I am sorry, but that is the state of things as I see it. He was not spamming nonsense across TL, it was almost perfectly contained in his (and nina's) blogs and did hurt absolutely noone. The internet is not going to run out of memory if you don't keep valiantly stopping every little bit of word vomit.

I just don't get it, why somebody feels to need to fight stuff just because he doesn't like it. Yes, the mods have all the right to do it on their website, that doesn't mean it isn't completely moronic.

edit: honestly, if you want to ban him, do it for the shit he is giving ninazerg (as she doesn't seem very amused), but not just for "rambling"

For the first time, I agree with opisska completely. if fluffy_pylon is allowed to keep blogging and yokokano isn't, y'all are fucking up.

this is funny because you refer to his blogs as word vomit (impliedly) and say the mods have the right to do it. case closed?

Came here to say something similar.

His blogs are entertaining at the least, stupid as they are. I disagree with the idea of banning yoko for "rambling", as it seems like an excuse to ban him just for disagreeing with him (Even if 99% of people probably do). Why ban someone that makes TL a more entertaining place?

When is something trolling, when is something entertainment?
Can a troll be entertaining? Can an entertainer be a troll?

Is Yokokono's work a piece of art or a piece of trash?
Can anyone on TL reproduce the work of YokoKono?

So many questions!

Tell him to get a tumblr and leave him to get permed. Just because you enjoy his incoherent ramblings doesn't mean he shouldn't be banned for what they are.

opisska, if you look at the chronology of events, Chill gave him a 2-day before he started messing with me on TL. He was clearly pissing Chill off, so just leave me out of it.

Citing rules in response to my posts doesn't make a lot of sense. I acknowledge that by rule no. 1, everyone can be banned for everything and I have no grounds for disputing that. However that doesn't change the fact that banning Yokokano is completely pointless as his posting does not hurt anyone. He does not impede any discussion, does not interfere with the fun of other people, he does not got to other threads and stir shit. So whom does it help to ban him? Whose life it makes better? Saying that it is "an eyesore" is absurd, ignoring blogs from one person is the easiest thing to do, nobody forces you to open his threads and you perfectly know what to expect when you do so.

The idea that a post just "deserves a ban" as some kind of moral imperative is completely ridiculous and anyone who thinks that probably spends too much time in the bubble of TL and loses touch with reality. TL is (hopefully) not supposed to be a contest in staying unbanned, but a place for discussion. If something does not hurt the discussion (and TL in general, as would for example a blog advertising illegal activities etc..), what is the point in banning it? Banning people just because "they deserve it" is childish and laughable.

Again, I am not disputing that Chill can ban Yokokano. However I am arguing that he shoudln't. I don't feel inferior as a human being to him because he is a mod on an internet forum and I am not, thus I don't see a problem in telling him publicly my opinion. He (or other people in charge of that decision) can do whatever they wish with my opinion.

opisska, it seems like your main issue is that Yokokano shouldn't be banned for content posted purely in blogs. What you are essentially advocating for is a change in policy about what is permissible in blogs... it seems you think pretty much anything that isn't a direct violation (e.g., NSFW) should be permitted so long as it is contained within a user's blog.

That is not, and has not been TL's policy regarding blogs. Blogs are moderated less strictly than other forum sections (at least, on the part of the OP), but basic standards for thread creation are still in effect. If someone is frequently posting gibberish blogs, they will be asked to stop. If they keep doing it, they will be moderated. If they want to blog about gibberish they should do it on another site.

I think his blogs are kind of cool, was sorry to see him banned. I remember I saw his posts in the letting off steam thread and I commented that he should try writing fiction or something like that.

Like if yokokano wrote a novel I'd buy it and put it on my coffee table... I think he's the only TL blogger I can say that about.

batsnacks, I'm afraid that says more about you than this forum's posting guidelines.

For YK's sake, he should be banned.

Yeah I like it weird.

But yokokano's book would go nicely with some of my other coffee table books: Foucault's Pendulum, The Exegesis of Philip K Dick and Finnegan's Wake.

I want to state for the record that if it were up to me, I would not want to see Yokokano permabanned. He's not exactly my favorite person (to say the least) but I dunno, maybe I'm just getting too nice ㅠuㅠ...

His blogs are really weird but the comparison i keep thinking of is his blogs compared to zammels kiett blog, both intentionally crazy/trolly but one actually has some kind of "structure?" and the other is just basically what you said wordvomit
personally for me i dont find him funny at all, if he was a rambling friend instead of like a laughable slap on the back you give a friend and say "oh you're so silly hahah" its more of a "did he put the weed up his butt what the hell is wrong with him" kind of response when you read the blogs
dAPhREAk gives Shock a * | [23:55] <Shock710> that was out of context -_- [16:26] <@motbob> Good question, Shock!

Ugh. Why exactly was fluffy_pylon banned too? I liked his blogs a lot more than YokoKano's blogs dammit.

Are we just not allowing anything funny and/or weird on blogs anymore?

If I'm not mistaken, he's NeuroticPsychosis, so a PBU? + his blogs were pretty horrible before too.

^ Thank you for that.

Banning someone is setting said banned individual unto some other unsuspecting people, it solves nothing.
By the way, I dislike neuro nationalism, but bad seed need hugs too.
