So this happened and I want some answers.

Unnecessarily Rude
  • There's apperantly no complaint section, so I'm assuming it goes here.

    A couple of days ago, some stuff went down in the 70-79 section, more specifically, the (now deleted) old Ante Amanthe recruitment thread. The stuff that came along with it is what this post is about.

    Let's put it into perspective by making it a simple multiple-choice question. Sounds good, no? Here's the question:

    Of the following posts, which would you rather ban?

    A) "Go fucking die."
    B) [post with nothing but inflammatory and offensive text]
    C) [funny video to lighten the mood]

    Well, it seems like a clear cut case, doesn't it? I'll give you a moment to decide, there's no time pressure here.

    Alright, you've decided? Great! Let's hear it.

    Oh, you choose answer A) "Go fucking die."? I'm sorry. That's the wrong answer.

    Alright, alright, maybe you chose B) [post with nothing but inflammatory and offensive text], well, you'd be wrong. Again.

    Clearly the right course of action here is to ban poster C) [funny video to lighten the mood]. It is obvious that this post in specific deserves to be banned. Not just any ban, by the way. A permaban.

    That's right. Posting a video is apperantly seen as far, far worse than posting what comes as close to a death threat as possible without actually making a death threat, and certainly worse than being an absolute cunt towards a player in a large amount of your posts.

    Don't give me the ''well you should've reported the post then!", because that's exactly what I did.

    I'd love for you to explain this to me. I'd love to see you defend this course of action and tell me with a straight face that death threats aren't as serious as posting a video.

    Go ahead, I'm waiting.
     
    welcome to TI, where a few mods abuse their "power" :) the only way to prevent random bans is to bootlick.. sounds like an awesome forum right?
     
    Obviously it was likely off topic and so is against the rules, but I find it unlikely that a perma ban would be given for that alone.

    I never said anything about it not being off topic or anything though. You're assuming that I want this person unbanned, I guess? You're assuming wrongly.
     
    You're new right?

    I once got a three day ban for reporting a banned users alt account... our site Neo-Nazi got a 24h ban for posting content that is actually illegal in a lot of European countries.

    The CoD says you can be banned for posting prohibited content, with no actual explanation of what's prohibited. Basically if a mod has a cat phobia, Garfield could get you banned :p
     
    If you have complaints, private message a moderator or admin. Most of the time, people have no idea what's going on behind the scenes and people like to exaggerate about why they got banned.
