I got own for 2 weeks by kennigiti for being a smart ass in this thread

I always thought it is alright at TL to trash caught hackers,(example:this ) I need some input form some admins in where I should draw the line and stop in the future. I was really only trying to point out to the new users in TL that TT1 was a caught hacker all because they are making the fallacy of argument from authority in their debate with each other.

The sad part about this is that TT1 is currently in the Top 16 of the TSL ladder, hosted on ICCup which we have not yet found a replay where he is “dirty.” He has made statements to Manifesto and Hot_Bid that promise that he does not hack anymore and that his TSL games are clean, which we believe. He also promises to make FPVODs of all matches in an effort to clean his reputation.

While we appreciate the sentiment and meaning behind his words, it is quite clear that he has hacked within the past year, as recently as February 2008. This violates the policy of the TSL of hacking within the past year so TT1 will be disqualified and removed from the TSL. To some of you this punishment may seem harsh given the number of clean games he’s played, and to some of you this punishment may not seem harsh enough. TT1 has made several false statements, and it is our decision in this case to stick with our rule.

To clear his name how? If he is good at SC:BW, then the tarnish on his reputation for being a cheater is cleared? The two things have nothing to do with each other. It's a sad thing that he's even eligible to compete in WCG.

The condemnation from incontrol and nony ( here ) Clearly stated that the community does not welcome a hacker back from any kind of competitive events.

and also the argument about getting good at the game and doing good at events will clear a hacker's name is a fallacy, because doing good at events and hacking is 2 completely different things.

TT1 didn't just hack, he lied about hacking, he betray his friend who he shared an account with and point the finger to that friend of his and said it was his friend who were hacking.

I'm not sure whom you meant by a well-respected hacker, do you mean testie? I respects his skill in sc1, but i don't respect him as a person who cheated repeatedly and got caught over and over.

Alot of posters get banned for bad posting and one-liners, including me once (I've tried my best to get better in the past couple weeks); but why do some posters seem to be immune to these bans? All posters with over 10k+ posts have a vast majority of one-liners. While many of these posters more than make up for quite a bit of crappy posting by their contributions to the community (Konadora, Incontrol, etc.), I don't understand why guys like Frits can post nothing but crappy one-liners and be fine (don't mean to call you out, just using you as an example).

From what I've seen (this is just my experience as a site veteran), you can have the most vapid posting in the universe and get away with it if you just stay positive. Example: GoSu / Mojawi)SoJu / whatever his name is now.

However, it is very difficult to keep up a sunny disposition on the internet, and crappy one-line posters generally slip up after a while.

another example of some bannable one liner:

"cool story bro"

it adds nothing, no meaning of anything that is of importance at all, so they are wasting internet space.

bad example imo, "cool story bro" isn't bannable because it's a one-liner, it's more because it's a meme post, which tl.net generally frowns upon. It's an especially bad meme post because it's a "4-chan meme" which tl.net hates even more than other memes (read through the automated ban list and look at how many ban reasons are "This is not 4chan").

saying "cool story bro" isn't simply an empty line, it obviously has meaning (otherwise it wouldn't be a meme). In this particular case, "cool story bro" generally means "your story/post is bad because it is generally meaningless and/or doesn't have a real point, and therefore doesn't interest me (or the typical reader)"

A better example of a ban resulting from a terrible one-liner: here

moral of the story: don't post one-liners AND don't post memes, especially ones that come from 4chan

The issue with one-liners isn't the length of the post, it's the thought going into the post history.

Do you really want to be in a community that has rules like:
If ( ) then ban
?

Of course not. When someone says "stop posting one-liners" they are really saying "Improve your post quality".

I thought this was inherently obvious.
