That's pretty standard fare around here (particularly the US in general). I'm really struggling to find what makes this comment seem so out of bounds to so many people? | ||

If he dithered for a sentence or two on the exact same conclusion, he'd be identical to around a quarter of posters in the US Pol thread. It's the succinct thought that damns him here. But I understand that moderation has to operate efficiently in the model of this website, so it has a large systemic component. | ||

Seems more like hurt feelings than a particularly egregious comment. I've heard worse out of the Obama administration (and liberals in general) so it just doesn't strike me as beyond the norm. Maybe there's something I'm missing, but this simply isn't that bad of a comment relatively imo. | ||

What I deem as an inappropriate comment and a bannable offense may not be the same for others, and vice versa. Also keep in mind that certain users on this site have already burned many bridges and have a terrible mod note page or pages. In those instances, we won't be as lenient as we would be to other relatively "newer" offenders. Looking at LL's mod page, he does not have a good track record with us. Him, along with a handful of others, are always walking on eggshells on this site. In those cases, when we carry out a mod action on them, the duration is often longer because we have given them enough second chances. | ||

Certainly appears to be a situation where someone was personally offended because this particular comment struck too close to home and then lashed out and justified it (perhaps legitimately) with a bad posting history from LL. Which is fine, your house and all, just seemed people were acting all aghast as if he had crossed some clear line. While to me it appeared that the victims LL didn't show any particular affinity toward we're more valued (by someone with moderation power) than the people who are more regularly treated with comparable disregard and by someone with a notably disliked posting history. Then people pretending to be (or were just displaying a shocking lack of self-awareness?) offended. | ||

The banning system just provides so many opportunities for cool features that a normal user never sees. I wonder how large is the percentage of TL's code dedicated to all things banning | ||

I'm not there frequently enough to know for sure, but I'd wager a guess that it's not such a stretch. Not sure he was celebrating so much as marking it as an unsurprising fate either. Either way, I'd rather see the standard comparably raised in the US thread rather than lowered in the UK thread. | ||

I must say I only now read LL's ban reason and I am terrified a bit. Sure, I hate that guy to some extent and I make fun about being happy he's gone for a while, but I'd be sad if he got permed. It's absurd to ban someone just for showing a political stance, in particular when it is a political stance shared by some hundred million people - and believe me, many things that LL show are just a window into the mind of a Russian person. Here with the added bonus that the person actually has more intellect than vodka in their skull. So yeah, there are reasons to keep him around. I somewhat see why he got banned for what he wrote, but even that was more emotional than logical. Didn't westerners rejoice when bin Laden was killed? Or any other "enemy of the western civilization". This poisoned guy was just the same thing to many Russians (the pro-regime ones that are apparently still a strong majority in the country). Pretending it's not true won't make this fact disappear. | ||

LegalLord was just temp banned for 1 week by KwarK. That account was created on 2013-04-06 03:39:42 and had 11170 posts. Reason: Honestly I just don't know why we keep you around here. You have literally no redeeming qualities. None. | ||

LL can be pro Russia, but the guy needs to pick his moments. | ||
