Has he been temp banned that much? He's a bit of an edgelord in the EU politics, but generally backs off before he can get himself into real trouble. But maybe he shitposted more in the BW threads?

He really seemed like a Shield clone in the making, as far as I'm concerned. Question is, will he come back on angry alts to complain about the ban now?

sc-darkness was just banned by Seeker.

That account was created on 2017-08-15 04:42:15 and had 856 posts.

Reason: I honestly don't feel like you and TL are a good fit. Let's just part ways.


Anyone find the context?

I have no idea if it's related, but we had kind of a pm war today.

So I haven't logged into TL for a while and I saw I had a PM, which was strange, because I'm not really part of any group here for people to just PM me. It was from him (sc-darkness), sent to me on June 30th, and it was a question about Tinder. I used to be active in the Dating thread, but not for a long while, and even if he read my older stories, I wasn't sure why exactly would he PM me about such a question when there are clearly more experienced and suave guys in that thread.

Anyway, I jokingly asked him if he was a bot or something, and if he meant to message me, as it may have been a mistake. Then he went all passive-aggressive on me, so I put him in his place, that if he can't even introduce himself when he sends a PM to a stranger, then maybe don't bitch at me if I act surprised. This went on for a while, and first he threatened to report me, then told me he did so. I told him to go ahead, because not only he was the one who started it all, I haven't sent him any PMs that wasn't a reply to his, so I can hardly harass someone who keeps writing letters to me.

"I'm a very secure person, but you just can't stop spamming, can you? Let's see when moderators will shut you up." - his last message.

Even if it's unrelated, it's quite the timing for sure. :D

Here's the really funny part though... Even after a perm ban has happened, a ban can still be overruled and the user can either be unbanned or have their perm ban reduced to a temp ban. But instead of waiting for me to reply to his PM, he straight up goes and reports me to Nazgul and Plexa in hopes of trying to get me in trouble.

Lmao, that's what pissed me off the most. I basically grew up during the heyday of the internet boards, so butting heads with strangers is nothing new to me, especially given my nature. But man, there's something spineless in that when you rattle someone up, and then report them to the moderators. That's just disgusting.

Also, what would you even expect? "Hey, the guy I keep sending private messages to keeps replying to them. Please punish him!" Reports are for disruptive (troll) behavior, and not a last ditch effort to signal Batman, so he may pull you out from the very hole you've dug yourself into.

So to know that when even the higher ups agreed that he is a dum-dum, his response was not backing off a few steps, but instead doubling down on his shallowness... wow, if he keeps it up, you guys can soon expect a letter from Strasbourg.

I'm sure he's not back yet, because I would've gotten a response to my last PM, which was a gracious "rekt". Or maybe he's consulting with his lawyers now, I don't know.

We were confused that it was sc-darkness that was the one reporting the pm's.

They're just the guys who argue with absolutely everybody. They are volatile and more likely to make it personal and get themselves banned. But before that, it's also more likely they argued with you: they argue with *everybody*!

No, I am absolutely special and unique and there is nothing you can say that will convince me otherwise.

In sc-darkness case, we agreed on a few things anyways. I always got a sense of amusement over his hatred of British tourists.

The MLG event I went to in Raleigh a number of years ago had a decent amount of security. I can't remember if there were metal detectors, but there was a noticeable amount of security personnel. Nearly all sporting events have the works though. The smaller stuff- i.e. events that take place in stores/bars- generally has next to nothing as far as security goes. The Jacksonville Landing is a mall area, so may have had mall security. Just keep in mind the US is a pretty darn big place and the variance in violent occurrences can be night and day. I've heard from relatives who live in the area that violence in Jacksonville has been a problem recently, but that's hearsay.

i'm going to Tecmo Madison in April next year. I hope there is zero security. it preserves the fun of the event.

I advise you to reconsider your priorites, getting home alive from an event and not in a casket is pretty high up in my list....

thing is, it doesn't matter the good one does here(excluding the working/affiliates dudes here obv.), it'll never compensate for the eventual fuckups, not even for minor ones.
if on the list, you get gunned down; if not, you at most get slapped around(for amusement mostly, sometimes made an educational example of).

Good around here is recognized with TL+ donations, liquipedia coins, featured blogs, and in the particularly outstanding cases, a star. I'm not sure what more you want. You want a get-out-of-jail-free token, so that every time you post something good (definition plz), you can post something bad and not get punished? Seems like a pretty awful way to run a site.

But in addition, grumbels fully deserved the ban. He was told by seeker to stop that line of posting and didn't. I guess you can take it to website feedback whether seeker was right in telling him to stop it. But in all honesty, grumbels should have gotten banned for his first post in that topic. So it evens out

IgnE likes to get himself into trouble. Not sure what is wrong with that joke, but IgnE getting himself banned isn't very surprising.

what you exemplified there are TL's affiliates; even when voluntary, it(the deed, the helping), follows a (personal)choice which comes with its own responsibilities. that quasi-official position is not up for discussion because it's TL's personal territory.

but, if you look at TL as being more than an address bar with specific data on <.xyz.> and see it as some sort of a community, it dings in your head that a good can be performed to/for another community member or something(like writings that would draw clicks/hits, make people laugh/breed positivity etc).

And in the grand scheme of things, I think the community knows who are its good and bad members (okay, TL is both a community and a collection of quite a lot of subcommunities, and people "belong" to any number of them). I'd say both IgnE and Grumbels are "good" members of the community. But IgnE is known as a bit of a rebel, and Grumbels went and did something particularly stupid/nasty. So what exactly is the problem?

And that 3rd ban: I have no idea who that is. Given the ban reason, I don't think you can even count him as part of the "community", but is rather just a troll?

i'm not questioning the bans here(or maybe slightly/not directly) but note that overall, some kind of skewed reinforcement contingency happens here:+ Show Spoiler +
A positive or negative relationship with the reinforcer; can be attained by building dependencies between the reinforcer and the response, as characteristic ramifications to a response, or by accidental means. Also known as: response-reinforcement contingency.
REINFORCEMENT CONTINGENCY: "Reinforcement contingency is a positive or negative relationship between the reinforcer and the response."

there is an overbearing preference here for putting good in line(via rules/definitions), in its place, questioning its meaning(semanticism) etc which culminates in"...the loss of rewards for positive behavior leads to eventual extinction of such behaviors." which according to psychotherapy means that eventually only assholes will remain.

no one enjoys being good or doing good anymore because there's no one to share it with or it's to hard to even try.
