Seriously. suggesting that Stephen fry is condoning that kind of attitude? RAAAAWWWWWRRRRGH! Nerd rage! Thanks GM for saving me from posting in response to that. I can't promise it would have been pretty.
You can always respond to me in PM. Besides, I was responding to a particular person who was talking about being offended in general. (Given I actually quoted the wrong post).

Destiny just keeps piling it on. Intrigue's first post in that thread wasn't even that bad.
|
They should unfeature his stream if he's going to show zero respect for the website that helped him get where he is.
|
For all the "doesn't give a fuck" it would appear Destiny gives a pretty big fuck about this situation.
IMO, just perm him already. What a freaking child. How people like that have fans is mind-boggling to me.
|
well TL has already said before that they dont mind policing the internet so im curious what they will do about this ;p
destiny doesnt exactly post enough for a ban to be an effective deterrent but unfeaturing his stream seems like a drastic (and possibly pointless) step. drama time!

What a child. Gets banned and then throws a tantrum on twitter.

Not so much a policing the internet but ts been made pretty clear more than a few times that if you cant be bothered to show a little respect to the moderator staff then you aren't welcome in the community. Should be interesting to see how staff reacts this time.

Well shit...that was not an easy two days to do, but I did for the 1000th page martyrs. Fuck though...it seems that a lot has been going down. I am glad to see the Destiny ban because while I think he has a point about people standing up for what they believe, there are tons of people out there that can do it with class and tact. Destiny is not one of them. I have no issues with the guy personally, not much of a fan though mainly due to the fact that as a young white male it is near impossible to know if racial slurs really mean anything to certain people. While I don't think he is a racist, he is definitely not concerned with others. He seems to think that everyone is dumb that does not agree with his ideals. Just because someone is "honest" does not make that person's idealism correct. It just shows stubbornness. It is not the most intelligent or strongest to survive, but the ones that are most adaptable.

wow. i want to say more, but i just cant get past wow.

It's interesting that he derived "banned for mod disrespect" from that ban reason.
Oh, by the way, I guess this is as good a place as any to say that Destiny's stream won't appear in the sidebar for the duration of the ban.
|
I don't think they'll unfeature him unless they perm him. Most likely the mods will give him some time to cool down, then see where everything stands.
From what i've seen, i think TL staff will do whatever they can not to flamebait. If they act too soon they're just forcing him to flame for the sake of his pride, so i think they'll let this slide for now. He's not idra though, if he disrespects the Mods, I don't think there will be qualms about getting rid of him, and i'm not sure he'll be back if he gets a perm.

A ban is already like an unfeature since you can't set your stream as online on the sidebar if you can't log in. Isn't that what all of the Idra fans were complaining about when he got banned for 90 days?
edit: thanks Jingle for the clarification.

Not just non-featured but not even appearing on the non-featured list?
If that is the case, is that something unprecedented?

You can log in while temped. You just can't post, report, or PM non-staff. Or edit your profile. Not sure about setting stream online, the button is still there, but I didn't test it.
IdrA got 90 days for saying he wouldn't stream for the duration of a shorter ban, and hinting to his fans that they should attack Chill for it.

That's only half the story.
The whole thing started when Idra made a post in the Cruncher fan club calling cruncher some not so nice things. Chill gave Idra a short 2 day ban for being a jerk. Idra then went on twitter and posted the following:
Greg Fields @idrajit
wont be streaming for 2 days as i have been banned from tl for insulting cruncher, everyone pm Chill if this upsets you
Unfortunately, a number of Idra fans took this far to seriously and started PMing Chill with annoying crap. Idra refused to apologize or retract his statement in any way, so Nazgul and the other staff made the decision to ban him for 90 days. This only intensified the crap random people were sending Chill, and resulted in some bizarre and funny bans just past page 700. Highlights include:
Julian Olynick was just banned by Chill.

Interesting.Interested in what the thinking is in this (change of?) policy.
(look at us talking about bans like good little thread dwellers! barely a whisker of off-topicity)

Thank god - i have more of a problem with the army of ignorant morons that latch onto everything that Destiny says and then see it as a way to 'protest' or fight for some 'greater good'
I really respect TL for the action they took, especially with the stance on defeaturing his stream during his ban.
