Nah, they'd get sued into oblivion. See, TL actually secretly belongs to Rupert Murdoch, via a dummy coporation. While you think the admins run the site, actually, KwarK is his own account.
That way, if he ever gets into legal troubles that could be mitigated by demonstrating he's not pushing an agenda, he can show his online alter-ego, the Evil Internet Fascist Nazi Liberal Conspirator Mod of Doom, to show that people just aren't getting the entire picture.
It's the real reason nothing happens when there's a feedback thread about KwarK.
Luckily, I'm actually Hot_Bid's smurf account, I had to establish myself for a long time in hopes that Murdoch/KwarK's watchful gaze might slip long enough for people to see this message!

Sometimes personal attacks are okay on TL if you are of a certain forum social standing, but otherwise is bannable for all regular folk. Which is REALLY just a shame, because so many people need to be told they are uhhh what's the politically liberal euphemism... minimally exceptional.

I don't think personal attacks are allowed any more after the general change in forum etiquette when SC2 was released.

also, dont call someone a retard and use improper grammar--it makes you look stupid.

I have just discovered the joy that is reading the automated ban list, looks like this never gets old.

They're pretty much never okay, just some people can get away without punishment due to their standing. Lack of punishment doesn't mean it's okay to do it though.

XD I posted this comment nigh verbatim to Sentinal in the NRA thread, in a very nerdy way I am flattered.

I'm not saying it ever should be okay, per se, but when someone posts something incredibly sexist or hateful or xenophobic with no backing other than what daddy told them, all you really can say is... well All you really WANT to say...

glurkenspurk was banned shortly after i made that post. zenbrez wasnt awful enough, or wasnt reported.
Glurkenspurk was just temp banned for 2 days by heyoka.

Am I the only one surprised that this thread hasn't really yielded any good bans? Seems like a topic that attracts bad posters/balance whiners

I've mentioned it in the LR thread itself, I find their infighting entertaining.

Seems the warning has been edited out since then.

may be a ban soon if he edited out a warning, or if he originally put the warning in and a mod cares.

Maybe.....Shuck said something dumb, got warned, then edited out his post?

But according to the original quote provided in this ABL, that means that these events would have had to transpire:
- user makes bad post and gets warned
- user edits his post but leaves in the warning
- ABL poster quotes said edited post with warning into this thread
- I check out post and see the warning is gone, meaning he later edited out the warning itself
Goofy.
Hopefully it was just a "miss-warning."

Or maybe mod misclicked a warning, and removed it? Are you sure the warning was edited out?
