swag_bro was just banned by Plexa. That account was created on 2014-07-16 02:35:53 and had 782 posts. Reason: Not sure why the last one wasn't perm. Consistently one of the worst posters on TL for over a year. swag_bro just got permed | ||

 It can't have been just luck that he walked so far out on the controversy cliff without falling into the permban abyss for almost 1000 posts. It must have been someone knowledgeable of TL moderation. | ||

As a long-time swag_bro supporter, I have to say that there has been a shift in his posting style recently. Before, he was trolling, but (a) never about the same players and (b) never being too insulting towards players or teams. Now both a and b are false, thus I think he's becoming more and more toxic, yeah. On October 01 2015 13:14 Karis Vas Ryaar wrote: good call Kwark. I thought about reporting him a couple times but I just thought he was pretty dumb. but taken together he's just basically trolling everyone Welp, the Stupid Questions thread's activity is going to go back to stupidly long scientific or quantum stuff debates T_T On October 01 2015 17:41 Cascade wrote: So will it be revealed who's alt it was?

Agreed, used to find him quite funny when he'd catch people out, but then he just started turning into a negative knob. | ||

If anything, you could have waited after Blizzcon, the game will be daed soon anyway and there won't be any events to be interpreted through his great wisdom anymore. + Show Spoiler + Would you believe that there is finally a big Blizzard event in Prague, in the fucking O2 arena (the largest practical venue in the country) and it does NOT have SC2? If anyone will be around and think that the local meal is bland, I can surely help with that, the supply of salt is bottomless. | ||

Comical figures like swag_bro don't really do any "harm to discussion", because nobody takes them seriously (and swag_bro mainly posted in threads where no real discussion was to be had anyway). I don't think that's an excuse, plenty of people are lurkers and any healthy community revolves around new community members. Not everyone is going to know who's who when they log into an online forum, I don't even look at the poster's name most of the time when I'm just casually browsing. And if the expectation becomes "you can shit post as long as it's not an important thread" then the overall quality of the posts is inevitably going to go down. | ||

I can see how banning people who attack others or who derail threads etc. can be beneficial but banning the village idiot doesn't make any sense. KBB's week was clearly just a friendly tease. Somtimes I get the feeling that this Plexa guy got in some clown-related accident in his childhood and simply hates fun since then. Everytihng is such a serious business with him.

Not sure if Swag_broing or serious and report for "Backseet moderation, addhominem,dead game". I'll go with swag_broing | ||

#free-witas!!! He took the ask stupid questions thread literally. His leading questions and inability (unwillingness) to Google even the simplest stuff may have been a bit over the top, but he wasn't necessarily bad in that thread. Now if you had banned him for his obnoxious shit in the US politics thread, it would make more sense. | ||

I prefer this term to the more common negative Nancy in the states. Also, sheep is gone, plus nobody I know got killed in south central la, today was a good day. | ||
