat-show where he would get calls that asked excellent questions such as "When was the last time you wiped your ass?!" were especially good

Aleteh was just temp banned for 1 week by KwarK.
That account was created on 2011-12-25 21:22:30 and had 25 posts.
Reason: You were warned for "hurr durr"ing before and told to never do it again. You did it again. Stop that.
You forget this:

Are we still allowed to ask how something like this could have happened?

He was subsequently unbanned so he must have done that and the system worked. Bitching about tl from his platform before using the systems we have in place to fix mistakes is kinda unnecessary in my opinion. We were wrong to ban him apparently but we fixed it. By the same token he was wrong to turn it into a bigger issue than it needed to be and mischaracterise our process, he should clarify that it was fixed without any real drama or hassle.
I didn't speak to the moderation staff, they spoke to me. No bitching was actually done, the tweet was very matter of fact, plus it was clarified in a follow-up tweet.
So whats the problem?
Your second response to Adam contains an improperly placed apostrophe. That is a very serious problem.

Stopped following him on twitter for similar reasons.

Thank god FeyverN is here to inform Americans that there are other tragedies in the world and that guns are deadly. Guess people needed another outlet thread since Kwark laid down the law.

God I never understood how people could just invalidate one sad event by talking about another one. It's like... okay, that sucks too, but that doesn't make this event any less sad. What the hell.

I do wonder how mainstay these sorts of shootings will have to become before public opinion starts to change. And before the requisite "You so stupid, how would taking away guns fix this?" pops up, it's not about "taking away guns", it's about making them more difficult to acquire, because the fact of the matter is that getting guns in the states is incredibly simple and far too easy. My thoughts go out to the families, this sucks.
User was temp banned for this post.
Nice guy, but retarded post. Come back soon, farvacola! :D
