navi is one of the reasons that a TL hierarchy is such a stupid idea.
he's a veteran and has contributed a ton to the site.
they are given leeway due to their contributions. the rest of us have our reputations or post quality to rely on, both of which you might want to work on before criticizing him as well.

I feel like BW Strat is where I realized what posting on TL means versus say posting on 'some random online forum'. I learned a lot through my experiences there. Also, Chill was one awesome strict mod there. Yet he was fair in his own right and really gave me a fair number of chances. Eventually I got banned from the BW Strat forum for a while and was mocked for it and what not, but I know one thing for sure. I know almost as little about BW Strat as kollin.

i do my best but i'm the only one really looking at the sc2 section
Realistically, all i can do is look at the op of threads and the help me threads if none reports anything. Following everything is just not possible.

Roffles got banned because what matters is not whether you're right or not, but whether you get baited or not...

In most cases I agree with this principle (and in this one as well) but it's still kinda dumb imho that Roffles would get banned as well.

Shitposting? Has Moltke even gotten a mod action in his 10 years of being on this site? Because I just did a quick search which seems to suggest he has not. So much for that. :D
