rebirthoflegend is a PBU that doesn't like me personally. The argument about "free advertising on TL" is at this point completely circular. It has already been answered that that is non-unique to other contributors on this site and something that was allowed to me before I became a banling due to my community status.

I want to echo that as with anything, if for some reason I turn out to be a giant scam artist or some community abuser that literally starts forcing people to pay me I would EXPECT this community to out me just as fast as it did other people of similar regard.

bloodycobbler has been extremely civil albeit a bit zealous. I don't know what it is but something within the SC/SC2 world makes some people extremely uncomfortable when someone makes money from a service that isn't winning a tourney.

If anything, this venture is on Inc's abnormally broad shoulders.... I mean if something happens and he screws up like what happened with the Louder situation, then it's his reputation around the TL community that will suffer. I really don't think he's using his banling powers in order to increase business, but rather using his reputation in SC scene. If TL is his medium for doing so I can't see anything wrong with that, banling or not. The way BC has attacked this makes me think there's something behind the scenes here...

Yeah I've seen/felt this too...

While I think iNcontroL could have written something like "This is my/our venture and has nothing to do with TL" or something to that effect, I certainly didn't think not spelling it out had any negative implications, and I didn't even think about it until this thread. It was obvious to me that Gosucoaching is iNc's venture and that he's operating it independently.

I would be more inclined to trust iNc as he's a staff member on one of the most respected gaming sites on the internet, knowing that you have to be well-known and respected before you're even offered such a position. However, I wouldn't hold TL accountable for his failures. I mean yes, if he scammed me, or if his business collapsed and he refused to return the money and showed no remorse about me being shafted, I'd want TL to remove him as mod and/or ban him on general principles. But I wouldn't hold TL accountable.

So yeah, I don't see why iNc shouldn't be allowed to offer a StarCraft related service on a StarCraft forum, and I don't think you have to worry about it reflecting poorly on TL.
