Best ban ever. I almost reported that guy for posting the least funny picture possible but I didn't because I felt it would be stupid. Then 30 minutes later I see he gets banned. I don't really understand that ban, and I also don't understand why you're happy about it. It's the funny pics thread. It's filled to the brim with memes, troll faces etc., and noone seems to care. Then someone shows up with yet another halfway clever troll pic - and gets a ban? What's the reasoning behind that? I found the picture funny, I know I had a good laugh when encountering my very first youtube troll jpg/gif. well you get banned here for saying your opinion, so it doesnt surprise me, that a mod bans someone for not having the same humor as said mod. if i were mod, i would ban hot_bit for every "troll"interview he has ever done.
What? No? How is this even remotely close?

So why exactly haven't you been banned for this post? Seems to be proving itself wrong.
I tend to agree with the vast majority of bans, even, painfully, my own temp. (Although I would have decided to ban me for an entirely different subset of my posting than the mods did, the overall pattern they temped me for was hard to argue.)

I also agree with almost every ban that I see on this site, but that one in the funny pictures thread does annoy me, I first thought it was because it was a video not a picture but when I read what he posted I looked back and realized it wasn't a video (I wasn't going to watch it) and that actually did make me laugh, I really think this is too close to the mod deciding what is or isn't funny because that certainly wasn't inappropriate.

Eh, I'd tend to agree that a weak trolling attempt falls under unfunny. But then, I avoid that thread like the plague anyway.

I think everyone pretty much agrees with the bans on this site. If not there would have been some kind of TeamLiquid revolution by now. The only people who disagree are probably the people getting banned and the people who like the trashy internet\meme humor. And I have never seen someone banned for their opinion on TL. There's a difference between a well articulated opinion and spurting out a shitty 1-liner.

Wow, you traitor.  This would have been for the betterment of ESPORTS, but noooo.
Well, you'd better make a kickass thread then.

What is your post supposed to be about? Please explain, because I don't understand how we went from a questionable ban for meme humor to linking meme humor in general to bans and the difference between legit opinions and "shitty 1-liners".
The funny pic thread is FULL with meme humor. Hundreds of meme pictures. Because it's the one place on TL were memes are allowed. If a SFW troll picture in the funny thread has become a ban reason, then we can just as well shut the whole thread down or outright ban half of its major contributors.
It's alright if you personally don't like meme pics. Perfectly fine. But personal taste in humor, as long as it's within the thread rules and general forum rules, should never be a reason for a ban. Simple as that.

you never seen someone banned for their opinion? okay go to the BW-section and say something along the lines of "i would like it if player xyz changes to sc2". they get extremely emotional over there, because their game is dying probably lol.

actually bw isnt dying in korea as much as its speculated that it is, there is apparently still new blood being drafted into prohouses despite all of the sponsors pulling out on teams and mbc being gone soon the game seems as though it will stabilize soon so long as OGN sticks around

That's not being banned for an opinion. That's being banned for being a troll and trying to start a flamewar.
