You guys dont understand just how bad koshi had it. He got modkilled in game 2 years ago after being warned twice. Clearly he has had too many burdens. He will overcome this.

Acrofales what do you find funny about someone pointing out that the banning appers to be unjustified as related to the post he was banned for?

Reading the reason given the mod appears to be banning people based on what appears to be a personal grudge. Having been on the recieving end it's rather unpleasant.

Yes, the mods have ultimate power. Afterall, other users don't have the ability to ban or unban people. We all know that. No one disputes that. Anyways, I don't think this is the place to discuss this.


That's one thing I don't get it - what better place to discuss it than here? On Website feedback I feel like that is an elevated complaint, and one that few if any will see. Here, we are supposed to be discussing bans in the automated ban list, but not supposed to discuss whether we agree with the ban or not? Why?

Anyway, once concession I will make is that context is very important in matters like these - although the posts themselves maybe did not warrant a ban directly, if this was in a thread that would make these posts wildly off-topic and he did it consistently, I can understand that (this is what has been inferred). We've also only seen a handful of posts out of his thousands - what if they are all more or less of this nature? While none being blatantly offensive, if each is abrasive, then the cumulative impact would be worthy of a ban for sure. I had my second account permed for something like this. OR, if as someone said, this poster has said very misogynistic things in the past, then even weak allusions to that in these posts would be referencing a greater offense that was actioned in the past.

That is all speculation in an effort to play devil's advocate with my own stance that those posts in a vacuum weren't ban-worthy. My initial impression is that, as others have said, it was a dogmatic action from the mod. Or that the mod is heavyset. No way of knowing.

Late to the party but Sonningtons use to be a pretty vanilla poster but around 2 years ago he started to consistently start posting flame bait and little value especially in the OT thread on LL. He is very much a portal to unpopular subreddits ie fat people hate, the donald, chooses to ignore things like seeing the Kpop industry as perfect etc.

He was banned because he is a troll; the lounge thread has plenty of trolly comments but he did way to consistently. http://www.liquidlegends.net/forum/website-feedback/494741-about-this-warning
http://www.liquidlegends.net/blogs/511892-riots-failed-philosophy-of-egalitarianism#1 Show how he posts. The ban is justified if you go by the commandments but it could as just as easily been seen as ok.

Honestly it was a short story short. The only reason it still gets brought up is how bad BR felt about it and how much fun it was poking his buttons about it.

The best part is that the channel owner was going on vacation, hence Blindedict Rawrnald being granted mod in case it was needed.

Why ? Germany is still, economically, the strongest European country (by far, even), doubtlessly has the potential to become the strongest military in Europe if they want to, and is also the key holding the EU together. If we look at economic indicators, the unemployment rate was at more than 10% when she took office, in 2005, and is today nearing 4% ; meanwhile, the GDP went up by roughly 30%, average wages went up, etc. By comparison, in France during the same timespan, under 3 different Presidents and 5 different Prime Ministers, unemployment rate went from 8.5% to 10%, and the GDP went up by only 10%.

(source : www.tradingeconomics.com)


People outside Germany only see the immigrant controversy and don't understand that most Germans are actually fine with refugees and immigrants, so they think Merkel is the root of all evil. Germany took more refugees than any other country and came out stronger while their own countries took the opportunity to blame everything on refugees to avoid actually improving things, e.g. "Oh, unemployment is high, sorry, we can't do anything with all the refugees streaming in. Blame Merkel."


And where to you get your inside few that most Germans are fine with it? Having grown up in a multicultural city and worked there until last year when I finally got the chance to say goodbye to Germany, none of the people from my workplace or friends support the immigration policies. Most of the former immigrants too. They are not quite at the level were theyd vote for a right wing party but most of them told me they are planning to leave Germany as well.

How did Germany come out stronger from taking in the refugees? Crime rates have surged and most of the refugees will never contribute anything to the country. They are a drain on the whole society and the full impact will only become visible in 10 years. I like how some Germans often portray the world as crazy even though every other country saw the problems this shortsighted and idiotic immigration policy will have. Now they slowly admit to positiones that were labelled right wing/nazi only 1 year ago. To be honest I think the refugees was a major contributor to the rise of populist and right wing parties in the world given that people realized how deluded and shortsighted to current "democratic" (i.e. party oligarchies in the west) governments have become. It definitely was the deciding factor for Brexit.

One and a half years ago they said you were crazy if you mentioned theyd be terrorist in the refugees (i.e. the guys fleeing from the syrian army advances - mainly supporters of al-nusra, ISIS and other islamist calling themself the free syrian army). Now we have daily raids on terrorist supporters and I dont even want to count the number of attacks perpetrated by people that came in as refugees.

One year ago they said cologne was committed by these bad north africans who just pretend to be refugees. This year a mob of the same men came again and after police controlled them it turned out most of them are syrians.

I could go on and on about this topic but I dont blame you for your ignorance. You live in a different world and I truly hope that my fears wont become true and Germany keeps on going as always. I personally have drawn my conclusion having lived in a muslim dominated neighbourhood and also studied in a muslim country for half a year. While I called many of them my friends, I would never want my children to grow up with these people. Islam is the most hateful doctrine in the world and bringing in a mass of young, uneducated islamic men is a recipe for disaster of disproportional impact for the future of my former homeland. A state that does not control its border is not state at all so for me the German government has failed in every possible aspect. While a rebellion in Germany seems unlikely, I wouldnt consider it unjustified.

This one makes me a bit sad. I could instantly see that it was going to get a ban but it was a genuinely insightful post into the frustrations of certain people with troubling developments.

Saying that is advocating for it.. sad to see you so short sighted seeing what you do in real life.

2 days for typing that sentence is lenient and just as bad as what ohhpuisque typed, a kiddie poster asking for it to be changed/more lenient is just as bad. 2 days without tl is not like 2 months (not saying that's what the ban should have been, just that that would be maybe something to ask to be reduced).
Anyway, nice to see people advocating politely for a ban to be shorten, even if it looks ridiculous, it still seems good to see someone ask (leniency for anyone, just because it shows that guy has friends at least).

edit: obvious bait maybe, but not every bait should be ignored, for obvious reasons

I posted this over there but I think it should also be posted here so it may be seen.

there are no protected areas of tl.net.

nevertheless, wtf:

Go tell the jews that they should stop complaining about what Hitler did.


I wonder how long it will take before this becomes an acceptable metaphor. Because it is eventually gonna happen and then some historians will talk about how backwards people were in the beginning of the 21st century when they persecuted such speech. Oh my, just imagine what if TL will for some reason be the only well-preserved source for our time period at some point in the future - so much to learn about the primitive pre.....whatever society!

(The temptation to start a discussion about how the sentence is actually applicable to certain geopolitical issues is strong, if nothing then for the chance to be banned by a German for that, but I know better )

Germany, of all European countries, seems least likely to have a populist revolution of sorts. But as someone said way upthread, history will not be as kind to Merkel and her leadership as the German electorate is right now.

Why ? Germany is still, economically, the strongest European country (by far, even), doubtlessly has the potential to become the strongest military in Europe if they want to, and is also the key holding the EU together. If we look at economic indicators, the unemployment rate was at more than 10% when she took office, in 2005, and is today nearing 4% ; meanwhile, the GDP went up by roughly 30%, average wages went up, etc. By comparison, in France during the same timespan, under 3 different Presidents and 5 different Prime Ministers, unemployment rate went from 8.5% to 10%, and the GDP went up by only 10%.

(source : www.tradingeconomics.com)


People outside Germany only see the immigrant controversy and don't understand that most Germans are actually fine with refugees and immigrants, so they think Merkel is the root of all evil. Germany took more refugees than any other country and came out stronger while their own countries took the opportunity to blame everything on refugees to avoid actually improving things, e.g. "Oh, unemployment is high, sorry, we can't do anything with all the refugees streaming in. Blame Merkel."


And where to you get your inside few that most Germans are fine with it? Having grown up in a multicultural city and worked there until last year when I finally got the chance to say goodbye to Germany, none of the people from my workplace or friends support the immigration policies. Most of the former immigrants too. They are not quite at the level were theyd vote for a right wing party but most of them told me they are planning to leave Germany as well.

How did Germany come out stronger from taking in the refugees? Crime rates have surged and most of the refugees will never contribute anything to the country. They are a drain on the whole society and the full impact will only become visible in 10 years. I like how some Germans often portray the world as crazy even though every other country saw the problems this shortsighted and idiotic immigration policy will have. Now they slowly admit to positiones that were labelled right wing/nazi only 1 year ago. To be honest I think the refugees was a major contributor to the rise of populist and right wing parties in the world given that people realized how deluded and shortsighted to current "democratic" (i.e. party oligarchies in the west) governments have become. It definitely was the deciding factor for Brexit.

One and a half years ago they said you were crazy if you mentioned theyd be terrorist in the refugees (i.e. the guys fleeing from the syrian army advances - mainly supporters of al-nusra, ISIS and other islamist calling themself the free syrian army). Now we have daily raids on terrorist supporters and I dont even want to count the number of attacks perpetrated by people that came in as refugees.

One year ago they said cologne was committed by these bad north africans who just pretend to be refugees. This year a mob of the same men came again and after police controlled them it turned out most of them are syrians.

I could go on and on about this topic but I dont blame you for your ignorance. You live in a different world and I truly hope that my fears wont become true and Germany keeps on going as always. I personally have drawn my conclusion having lived in a muslim dominated neighbourhood and also studied in a muslim country for half a year. While I called many of them my friends, I would never want my children to grow up with these people. Islam is the most hateful doctrine in the world and bringing in a mass of young, uneducated islamic men is a recipe for disaster of disproportional impact for the future of my former homeland. A state that does not control its border is not state at all so for me the German government has failed in every possible aspect. While a rebellion in Germany seems unlikely, I wouldnt consider it unjustified.

User was temp banned for this post.



This one makes me a bit sad. I could instantly see that it was going to get a ban but it was a genuinely insightful post into the frustrations of certain people with troubling developments.


No need to beat around the bush: this is a stupid ban and the mod in question should feel ashamed of himself. This ohmygodhecalledislamhatefulwhatanazi mentality may turn out to be the key component in the rise of the fourth reich. At least my jew-related prediction above would then come to reality sooner, even if for a completely different reason.

I now we should be cheerful here, but this is alarmingly unfunny. The saddest part is that the people causing the most harm are deeply convinced of doing good. Ironically, the other side that they are nurturing will be convinced of the same when time comes.
