I'm not a religious guy myself, but I think it is best if we don't go into religion bashing. Religion has caused a lot of problems, but it has also done a lot of good throughout history, such as giving billions of people a moral guide, creating community ties around religious institutions, and encouraging literacy so more people can read the Bible, Koran, etc. I think it would have been best if that guy had just been banned and it be over with it, rather than the mod stoop down and sling insults back.
In the end, the guy's posts were pretty infuriating, and I can see the mod notes were just out of frustration. Nothing too serious, but I think mods should just ban and be done with it rather than respond to the trolls and flamers.

i dont know how to respond to this religion debate without dragging this thread more off topic, suffice to say i think pholons ban and his justification were more than justified. No one's arguing that the ban was unjustified. The fact that not one but two moderators believe it is acceptable to refer to religious beliefs as "fairy tales", however, is very concerning. They are entitled to believe that personally, and say so in the forums if they so desire. But in their official capacity, they have to be respectful and impartial, and calling religion "fairy tales" gives the appearance that neither of those is the case. To be clear, I'm not implying a lack of impartiality. This ban was deserved, regardless of the views being pushed in the post or the ban. But surely we can agree that calling my, or anyone else's religious beliefs "fairy tales" is disrespectful at best, and damages what the moderation staff stands for, and almost always upholds.
+ Show Spoiler +and why exactly do they have to be respectful? religion by definition is something you believe, for no logical reason aka faith. people dont expect respect for other bigoted views, which also make 0 sense, and yet theres this idea that people have that you title your unfounded views as a religion you somehow deserve respect for it.
if you have religious views you should keep them to yourself, same advice the mods give to people who just cant seem to stop being sexist or racist. if you are in a public forum, if you cannot back up what you say with logical reasoning or facts then dont say it.
i know im derailing the thread more by even replying but i cant help it -_- im just not strong enough to resist the bait

Was just a copy and paste, you guys shouldn't read too much into it. Wasn't one of the default ban reasons but it was the same user so it appears on his moderation history page where I assume Pholon saw it. The fairy tales bit was originally written by me and is not one of the scripted tl bans, if anyone strongly objects to it then they can feel free to PM me about it and we can discuss it.

what the fuck? a mod not on the ABL thread.
this thread used to be so much cooler 300 pages ago.
Hypemeup was just temp banned for 2 days by Pholon.
That account was created on 2011-02-20 10:32:18 and had 976 posts.
Reason: You just called one third of TL's populous retarded? -_-
lol, it would be really funny if TL really did have equal population representing the 3 races.

LRM)Semih was just banned by Chill. That account was created on 2011-10-07 06:13:11 and had 9 posts. Reason: How did you go so long without being banned? For clarity, you are never able to come back to TL. I will actively pursue organizations allowing you to play in their Brood War events and relentlessly block your opportunities. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=137355
Is this person one of the people in the thread chill posted? So sad. At least he only got 9 posts in.

This is clarification for my ban. I stole the banreason from Kwark who banned him earlier with that for the same offence. I thought a copy/paste would drive the point home. if you'd like to discuss whether the lack of personal beliefs can play a role in moderating feel free to open a thread in forum feedback pm Kwark.

hehe. Kwark meet bus. Bus meet Kwark.

What happened to this thread? 
Maybe it's because every two weeks there seems to be someone who's had their feelings hurt (keep in mind i'm not alluding to anyone in particular here) by a warning or something, and has to threaten to sue the entirety of TL.
DJWilma was just temp banned for 90 days by GMarshal.
That account was created on 2011-04-13 17:06:02 and had 388 posts.
Reason: R1CH banned you for two weeks for self promotion, you came back, and decided the best thing to do was make a really bad thread that just *happened* to include a blatant self advertisement?
I don't think you are getting the message. Do NOT use TL to advertise yourself, even tangentially, because I'll be waiting, and I'll find out.
I was greatly interested by this ban, as I've been silently lurking with a devilish smile on my face whenever this guy made a blog.
He seems like the typical blog-newbie kind of guy, replying to every post in his blogs, sometimes bumping his own blogs (not realizing that there's little interest for them). I don't know why, but I find those kinds of bloggers interesting.

You're right, we should never discuss anything seriously ever. thatonepicnyovnemadeofbigbrothertl.jpg
All posts in this thread need now be in joke form.
Also, here's a post from exactly 300 pages ago:

I think unichan's ban was a bit of a misunderstanding though. By ladder, she's referring to the LoL rankings, and by "african american man" she was referring to sort of an inside LoL joke because apparently a lot of people thought DSC was black, (and is very high on the ladder)? I doubt she was making a lynching joke.
So, disproved. :/

Grats on 2k Toast!
A toast... for Toast! 
... and I'll now delve into the depths to read about that LRM)Semih guy, seems like Chill nailed him down for something serious.

That was quite possibly one of the best threads and ban "situations" I've had the pleasure of reading. I feel sorry for Dejavu for being screwed over, and Storrzerg and his family are amazing to help Dejavu out. I'm happy Chill laid down the definitive hammer on these assholes,(Semih, Tad,Lou, Bukkit, although Lou seems like the lesser of the evils) from the Summary they were scamming TL Members left and right throughout the weekend or just generally abusing the "TL Member Trust".
@Gmarshal Ban - First thing that came to my mind is, moderators have a way to "Subscribe to a Users posts" similar to how we subscribe to a thread and get updated. We're all puppets!
@TheRhox and BlubbDavid - Whoa, we got ourselves ABL Elitest badasses over here. -.-

Chill makes me proud to be a member of this community but especially with this ban. Be relentless Chill!

I feel myself more and more alienated by this thread lately.

I feel like this ban reason should have been "why not?" for nostalgic reasons. 
WhyDoYouBanMe was just banned by zatic.
That account was created on 2012-03-02 16:09:07 and had 0 posts.
Reason: Previously banned user.

so rather than post the kind of content you would rather see in this thread, you just bitch about it.
things will surely change.
