Let me just say that multiple mods read ZeroCartin's post but declined to take action. When I read his post, I was unaware he was staff. | ||

I'd be happy to explain my actions. This thread is getting off-topic. Try to keep the subject on people who have been banned, not on TL moderation in general. | ||

edit: Clarity_nl was just temp banned for 2 days by motbob. That account was created on 2011-11-08 06:05:36 and had 108 posts. Reason: Shouldn't have derailed the thread. A bit of advice: don't troll SkyR in Tech Support. Like 90% of those "8k posts" are him using his free time to help people with their PC issues. He's also pretty smart. | ||

I just saw a user get banned for this post, and it raises a question that I've been wondering for quite a while. Why is it OK to gender discriminate positively, but to question that ban-worthy? I, personally, think some of the female discrimination in SC2 is fairly silly. For example, at MLG Providence; x6.Ailuj got a main-stage featured match against LosirA because: She was the most attractive female competing If I've overstepped any boundaries with this post, please let me know, but I feel it's a legitimate thing to question. | ||

I heartily dislike this "discrimination" that grants women these different tournaments for cash prizes and also gives them more attention, which in turn leads to money. I see nothing wrong with that post, and I would definitely say the same thing if he wasn't already banned for it. It's bannable for the same reason balance whining is bannable; because no one wants to hear you whine. If you really have a problem with it make a thread in website feedback. | ||

Having that opinion is not bannable, but forwarding like that is just being a jerk. | ||

2. women should be encouraged to get into esports and contribute, and one way to do that is to showcase female players at tournaments when possible, even if they are "not good" or something silly like that. 3. a more physically attractive woman will gather more attention from other women as well, not just men. its not a sexual thing (most of the time), its an unconscious admiration thing. the same reason why you see QBs and running backs on commercials 99% of the time instead of offensive linemen. unless it's a chunky soup or hungry man commercial, and even then you're more likely to see tom brady than matt light. 4. did i mention that sex sells? females dont need any help to get additional exposure in video games. i would disagree, in an area where 99.9% (HYPERBOLE!) of the players and the fans are still men, women participating should be encouraged and to some degree showcased. | ||
