DemigodcelpH was just temp banned for 30 days by Waxangel. That account was created on 2011-08-24 14:50:01 and had 897 posts. Reason: Show nested quote +On May 23 2013 19:47 DemigodcelpH wrote: And Cheesebol the gimmick abuser is out.
The bad will fall, and the good will rise.
God this guy was awful. This has been one of the first LR threads I actively took part in, and the symbol hate went straight through the roof. Can't believe the legends were actually true.

Only two casualties this LR thread, surprisingly
RIP SoFrOsTy and DemigodcelpH

Well there wasn't too much chance to complain about balance :D

C'mon, Innovation is a walking imbalance.

Can I ask (and get an answer) here if a specific post in a specific thread is worthy enough for a warning?

Maybe convince STX Soul to change to team jacket to a tweed jacket with leather patches?

These two men could have yelled "Death to the robot overlords" when they killed the soldier and the amount of publicity this attack has gotten would be zero. But because they mentioned something that has to do with a religion that the Western world ostracizes and condemns as evil and violent, suddenly everyone wants to talk about it. Wake up, sheeple. There are no terrorists, only disturbed individuals who don't know how else to be heard or seen. We are drowning in our own filth and blaming that filth on a god or a book instead of the people who created it; us.
I am appalled.
User was temp banned for this post.

probably not, this is more about humorous discussion of bans. I would message a moderator about it or just report the post. If you think its really serious there is always website feedback.

Barrin was demoted due to inactivity despite being active on the forums. For what it's worth, we think he did a really good job looking after the map forum while he was active. It's really unfortunate that his entire existence on TL since then revolves around two issues: taking an issue against me (I was the person who contacted him about the demotion) and taking an issue with the tl staff/moderation policy. After he was initially demoted we understood that he might be frustrated by the incident and let his comments/actions slide, but after a prolonged period of time and after being contacted about his comments he still kept up this bitter resentment. As a result, he was banned. Like I said before it's really unfortunate that this situation has happened, I genuinely believe he is a good person and that he was a net positive for TL even after this whole incident. It's been really sad watching a former staff member progressively self destruct

Can you go into a little more detail or would I be pushing it to ask that of you? Maybe I'm too tired right now but I don't exactly understand what this means, concretely. :/

So while Kadaver (I think) has said in the past that Banlings aren't held to any particular mod schedule that doesn't mean you aren't expected to Shepard the forums so to speak. I wasn't aware that kind of demotion had happened for an active user before, seems like it would create an awkward situation.

Hmm... Still, what exactly does that entail? Because if it's about bans, I can think of some others that very rarely ban someone, so I don't think it's that simple. And then, there's industrious fellows like Kadaver and GMarshal (when he used to go on banning sprees in LR threads) who seem to snatch almost every mod action.
That said there's most likely more to it than what's immediately apparent, which is why I asked in the first place. :/

But if he was active just not as his job, couldn't you, say, put him on probation and give another banling the responsibility while seeing if Barron could do fine as a vanilla? And then take that away if he can't meet even that responsibility?
Just seems a bit harsh from my perspective, but it's not my place to judge in the end.
