Doesn't this take away a lot of numbers from teamliquid's viewers? Not to critique because I love the community and teamliquid is basically the best website I've ever been on <3, but it seems to me like it would be more advantageous to simply permanently ban members from posting on the teamliquid forums, rather than to permanently ban them from viewing them. You get rid of the bad manner but keep the members. Edit: just curious, is there any reason why you guys haven't ever done this? | ||

That person can still view TL.net, but not login. They can even try to re-register under a different account and try to avoid moderator detection(they usually fail right away, tho some have made a decent number of posts before being found out). But I'm also pretty sure that they've IP banned some people who just wouldn't get the message. | ||

Looking at the top left, you can see only 25% of TL logs in. | ||

When someone posts "ZOMG PvZ so Imba, FUUU!!!" in an LR thread, it's like getting points for a suicide. Must certainly take some of the pleasure and satisfaction from the work.  | ||

But otherwise, pretty good. Eh no one ever gets banned because of these anymore sadly. I've seen ret get called a troll for building drones, MVP called a bonjwa after winning GSL, and if they were banning for misuse of the term "timing attack" gretorp would have been ip banned after one day of NASL. I don't think even chill gets mad at people (publicly) for misusing Starcraft terms anymore. Every other post in the strategy forum uses "metagame" for something it doesn't mean, and "push" is basically synonymous with attack now. I gave up caring about it too much when I saw Liquipedia 2 refer to the initial attack with the zerglings from a 6-pool as a "push." On the other hand the community has warped "cheese" into a hyper-specific definition unique to the given situation. | ||

I don't understand how so many people would be viewing teamliquid without an account logged in. Do you have statistics on how many of the current viewers are banned currently? | ||

WINNINGID8 was just temp banned for 90 days by LosingID8. That account was created on 2011-03-17 01:31:50 and had 0 posts. Reason: I hope you suffer. Rofl, guess he didn't learn his lesson after 1 week ban  (is your student actually doing anything or are you just teasing him?) | ||

As you can read all the threads with a normal account as when you are not logged in, then the only reason to get one is to post on it (as opposed to visiting the site solely to read news). | ||

Jerome was just temp banned for 2 days by Chill. That account was created on 2011-02-07 03:25:28 and had 9 posts. Reason: Going into a thread about a Starcraft 2 league to complain about Starcraft 2 can only be described as irrational. Perfect argument to shoot down complainers about balance. | ||

Quite a few people have multiple bans in that span, so probably not >3000 unique bans. | ||

Most of these have been pretty hilarious, but I don't get why people are still allowed to get away with what they do sometimes, especially whining in the wrong threads? I would second the TL.net temp purge, though I may end up getting caught in that o.O I was wondering what the lockdown and nuke icons are for, if someone could tell me? Tdot is no one special. He's just a bad poster famous for his inhuman persistence, registering dozens of new accounts at a time to harass TL. He didn't do a good job. The nuke icon indicates that the user is permanently banned, while the Lockdown icon indicates a temporary ban. | ||

On a lot of forums the incentive to register, even if not intending to post, is that it tracks your unread posts and you can click a button to go right to the first unread post in a given thread. TL doesn't do that yet (annoyingly) so the impetus for someone with no interest in posting to register is lower. | ||

Edit: Nice reasoning here Jibba. imbs was just banned by Jibba. That account was created on 2010-09-29 19:16:59 and had 320 posts. Reason: You were a much better member before you started posting. You've been warned about being a shit poster so many times in various SC2 subforums, and then you do it in the Strategy section. That's a nono. | ||
