No matter what the mods do they cant win, it is a thankless job. I bet it is even rare for them to all agree. Basically. It’s a hard balance to strike. I like TL because the moderation is pretty strict and people can’t spam nonsense, be total pricks and I recognise a lot of names. As a general approach anyway, don’t always agree with specific bans though. Some people prefer things to be more free in that sense and you can’t really reconcile the two differing tastes there. | ||

It was a cluster f- of people who were just angry all the time. It can't be on the mods that no matter how many notes and warnings were left, people just had fits of rage that sucked in everyone around them. | ||

Really seemed like he was externalizing it to some global moderation standard that TL did not keep up with but I admit my interpretation may be wrong. Looking forward to his response. | ||

I got banned a few times but for dumb shit as I was a kid mostly who didn’t know any better, but TL has always shown me they care about their members and personal growth. | ||

I am sure Seeker will throw a party. The only thing I am gonna regret is blocked PMs, so if someone wants to talk to me, you can either email me at janebr@email.cz or find me ... whereever as my tag is completely unique. User was banned for this post. Mere days later, they banned all that was good in the world gracevirtue was just banned by Aesop. That account was created on 2019-12-19 17:14:55 and had 0 posts. Reason: Advertising. | ||

A very large majority of posts on TL are useless, senseless or straight mean/aggressive (or any combination of the above). Yet it seems obvious for everyone that fluidrone was supposed to be permed, even though he has only been doing the same as anyone else but with originality, and if you care to actually read a bit, with quite some insight. I'm all for harsh moderation, at least it can help keeping things clean by overkilling. But there are just mostly personal vendettas and weird immunity for others at this point. It's senseless. | ||

I liked fluidrone personally, and there was some wisdom in plenty of what he said. Originality for its own sake is overrated, comprehensible frameworks exist for a reason, and some of his posts read like something that has been written, google translated to another language, translated to another one and translated back. English isn’t the first language of many people here, but I don’t think it’s a factor here at all, a lack of basic punctuation allied to fluid having a pretty damn flowery vocabulary in English are pretty indicative of someone deliberately posting in an obtuse manner. Not directly comparable but my local bar had this guy who, while harmless, couldn’t handle his alcohol and talked utter drivel to people all the time, annoying the fuck of many regulars including myself. Staff asked him constantly to stop bothering other punters, despite conceding he wasn’t being malicious but eventually banned him from the premises because he was pissing so many people off and didn’t moderate his behaviour at all. | ||

I have 'visually' banned quite some people here. I just don't care about them and life goes on. I do not see why he should have been any different for concerned fellow TLers. | ||
