seems to me he just got really fed up over a couple of things:
1. state of balance in a video game
2. people holding fundamentally offensive views to his morality
3. how people get away with posting morally offensive garbage as long as they are civil

I think to him and alot of people, it's actually much more painful to see a civil or well argued morally offensive post than a morally correct but ill constructed or profane post. TL sanctions the former and not the latter in alot of cases. As long as you don't string together swear words or attack another poster and specify the scope of an argument you can pretty much post prejudice you want on TL.

I think profanity and excessive language does have a place in expressing the intensity of an opinion, especially an opinion that a person feels strongly inclined to express or defend, or an opinion that is qualified to have the degree of impact that excessive language carries. But unfortunately as with presenting any opinion in a public medium, the verbal content carries very little weight and the presentation is what people ultimately remember.

Fenrax ban reduced.

It's funny, I think that Liquibet sign makes people subconsciously respect him more even though it's not actually an indication of good posting or anything. At least it's like that for me anyway. Weird.

Heh yeah I saw that, but I mean more in general. Maybe its just me but I tend to think higher of Fenrax just because of his pretty little icon.

i think shady sands requested time off so he can take over the world. =)


as it should be. people should be able to express their opinions (repugnant or not) in a civil manner so that other people can tell them how wrong they are. if you want to change someone's "wrong" opinion then do so through discourse, not through bans. if you just want a circle jerk of the majority opinion, go ahead and ban them though, but dont forget to cue the theme song to 1984.

If Fenrax has the "Quality Poster" star, how come he's got so many moderations? Or rather, if he has so much mod action hanging over him, why is he still considered such a "Quality Poster?" I ask out of ignorance and not accusation.

Nah, that star is a reward for posters who tirelessly work to help the community in some way, not just quality posts. For example, juicyjames, the most recent recipient of the star, did the research for and posted his "This Week in Starcraft 2" article every week for more than a year. yakii, the only recipient of two stars, updated the small vod thread for many years by posting links to every pro Starcraft game that was played in an organised place.

There's no official award for posters who just consistently make quality posts. Perhaps you can just send them an IM thanking them for being a good poster? I'm sure they'd appreciate it if someone notices the effort they put into their posts.

I have the same thing. Maybe it was because I didnt actually know what it meant, but that sign always made me think of Fenrax as a higher quality poster.
