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/ |
As far as new users are concerned (i.e. anyone with less than 1000 or so quality posts to their name), this site is Holy Ground. The veterans are the users who've consistently shown respect to the site and to others and that's why they're still here. Show them some respect.
In practice, this policy means a user who has thousands of posts may be able to get away with a few minor transgressions in etiquette with just a warning. If you're at 50 posts and you try the same kind of stunt, then we may just ban you. Harsh? Yes. Unfair? Most definitely. But that's the way life is. Learn to live with it.
This also means you should think twice before calling that guy with 5000+ posts a jackass. If the guy's been with us that long, chances are YOU'RE the one being an idiot. Some battles are just not worth fighting - just move on.

You registered the same time as me. That means I take what you say a little more seriously if I can't see the merit in it at first.
To put it simply, people that have been good to TL get away with things that newer users will not. I don't know how to explain it further- Endymion has written a ton of excellent stuff and earned a fountain pen and a listing among the TL writing staff. It's good to bring this up like you did, both as a warning for new users that how Endymion posts isn't how they should post and as a reminder that we should all remember to add something to the discussion.

It seems like a double standard. But if everyone thinks endy deserves to be treated differently than the rest, I'm ok with it.
Sorry I've wasted forum space with my rant. I have PM-ed Endy and he did not give a decent reply, so I asked here.

If seems like a double standard, that's because it is-- E-dawg is under a different standard because he is a different poster. If some guy with 10 posts comes into a thread and says "u gotta sk8" he'll get warned. E-dawg has earned his sk8ing via his contributions to the site.

Pretty much that. He was posting an inside joke and it's a user that's been here since 09 and is still active and contributes.

TL not being a democracy or an egalitarian society is something one needs to accept.
Although, if you think thoroughly about it, it really isn't that easy. Long time members and contributors have proven their worth for the community while others haven't. It's not an absolute but a kind of relative equality - the more you contribute, the more leniency you receive afterwards.
People not getting that idea and calling TL a despotism are banned all the time. Some of them, fueled with hatred against the staff, even come back and try to haunt TL. But usually they just end up being ridiculed in this thread :>

Why are some internet memes permissible while others are not? I hate all of them... My recent rant is with a poster named Endymion who writes a lot of "you gotta sk8" which is very annoying... as it adds nothing to the discussion. Here are a few examples: On November 30 2011 13:12 Endymion wrote:
u gotta sk8
furthermore, when is 30/11/2011... On November 18 2011 15:43 Endymion wrote:

What is really funny is that he was nuked but his wisdom lives on. Nobody remembers his name, mainly because what the fuck is that, but his knowledge bomb will never be forgotten.
U gota Sk8!

SlayerSYugiOh was just temp banned for 2 days by Empyrean.
That account was created on 2011-08-28 05:31:33 and had 10 posts.
Reason: Eight out of your ten posts are threads telling the world that you're streaming. Every single one of them is then closed after a few points. Is there something you're not getting here? Stop making these threads.
OMFG!!!! LOL!!!! I NEVER THOUGH YUGIOH WOULD GET BANNED!!!
Quick Question: Maybe he doesn't speak english, and doesn't understand that he's not supposed to make a thread every time he streams?
Or has he been told this before?
|
He has been told in English and Korean. I was wondering how long it would take.

Reason: fuck you and die ad bot, bumping that thread. fuck you in the eye. Classic. When I read this ban, it made me curious: what thread was bumped?
Reading that ban then reading your post about curiosity also made me curious along with Mani's funny reason.
Finding the post that account made could not be done with its name so instead I did it with the date and time worked a charm thanks to Mani being very fast (less then a minute after it posted the ad Mani unsheathed the ban hammer) this is the thread if you are still curious.
My first post in the ABL I'd just like to say it is very entertaining and all the daily posters in here do a great job as do the Mods.

One week until my report buttong, pretty stoked :D
That Micronesia blog was great, thanks Endy/ABL for making it known

Hmm...my opinion doesn't mean much in that matter, but moderating 'taste' in the funny picture thread doesn't seem like a good thing to start.

Agreed. NSFW doesn't entail offensive humor.
