This thread is for discussing recent bans. Don't discuss other topics here. Take it to website feedback if you disagree with a ban or want to raise an issue. Keep it civil.NOTE: For those of you who want to find the actual ABL thread where the bans are posted. Please look in here: https://tl.net/forum/closed-threads/ |
Interestingly enough, the fact that that thread is was locked isn't justification to spill the arguments into this one.
This is where we discuss bans that happened.

they reopened your thread. time to divert the shit back to the cesspool.

Yeah, I see what you mean. Problem is that there is a sizeable number of people who think that anyone who (strongly) disagrees with them on a topic must be literally Hitler. That poisons discussions pretty quickly.
As a self-promoting aside, I want to draw attention to this old post. For those who don't know, I was a pretty well-known Bisu fanboy back in the day.

If we're dealing with a society that is receptive to our ideas, sure. If the society is not so receptive, then it needs to be utterly destroyed first.
Maybe, but history has shown than the more brutal methodology produces results. Who gives a shit about water boarding a few people? I'm talking about mass subjugation of entire societies. Every great empire from antiquity onwards slaughtered civilians when necessary to pacify occupied lands. As far as I am concerned, Trump was merely stating the obvious when talking about killing the families of terrorists. You have to eliminate the terrorists' bases of support to defeat them. Often times, the support comes from the families. So if the thing you are in favour is not genocide, what it is exactly? However that's not why I consider you an exceptionally bad poster in that thread. As I am not a TL mod, I am not going to condemn you based on your opinions. But your style is absolutely atrocious. Almost every post of yours is a snarky one-liner. You do nothing to incite good discussion, your influence is purely disruptive. I am not sure if you can be banned, because you have a fancy icon, but if someone is gonna get banned based on that thread and it's not you, then I'm gonna burn website feedback down.
That thread has another very strong candidate for "champion of the snarky, useless and disinformed one-liners", who imo is more deserving of that title than xDaunt.

I'm not actually sure who you mean by that. It's a very competitive category with many promising candidates.

The only positive thing to say about that thread is that it at least somewhat contains all the toxicity in one place (but it even fails at that since it spills over in other threads from time to time e.g. here)

Of all the shitty one-liner posters, I'm sure that you'd agree that one of them stands out like a sore thumb. Said poster even got a few bans in quick succession because he can't stop randomly attacking people.

I disagree with a lot of what xDaunt says, but I don't think he presents himself in a manner that's as unrefined and astonishing as Testie.

He's a progamer, and he's always been a bit of a character. Nothing shocking there, reallly.

Oh, I got a small little sample in this thread reminding me why I never go into any political thread on TL. 
Thanks for that guys.

maybe the problem is when non-regulars jump into a discussion thread and take everything out of context. discussions have a history and comments should be viewed in light of that history. maybe that's why testie has contributed to the overall shitty torrent-posting in that thread that has made it a deluge of stupid. a year ago the thread seemed more like a roundtable discussion. now there are a bunch of idiots posting banal opinions without bothering to get to know anybody in the thread.

As long as you bump it meaningfully. If it's a bump just for the sake of bumping, I'll swing my hammer

Bump it by asking seeker if he enjoys banning for necros.

Of course, finding an idea atrocious is a personal thing.
For me, advocating torture, "utterly destroying societies that are not receptive to our ideas" (I quote as it was said) and killing innocent civilians if they are related to bad guys is atrocious. You can get a taste of all the wonderful opinions of xDaunt on the US thread.
But again, some people think that way and I find interesting to see what are the reasoning behind such ideas. I simply have never met in person someone with this kind of opinions, and well, that's what internet is good for. Discussing with people whose point of view is utterly ununderstandable to you and see if you can make sense of what they say.

That thread is going to hell already. It's a shame that all of it is in that "shitty but not quite banworthy" limbo that doesn't quite feed souls to the ABL.
