Emojis are built into TL. They are just called smilies.

i know twitch emotes are strictly off the table so idk if that’s the same sort of frowned upon non-verbal communication or what? with the bbcode smilies i feel like i’m sort of in a gray area here.

Smilies & BBCode are fine because those are TL owned. Emojis are fine as long as they're not obnoxious and in your face. Don't spam them either.

it appears we have a couple of users being educated about the difference between posting in sports threads and the us politics thread.

i'm one of them.

I wonder why exactly do you think South African policy sais anything about the US... Last i checked a minority of blacks didn't opress the Whites/Others.


And what happens in SA atm is a really nice perfect storm born from total incompetence, corruption and "searching someone to blame/old grudges/reverse racism". Its a shame.

Yes, South Africa presents a different case study in that race relations were noticeably worse than in the US, but it presents an interesting situation in which the black oppressed have completely usurped the white oppressors. This change in power dynamics is GH's wet dream. So I want to know what he thinks of what the ANC is doing.


No the current power dynamic in South Africa is not my wet dream for a variety of reasons, just so you know. The ANC has many of it's own problems, many linked to the type of corruption that colonialism maintained as common practice.

Really? You wouldn't like it if someone waved a magic wand and suddenly blacks were control of the US?

User was warned for this post.


Just a warning for this bullshit, you kidding me? I'm not sure how he could have stated it in a more openly racist way.

I guess the mods are good with that here.

User was warned for posting about moderation within the thread.



Believe it or not, this is an improvement. I was actually surprised and presumed that was a actioned for anything but the racial connotations.

I seriously didn't even bother reporting it. The most recent report was actually you for low content post (think that's been the main thing I've reported for a while) because I hate oneliners that aren't funny or pithy.

I always debate between reporting them all or the worst of the bunch, and then end up reporting nothing.

Knowing there's a statistic, with a built in "average", compels me to want to "score" well but occasionally my petty/desire to actually address my longest standing complaint gets the better of me.

When in doubt, just report it. The mods will handle the rest. It's much easier for us to carry out mod actions anyway if there are more reports to look at.

When were you instabanned?


This one:

You have been temp banned for 1 week by Seeker.

Reason: GH, I can't do a temporary thread ban this time around because you were reported for a PM you sent.

The sole contents of the PM would have gotten you only a 2 day temp ban, but then the user provided evidence that shows that you've clearly targeted them before in the past. So when you come back from this 1 week ban, please leave then alone.


But you can start with why in the hell you would tell him to PM me that garbage regardless of your previous actions against me.
