Wombat-eX? It’s actually my long-standing Twitter handle yo, well without the hyphen. Not out of any admiration of the ex of the Combat variety mind, just some bastard got in to be the first unadorned and naked WombaT
Whoever they are probably merits the nick to be fair, the fact that I’m 31 next month and my profile pic is from when I was 21 attests to how much I use the thing

On the issue of bans do you guys get a kick out of taking out the trash or is it done with solemn dignity and reluctance like?

Is there a difference between an advertising ban and an adbot ban or is it just how the mod is feeling that day? has anyone ever protested that they are not in fact a bot but an actual person and therefore should not be banned for being an adbot?

not really. "Advertising"is generally shown when a mod uses the reason-dropdown in the backend when banning someone, "adbot" is manually typed in the freeform option

I've had someone PM me before that they weren't a bot and that they didn't realize that they were advertising. I just simply messaged KBB to unban that user.

thats boring i was hoping for some genius who was like "I was advertising but I'm not a bot. I'm just trying to make a living. So can you unban me?"

so was this cause they spent most of the time banned or they just never posted. Very weird.
neveranexit was just temp banned for 2 days by tofucake.
That account was created on 2018-07-12 13:12:19 and had 5 posts.
Reason: You've got 5 posts over 2 years and all of them are balance whining. Post better or don't come back.

Ah, you poor misguided soul - this question reveals just how little you understand about the ban game. You are decades behind the meta, despite ban reason cookie cutter build orders and banning information being more readily accessible than ever.
If a person is reportedly being banned for a repeated offense for only 2 days, after 2 years and 5 posts total, how can they possibly hope to have been banned for the majority of those 2 years?
My first year posting on TL, I got banned for like 180 of my first 365 days, accruing small infractions here and there and getting hit harder each time. You make it sounds like it's easy to skirt that line and not get permabanned. You make it sound like a walk in the park.
This poster is more likely to be a rage/salt/whine alt than anything else, but it is possible that they are just incredibly stupid, which would be par for the course apparently.

Swarmhosts3232 was just banned by Aesop.
That account was created on 2020-09-21 04:57:27 and had 1 posts.
Reason: Registering account just to complain over balance is not appreciated.
I wonder what this guy got banned for... probably complaining about how OP siege tanks are or something.

I didn't actually realise it was 2 days until after I posted it. Weird I wonder if the guy forgets about the account than remembers it and is like "I need to complain about balance"

The title of the post they got banned for is additional evidence that could be used to come to the right conclusion as to the subject of the balance whine.
Any mod powers in determining the correct answer here is cheating, of course.

If this thread was on Alara it’d be the Automated Bant List.
That’s all I’ve got.

are nuked posts/users always malicious/advertising related or can they be just random spam/extremely low quality?

A poster only gets nuked if they're advertising links that we don't want our community members exposed to. They won't get nuked if they're just shitty posters.
