Yeah, I asked myself that too but then I realized. People would just keep making threads about or take the discussion somewhere it shouldn't be. Automated ban thread, Idra's stream thread or someplace similar. I'm assuming they made this to isolate the discussion and even make it easier to moderate the replies which will more than likely require a few temps."
Am I the only one that doesn't understand this one? The post isn't offensive at all... it's just informative. I have no idea why he was banned to be honest.
*edit : nevermind, I looked through the thread and found my answer. The quote is who was banned. Woops.

I would say there is still a lot cleaning up and restoring order going on in Japan right now, that is more important to him than TL.
But if you are desperate for a reaction you can try the Rekrul approach, it certainly got him out of hiding that time around.

Ahahah thank you so much for posting that thread. So suspenseful for a few pages until Manifesto himself posts and is like "The fuck is this?"
I'm also wondering where he is but I assume it's like you posted. His wife's family is japanese and he lives in Japan. Not a tough decision to give up TL for a while. He already posted that he was fine (probably to avoid a situation like your link) so that's all that truly matters. All we can do is wait a few weeks/months until he, hopefully, comes back and starts throwing a few ban grenades (because hammers just aren't enough these days).

Yeah that's what I was hinting at. Possibly the greatest thread ever. He does seem to disappear at times. Didn't think about the Japanese thing. Makes sense I suppose.
Oh well, we will have to wait for his manliness to return. Though to be honest based on the ban list right know, he is probably hatching some crazy plan to purge the site for good. Speaking of, has he been overtaken on the all-time ban list yet? If so, lord help us

Whoa. Manifesto's response on page 12 is craazy! His school, his grandfather, and the Canadian Consulate? Maybe we should try the "Rekrul approach lite" this time around instead. What an interesting lesson in how close knit and well-meaning (if accidentally mischievous) this community can be.

What the fuck is going on.
Today is Saturday. Today I recieved three calls. The first one was from Saro, saying that I need to check in with this website.
The second was from the vice-principal of my school, who is worried that I am in trouble in Korea. Through the commnication barrier he seems to think that this is a school matter, because somebody (Dan) is calling me at school. This is a very important man, and I am at the bottom of the totem pole... not a good idea.
The third is from my 78 year old terminally ill grandfather, because he was contacted by the Canadian Consulate. Apparently somebody has reported me missing and the consulate contacted my emergency contacts. Now my grandfather is worried that I am sick or dead, and waited up until 3 am to call me. THIS IS A DYING MAN PEOPLE.
THINK BEFORE MEDDLING IN SOMEBODY'S REAL LIFE.
Now I am sorry that I have caused worry. I apologize that I have not been to this StarCraft website for a few weeks. I am sorry that I am not on MSN. These are factors that are currently out of my control. My life is not one of a high school student, college students, or drop out. My life is pretty difficult at the moment, and I don't have time to sleep let alone work on StarCraft. The details are not really any of anybody's business, but suffice to say that I will not be coming back to StarCraft any time soon.

He cannot escape....
Rekrul went pretty crazy there. You can imagine trying to explain to your new boss that some dude from a gaming website was worried about you, hence the random phone call. Awkward
The history of TL is just so amazing. You get every kind of people on here.

Kid wasn't whining about balance at all there, but maybe his post history says otherwise. Then again ETT likes to take statements out of context so I can see why he'd single out just the "whine" part and not "balance whine"
Lol, thanks for the vote of confidence.
But seriously, it was a LR thread that had already started to derail due to the off-topic conversation, primarily around, you guessed it, balance concerns. So of course we put extra emphasis on the "No Balance Discussion/Whines" that we keep for all LR threads, and he immediately comes in right after, obviously seeing the warning since he prefaces it, and still continues to make a comment about a topic we just asked to keep out of a thread.
It wasn't severe obviously, but IMO a blatant disregard for what we're trying to do. I'm all for people sharing their opinions in the right medium, but christ, if you see a big warning that says "Don't push the red button" and you go up and press the red button... what do you think is going to happen?
That said, it was only a 2 day ban which is meant to be a 'slap on the wrist'. If it makes him think more clearly before he posts next time, then it did it's job.

Lets face it, apparently TL is now in the business of supporting cheaters as long as they beat people the mods don't like. "Oh but there isn't complete 100% proof that he was cheating!". Hi, watch the game with the idra audio on and you can pretty much tell that cruncher was cheating.
User was temp banned for this post.
How this was only a two-day is beyond me.

Then yeah it definitely falls under the "whine" portion, and if you guys were trying to stop that sort of posting then it's justified.
