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/ |
For those that came in late (uh, like me):
-A Brief History of Combat-EX-
Guy cheats and acts like an ass, gets caught, gets pwned by Chill, gets banned on TL, lives in the dark corners of the Starcraft community, continues his BM and bullshit in SC2, pretends to feel remorse, quits, comes back after two weeks, well, that part hasn't happened yet.
-The End-
It's easy for people who aren't aware of his history to be convinced by his recent "regret" nonsense. But, spoiler, he's a galloping dickhead.
He's another one of those people who's received a permanent, well-deserved ban from the community.
I missed the most recent thief-of-headphones drama, though, a quick update on it, anyone?

Yeah, probably. If he was telling the truth about making 50-60k a year off his videos, he's absolutly insane to quit.

Threads gone now, I don't remember exactly what it was about; basically though some guy is alleging that some female SC2 player had other people playing on her account and that's why she was ranked so high on the ladder. Then it also got into this whole weird stalker thing, about following her twitter and facebook and the OP posted some midly inappropriate pictures of her.
Also ETT is apparently her baby's daddy.

Adding onto this -
I don't believe for a second he's making 50-60k off youtube videos or whatever. I'm pretty sure you have to have 25k or 50k subscribers before Youtube even offers you a sponsorship. Don't know the exact number, but obviously he's just exaggerating tenfold.
Most recent drama...... I don't think there was any "thiefing" involved, just a female SC2 player known as Beauty has a High Masters account and is trying to get into the competitive scene, the whole post entailed how she is a fraud and fingered out a few people guilty of powerleveling her account with many screenshots and testimonies. Unfortunately there wasn't any "Hard" Replay proof, so Nazgul shut the thread down. Generally you want hard evidence before you go around accusing people of crimes.

Yeah, I wouldn't trust anything that kid says. I think he said the 50-60k was from "various" sources of income, whatever that means. Maybe he's smuggling gold from South America, who knows.
What's weired with that beauty thread is alsmost identical acusations were made against Kalu a while ago. Is that like the new trend, accuse female players of using smurfs to ladder? Who cares about ladder rank anyway, as long as they aren't cheating in tournaments what difference does it really make?

It makes a huge difference if you're a female SC2 gamer (not trying to be sexist). There are far and away minimal top-caliber female SC2 players, for one to get high masters or GM is almost near instant recognition, and could possibly get you a signing onto a professional team in my belief.
I'm not too into the drama scene, so I don't go out of my way to e-stalk female gamers, but the only one that caught my eye for being exceptionally skilled is Flo.

That's true, just be default there's going to be a lot more attention and scrutiny on you if you're a female pro-gamer. (also spelling fail, wow)
Btw, Grobyc I think TheRNG could be a possible nominee for Season 1 of the ban awards. Certainly was both extremely bizzaire and funny.

Beauty has posted her personal information (including her Facebook) all over TL. I am pretty sure she is using SC2 to try and attract attention (pretty typical self-esteem issues for a girl that age).
Kalu flipped out and has been banned for 90 days. Her GM account has now dropped to Gold for whatever that's worth:

This is what a "Stanford" education buys you apparently lol.

On that note, twizzlers and fig newtons are fucking delicious, and I'm buying some on the way home today. Thanks Kalu :D

Yeah, we knew about her ban we were disscussing that quite a bit a few pages ago. (and I wrote a better rap) Interesting about her ladder account though. Course she could just be using a smurf account now to avoid harassment or whatever. I'm sure she regularly got quite a few very cringe worthy posts. Or all the crazy allegations could be true. Not sure that it really matters :/

I can't recall a single instance of child porn being galleried. For the most part Gallery is full of threads with personal information that shouldn't be visible in Closed.
i always thought the point of making the closed threads list visible was so it acted as a warning of whats not acceptable. if youre gonna close the thread then hide it, why not just outright delete it?

Only 1 ban and 4 Combat Ex threads in Closed? I would have thought for sure we would be at like 7-8 threads and at least 4 banned people by now. Well maybe I've been living under a rock, but I don't even know why there would be combat-ex threads. Check the closed threads section. It's actually kind of funny.
there's nothing in there from this year, I tried searching 'combat' and 'combat ex'
is the 'big news' that our raging friend has quit sc2? how very exciting.

For the sake of moderation, they can go back through post history that way.

Let's see, what are we at now 7 or 8 Combat Ex threads, and still only one ban? How dissapointing :/

Zorkmid was just temp banned for 2 days by mensrea.
That account was created on 2008-11-24 08:36:40 and had 2319 posts.
Reason: Zorkmid, please spare me your sanctimonious indignation. Your barely veiled threat to "report" me is utter nonsense. I was going to let it slide, but I had a look at your history and saw your rap sheet - a seemingly endless litany of bans and warnings. I cannot fathom the reasons for your persistent tempting of fate, but I would suggest you take a break and reflect on your character flaws for a few
days.
That must be the most eloquent ban explanation ever. Prove me wrong guys.

Is there a particular post for that ban? Or did he threaten to report a mod over PM?

Probably the latter. I remember him PMing me about something I wrote in the thread about Destiny getting the boot from coL, calling me an idiot, I guess he thought I managed to misinterpret my own opinion.

TheWarbler was just temp banned for 1 week by vGl-CoW.
That account was created on 2010-04-16 08:58:23 and had 1037 posts.
Reason: at least the guy with 25 posts doesn't have a mod history as terrible as yours. clean up your posting
Post in question: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=301858¤tpage=17#324
I'm really happy about this one. I don't know his whole post history but I play Dota 2 and so I'm browsing the Dota 2 forums a lot. This isn't the first post that has come off as abrasive and arrogant. Glad someone gave him a time out.

It was most likely galleried. The Gallery is where the mods send threads that are too sensitive for the closed forum. In-depth personal attacks that reveal information about somebody, like the thread you mention, get galleried. So does stuff like child porn, virus attacks, etc.
Anything that can still send its malevolent message in the closed forum is galleried. Are your sources credible? I don't know how I feel about being on a forum where the mods have a secret child porn gallery.
It was just an example of a potential candidate for the Gallery, not something that's really happened. I imagine if some lunatic posted that crap on TL, the thread would be galleried. That's all I meant. :/
