I don't understand why you'd copy paste part of an article like that but yeah weird. i mean is the first paragraph even related to anything? wait I think its like a review or preview for jurassic world (maybe an article about a trailer?) for anyone who doesn't have the report button here it is in all its glory + Show Spoiler + argues with Bryce Dallas Howard's over how to treat a genetically enhanced mutant dinosaur. In the tension-filled conversation, Pratt coyly invites the park maneases her for a past date gone awry – specifically her spreadsheet planning for the evening. Howard retorts, "Who shows up to a date in board shorts im Yong Kim said awareness of the impact of extreme weather events that have been linked to rising temperatures was more marked in developing nations than in rich western countries, and backed for the adoption of a five-point plan to deliver low-carbon growth. We have a whole new generation that is interested in climate change”, he said as he predicted that putting taxes on the use of carbon would trigger a wave of clean technology which would lift people out of poverty in the developing world while preventing the global temperature from rising by more than 2C above pre-industrial levels | ||

I guess the adbot worked since I went and looked up the articles. On April 14 2015 09:08 ThomasjServo wrote: Thank the Korean War for introducing it, Korea has an interesting love affair with Spam. It's the same thing in Okinawa. You could probably generate a map of where spam is popular based on a map of military engagements by American forces during the 20th century. | ||

Community figures (e.g idra) have always gotten a ton of leeway even when there would be no consequences of removing said leeway. It's just that as community figures they are prominent members of the scene that you want interacting on TL, and as such they get greater latitude than most. That reasoning while not strictly speaking fair is a very pragmatic approach to take. I don't disagree with it. Idra actually got banned once or twice On April 14 2015 07:11 dAPhREAk wrote: i asked the same thing and was told from a moderator who shall remained unnamed essentially that he has a get out of jail free card because: which kind of makes sense although his latest tirade was over the top. haha :D On April 14 2015 08:28 Karis Vas Ryaar wrote: if anyone's curious plexa's trying to stop the winter discussion in the hacking thread. its not going so well http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/340614-gm-master-map-hacker-and-general-hacking-and-cheating-thread?page=473 also here's the weirdest adbot on the planet http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-maps/482087-teamliquid-map-contest-6?page=6#108 I actually read through the drama and had a good laugh. | ||

And it went really well and made TL a quieter, more civilized place, remebmber? Maybe not banning TB is just a sense of self-preservation. But honestly I really think people should drop this concept of "fairness", this is is not high school and there is really no reason at all for the rules to be fair, it's not like this is some public space - yes, I had a tendency to argue with some rules and mods, but because I thought they were bad for the discusssion, not "unfair" to some radnom trolls. From this point of view, I enjoy TL much more with TBs maniacal rants than without them. | ||

And once you start allowing stuff like that the overall level of the forum deteriorates. I believe in a much stricter moderation policy than we currently have, for example, moderators making sure that discussions don't just debate the same thing over and over and people repeating the same things endlessly. | ||
