In a good way.
i wouldn't worry too much about Scarlett threads anymore.
i think the SC community in general have accepted the fact that she's a very skilled player, and one way or another more than enough people respect her enough not to make trash comments.
tilea on the other hand :x

Nah the Scarlett thread shitposters had all probably just gotten banned already and are making trash comments somewhere else now

Fixed that for you.
And yeah, I think it's mostly a case of most of the perpetrators already having been permed and moving on.

That said, this is a pleasant surprise for sure .

So Prae's ban request was related to that blog? It just occurred to me that I 5-starred it last night without reading it, kinda regret that now. >_>

Thallis was just temp banned for 2 days by KadaverBB.
That account was created on 2010-09-02 06:41:26 and had 222 posts.
Reason: So original
The patchzerg is strong in this one.
Why did I think this would go away with HotS? It really doesn't even make sense anymore.

Every time someone makes a patchzerg comment I imagine someone so stupid they couldn't pour water out of a bucket even if there's instructions in the bottom of the bucket.

I find that people tend to see the internet as a really easy place to spout racist, sexist, or otherwise insulting speech. The relative anonymity provided as well as the ability to type something out in advance and then retreat without having to immediately face the people you're bashing means there are very few real drawbacks to being an asshole. I think that TL does a pretty good job by giving some serious teeth to the enforcement of forum rules, and it makes it easier to keep people out who are continually offensive, however as long as there are people who don't really care about their longevity on this site there will be people who are happy to trade their account for just one more insult.

A Scarlett ban based on... StarCraft?! Heaven forbid!! :-o
Gr33d was just temp banned for 2 days by KadaverBB. That account was created on 2010-12-18 01:24:52 and had 312 posts. Reason: Third time you are bitching about Scarlett Show nested quote +I'm glad that Scarlett is gone. Don't like Zerg, don't like the interviews and I don't like the die hard P.C. in every game / thread.
...Well... mostly StarCraft, lol.
....Actually... after taking a longer look at the quote, and what I assume Gr33d got banned for... it is technically about Scarlett's gender. *sigh* Nevermind.... -.-'

Thanks very much :D
User was banned for this post. I have now doubts we will see you again very soon

What does it mean to have a blog galleried?

So Prae's request is some how related to a blog of his? Did anyone get a chance to read it or get the gist of it? I am just curious what would motivate the perm request rather than the 90 days he took to study (if I am not mistaken it was for IB and similar activity.

Given he asked for it to be galleried it would seem kinda mean spiritted to discuss the content. IMO he overreacted, but I can't think of a way of writing what it was without doing wrong by him.

Not an unreasonable position in the least, oh well I guess I'll be in the dark on this one.

+ Show Spoiler +He admitted to cheating, as someone who was obviously self conscious and took the time to showcase his academic achievements on the internet it was probably a time of self realization. Also probably because he didn't want any real life implications, I'm guessing he got away with cheating irl and having other people find out about it via Teamliquid would be terrible.

An atoning ban for the ban gods if you will. Hope to see you around in the future Prae.

Well that is unfortunate, thanks for the Cliff's Notes on that Caihead.

So that's what I missed in his blog. I wonder why he wanted them galleried though, I understand what it does, but that seems a bit much. I don't think he'll be back for a long time too.
