I told you what ways "fuck you" would get banned and which way it doesn't. It's all about the context, anyways I don't want to talk about it anymore as it's offtopic and we were told not to. | ||

I just read the last couple of pages and some of the news reports from respectable media outlets. Oh man I fear for the future of the USA.

There is some A-grade trolling happening but it is pretty border line and both of them have been really patient. I daer anyone to read this guy's posts and not want to punch your screen. I think you're wrong. I read through that guy's posts and I didn't see what you were talking about at all. He is making logical arguments in favor of his opinion/belief. Which post(s) are you talking about specifically? Maybe I missed it. He's certainly putting in more effort than the people posting 1 liners like "lol religion is myth" and is being no where near as brainless and offensive as some. That whole thread looks like it needs some serious moderation though. It looks like a huge part of it is devolving into another religion vs atheist debate. I understand its difficult to talk about American politics without religion being brought up, but I can't see that discussion getting any better. Edit: @Mobius1 ... really? Sarah Palin's smurf? Why in the world would you say that? Because he has an opinion that is in conflict with yours and similar to someone else's? I get so sick and tired of people who blatantly disrespect someone with different beliefs. Just because you are doing it "nicely" and not outright saying "what a fucking retard" the message and intent behind the words is perfectly clear. People can have different and unpopular beliefs, and just because they do doesn't mean they deserve to be stereotyped in such a way as you did. | ||

I had to stop myself from responding multiple times as my blood pressure rose higher and higher. I don't think I'm cut from the same cloth mods are. Edit: Nope peace I'm leaving the ABL thread now too. | ||

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. This isn't the place to discuss that sort of thing, but have you considered that maybe he wasn't banned for the reason you think he was? Even if you agree with his position, you have to admit that the post was: 1: Shit. Shit grammar. No capitalization, no familiarity with ending punctuation save for the "?". It shows absolutely minimal effort. 2: Trolling. It's in a "Questions for ST_Aphrodite" thread, not a "Should women have SC2 tournaments" thread. The post exists because the poster is butthurt and lashing out at whomever and whatever happens to be even peripherially related to his butthurt. The only reason to post that question in that thread is to attempt to derail the thread into talking about that person's pet issue: women getting their own tournaments. Or to piss people off, which also derails the thread. The absolute most you could say about his post was that it was a borderline case. How you express your opinion is at least as important as the opinion itself. Besides, it's only a 2-day ban. He did something wrong and was punished. No need for nefarious political intent. | ||

All I see is an opinion poll without the poll for people to list various all in builds but without any context. Best all in under what circumstances? No gas fe? 1-1-1? marauder expand? Nothing very strategic about this strategy thread, imo. | ||

Another example of "oh what a bad thread" comments hurting the poster way more than they help the thread/OP. | ||

Yeah i was surprised that a mod looked at that thread and decided to warn so many people but not close it, it was obviously a pretty poor thread at best. | ||

Hit page 1k on October 29th to 1.15k on February 24th, that's 119 days. At this rate, we should hit page 2000 in just about 674 days, or around November 28th, 2013. I should point out that it took 6 years for the first 1k. So for the past four months we've been moving at a rate of about 1.2 pages per day. Interestingly, this is actually a slow down from the recent trend, if you look at the period between 2-24-11 and 2-24-12 the average is about 1.6 pages per day. Assuming that rate, we should hit page 2k in about 531 days or just around July 8th, 2013. That is a huge increase from the same period a year prior though; 2-24-10 to 2-24-11 was at an average rate of .9 pages per day. So within one year the ban rate increased by 75%. I decided to explore this increase in the rate of bans a bit more: Here's a graph of how many pages of bans existed at the given date: You can clearly see there appears to be a nice exponential growth here, though it does appear that following March 2011, the growth in bans seems to be more constant. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/fxlyT.jpg) Here is a graph of the number of pages of the ABL that were generated in the three months prior to the shown date: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/rd71N.jpg) This one is more interesting, this is essentially showing us the rate of bans over time. Clearly we can see that we are in a period of decreasing ban rate, with the rate topping out around July 1st 2011 at about 170 pages per three months, or about 56 pages per month. While we see something similar in 2010, we haven't yet seen the same upturn that we did in 4Q of 2010, possibly indicating a wider decrease in the rate of bans overall. Based on that, I think 1.2 pages per day is the more accurate representation of bans going forward and therefore the estimate of November 28th, 2013 to hit page 2k is probably pretty good right now. | ||

Perhaps ETT has a hatred to all those toasted now and will toast all accounts accordingly. Also, with MLG and ASUS together mods are going to be working overtime. I predict.... 83 bans in total by the end of the tournament from LR threads. | ||
