This thread is for discussing recent bans. Don't discuss other topics here. Take it to website feedback if you disagree with a ban or want to raise an issue. Keep it civil.NOTE: For those of you who want to find the actual ABL thread where the bans are posted. Please look in here: https://tl.net/forum/closed-threads/ |
You didn't lol. That was even harsher than the ban conversation.

Whoa, apparently I missed a lot. I feel like i've been asleep for the last few days. Uh, did Probe's ban get reversed or did it wear off...? >,< I'm confused about everything... Also, this is the first time I see a star poster temp'd, aside from Physician a while back, he posted an image macro or a balance whine of some sort.

And there was me thinking of entering the Korean Music thread to get some references for music at work....and now I'll be forever put off there.
It's like the Mafia forum for me. Just doesn't feel safe in there

What is the recent ban of jdseemoreglass all about? I see he was allegedly banned for an inflammatory post in a political thread in which he did some straw-manning and culminated in the derogatory use of the word "comrade", which was not the best quallity post I've seen, but not really that bad either. He was banned for two weeks (initially, before foolishly trying to circumvent the ban), it seems with prior warnings.
What strikes me as particularly curious, is that he was banned by a moderator with some history of posting in political threads, and getting in arguments with jdseesmoreglass and those who share his opinions. In fact the attached explanation to the ban in the automated ban list even bears signs of personal strife, claiming that jdseemoreglass comes off as "insufferable" in "every post" he makes, which I find to be rather ridiculous. The only thing insufferable (to some) about the vast majority of his posts is the very opinion they represent, not the way in which they represent it, unless one is holding him to an exceedingly high standard.
Admittedly there's nothing wrong with a moderator expressing derision to the person he temp-bans, even irrational anger - that in itself hardly suggests that the ban was undeserved. This particular ban though, strikes me as overkill at the very least. And I do find this moderator somewhat suspect of unrestrained political bias, given some of his own posting history.
With some drama, I might ask if I'm at risk for posting right-wing comments on tl.net that are even slightly inflammatory or unconstructive? He does this kind of stuff a lot....
If I were really banning people based on political opinions that I disagree with, there'd be a lot more banned people on TL. It's not what he says, it's how he says it. He was warned and banned multiple times in the past for making it impossible to have a reasonable discussion. Every politics post he makes incites a flamewar. People should be able to have fun on TL, and any post he makes in a political thread instantly makes it way harder to have a fun, constructive discussion.

Wow. I go to sleep, and Probe gets banned and unbanned, and Roffles gets banned for his usual posting. lol

Oh... wow...
I´d be totally in awe of that pun right now if I wouldn´t be so shocked that I actually get it.

I for one would like to support Roffles for his blatant statements and obvious trolling in the KMD thread. Makes it really fun to read, sometimes he really puts the truth out there. Let me say it another way, he puts the life into that thread which would otherwise be just endless praising of different artists, making it a "Korean Music Praise" thread, KMP. Well, looks like he stepped over the line too many times to get away with the last one.
For his own good, I think he should better tune the delivery of his opinions, but I hope he continues to express his opinions in the KMD thread.

Seriously, he only does this to get a rise out of the SONEs, as they're the most sensitive about this. Everyone else gets dissed one way or another and nobody really takes a bait out of it; comment on SNSD's lack of *insert whatever here* and you get at least one white-knighting post. People just need to be less reactive to the whole thing, Roffles is just the type of K-Pop guy who gets his kicks from provoking the fanatics.

I just saw Probes' and Roffles' Bans (damn apostrophes). Well, I can't comment on the KMD, but I loved Probes' comeback after the ban + Show Spoiler +On November 17 2011 13:04 Probe1 wrote:Show nested quote +On November 17 2011 06:47 Probe1 wrote:Ha I just posted that somewhere else yesterday On November 16 2011 04:46 Probe1 wrote:Ever since the TL site change I've had Elly crying up 60% of the time (every time). ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/G5YBx.jpg) Shits starting to get weird.

Mannified was just banned by Empyrean.
That account was created on 2011-08-05 19:18:53 and had 27 posts.
Reason: It's just not working out.

That joke didn't quite go over as planned... I don't know, the content was rather rash to begin with, but the delivery only served to worsen the situation for our aspiring comedian, Mannified. May his luck lie with another forum.
I'm wondering too, though, why did Probe get let off with his ban? Was it deemed that his post was after all, appropriate?

We need Probe in the MLG threads. That is all.

Probe is a special case, he's basically on the writing staff these days. Granted I think he should be permed for his obvious HuK hating in his GSL predictions, but that's just IMO.  + Show Spoiler +I mean come on, after ro32 how could you not select HuK to come out over Nestea? Clearly hatin'
And it should be common sense that jokes about mass murder = bad jokes.

By that logic, Fionn should be banned for predicting any player to win a game in the GSL

In code S, any player that's not HuK, yes.
For code A, the only answers I will accept are Hero and Boxer.

Wait till the picture. All will be revealed then, including why Fionn has this power to end GSL runs. Which reminds me.
A lot of you guys have yet to send me one (you know who you are)
