That's separate to the issue and I don't care what people think the definition is. Don't be a Danglars, because you want to win an internet argument. I don't care nor want to talk about your definitions of a conspiracy. Where did the guy wrote there is a conspiracy theory? You labelled him as a conspiracy theorist for no reason. He asked a reasonable question and got a reply from Kwark. That's all that happened. I disagree with you, I've explained why. I did not label him a conspiracy theorist, I said he had presented a conspiracy theory, this was not a insult but a statement of fact. Having a conspiracy does not make someone bad, nor does believing it, it only becomes a problem when people start treating their theories like facts. You agree he spoke of a conspiracy, you agree he had a theory (did not have proof) why you think that is not a conspiracy theory is beyond me but by all means feel free to continue, you just will do so without me. Also, there is no need to insult me and I am nothing like Danglars. dmcd is right. i dont think you know how to use the term "conspiracy theory" properly. I disagree with you also, and agree with the definitions, go figure.
Funny how that works out :D

Hello everyone and welcome to USPOL 2.0.

This makes me wish I had gotten my philosophy degree with a focus on deconstruction like i originally wanted too. then I could write an entire essay on how to define a conspiracy theory.
Honestly though unless TL is specifically banning it as a conspiracy theory it doesn't really matter if it technically qualifies or not (and with words people always use them differently and there's a lot of grey area.) Given SC's history it makes sense to not allow specific accusations of match fixing which can have serious consequences until theirs actual evidence that's more solid then just something looking weird.

Nowhere have you said he presented a conspiracy theory. He has done no such thing. He asked why he was warned, which is btw a reasonable question from a new poster, and he got an answer from Kwark. That's all that happened. The conspiracy theory stuff is all yours.
But this is a good example of a successful deflection for all readers. By turning a simple question (where did you get conspiracy theory from?) into focusing on something else (posting a definition of a conspiracy), you turn external observers into thinking that the argument is about the definition of a conspiracy theory and that there was a conspiracy theory posted, where there was none at all, distracting from the issue that you was talking about conspiracy theorists for no reason at all...

It's in the mod note. Stay on topic.

OK, sorry, I'll stop now. But do warnings not count as bans? They are related after all.
Also we kind of started discussing that stuff here because Seeker kind of said it was ok to discuss other stuff here which is why we started talking here for these kind of posts instead of the feedback threadOn October 04 2020 09:54 Seeker wrote:In all honesty, this thread was created back in 2009, so the purpose of this thread is really outdated. Back when TL was booming and had a TON of people getting banned left and right, it created a lot of really funny content for people to discuss about, and the atmosphere was really good. It was pretty much the online equivalent of sitting down with your bros, popping open a beer, and talking about all the funny stuff that went down with those bans. Now that TL has significantly downsized in terms of community activity, and because it's now 11 years later, this thread might serve a much better purpose if we turn it into an actual official thread in which bans can both be discussed and challenged. Correct. They can always do that.

Does Seeker even have a birthday? I’d say it’s more an incept date.
I suppose cake can be provided to celebrate either occasion though so happy cake day!

are we sure seeker even exists? like the username exists but is there an actual person behind it and like is the being behind it fundamentally equivalent enough to seeker to say there is someone that exists and its not just some manifold of specific expression carefully cultivated for some unknowable purpose?
(I'm not drunk or high my brain just won't turn the hell off and this is where it goes too sometimes.)

what was going on in the shieldbattery thread? Looks like somebody/something really wanted to get a point across

Tappo the deranged Blizzard shill made his 100th account to try to derail the conversation because people dare to judge Blizzard on their handling of X game. Pay no mind, don't feed the troll, etc.

He's made way more than 100 accounts.

I suppose everyone needs a lockdown hobby. I hope one day to find a lady as devoted to me as he is to defending Blizzard’s honour anyway

You would think if someone were to make a billion alts, they'd have a little fun with the usernames instead of just rolling their face on their keyboard. Or you could spell out a message with a series of usernames to get around being nuked. Surely that's happened here before?
