Limpingoat was just banned by Chexx. That account was created on 2015-09-29 11:37:51 and had 0 posts. Reason: impersonating another user. Ok now we are talking. That's a really interesting ban | ||

LimpingGoat is a hardcore/biased/delusional fan of TSM Imagine a PRIME fan who actually believes they are favourites against SKT if they played all-kill format because they've been good at them in the past. | ||

Not much else notable about him, some one decided to make a smurf and start making really ridiculous comments which was a bit amusing because you could barely tell it was a smurf since the comments seemed believable out of his mouth. | ||

There is something to be said for keeping people in 1 place. Close the US thread and you get a new thread for every major event instead | ||

Actually, the US politics thread has only a medium ban to post ratio compared to other "general topic" threads. Which begs the question: wouldn't it be a good idea to actually read a thread before advocating its closure? I have no horse in this race, of course  | ||

You're not allowed to start topics on religion, or in general discuss religion too much. Mods will close the thread or tell you off. Unless policy has changed recently. It happened a while ago in the stupid questions thread, despite a very civilised tone from everyone.

I think I meant it more as an honest question. And seeing that a significant fraction of bans (not counting spammers) are from that thread (20% or so lately? taken out of the air), I simply don't believe that the bans/post ratio is lower than average TL, unless a similarly large fraction of posts on TL are in the US thread, which I also don't believe.  But yeah, for all I know there is sparkling discussion going on in there as well. I have my doubts, but I'll never know for sure! | ||

That is because there are a couple choice posters in that thread that keep pushing the limit. One in particular believes 9/11 was in inside job. Like straight up. Another is a die hard Trump supporter that likes to compare civil rights advocated to Scientologist. There is pretty funny and good discussion going on in the thread, but some people can't handle the banter. | ||

The discussion can't possibly be said to be good as every single rule of proper debate is being violated on any given page in that thread - most importantly the lack of arguing in good faith and respecting posters with divergent opinions. But at least all the shittyness is gathered in one place. Sadly it has begun to spill into the EU thread. | ||

When reasonable discussion points are brought up, people talk about them. But all opinions are not equally worthy of debate. | ||
