I'm writing this post because my PM privileges have been permanently disabled as far as I can see. So if I am disabled to handle this ban privately I will publicly.
First things first, I have to say that I have never insulted any player of this community or I have been flaming them and all that goes with it. I just want people to cope with that before they do the same. I have, however, been flamed on my last blog post, I have been told "you suck" without any further argument (which should be counted as shitposting, not flaming) since this is a FORUM to discuss opinions. Nobody has been banned.
The Ban
REASON BY: EvilTeletubby:
"Take a break from Dota and from posting. You clearly have issues self-analyzing and recognizing your own (numerous) shortcomings, and it's manifesting itself as petty and vicious lashes at those who are genuinely trying to help you.
The day you realize you suck, is the day you start to improve.
Do not attempt to circumvent this ban by making a new account, or your ban duration will be increased."
First of all, I did not flame or shitpost, I simply disagreed with what you told me because you had no follow up to your statement (if you did, it would be called an argument) and therefore I have no idea how is it humanly possible that you got the idea that I'm "lashing out" - 2 days after I stopped posting because of something that I'll discuss in my next paragraph. Your "lashing out" reason was so subjective that it can be counted as an opinion, which you banned me for. There were more mods reading (or glancing) at that blog post and it only takes one overly defensive and insecure asshole to ban me with NO rights to appeal.
As for the ". You clearly have issues self-analyzing and recognizing your own (numerous) shortcomings". I don't know should I cry or laugh. You act like my personal psychiatrist or something? You're just an overly offended American as far as I can analyze you. And I'll get banned for this post, but you can say whatever the fuck you want, because moderator, it's not WHAT you post, it's WHO posts what.
I'd also like to take a look at this quote; "genuinely trying to help you". People are not "genuinely trying to help me", they are just repeating one thing over and over again because they have a feeling that they're right. That is definitely NOT helping. Helping would be telling me how to have fun while getting fucked in the asshole and having a 70%+ winrate with these people who don't know how the game works. People say the stupidest shit ever "just improve". Look asshole, you don't know my situation, you don't know how much time I have or don't have to play the game, I want to improve by playing against better players and I don't want to spam 1000 games in a week just to get 500 rating up.
This is how it went down, I expressed some of my SUBJECTIVE feelings and opinions and based on that I got banned. Just because - you didn't like it.
However, Firebolt145 warned me on one of my posts where I used the derogatory word for a homosexual person in reference to Skywrath mage. I totally understand that, it was in the spark of the moment and I had it coming, it was my bad choice of words. And I do apologize to people who might have been offended for it because it had no literal connotation or it was meant to discriminate anyone who is homosexual. I deserved the warning.
Hivemind / Circlejerk
This paragraph is about the behavior that I find only on this forum. TL.net included. If anyone noticed, the first page of my previous post was very decent and even a user gave his opinion on my replay he skimmed. Soon after the first page was full, there were a lot of 1 sentence posts such as; "you suck" / "your rating is where you belong". After that, there was a phase of people quoting and replying "this". There was also a lot of flame, but before that flame directed to me, there was a personal opinion (not a fact) and a general consensus that I suck. If it was a fact, you could prove it. I can provide a lot of replays (now, that's 95% of the games, I dominate my lane, if it's solo mid, offlane or premade safelane) and still end up with a winrate of below 50%.
I have a strong feeling this community lacks the knowledge to differentiate between "fact" and "opinion" and often times if they don't agree an opinion they have to hate it by default. Take in consideration the hivemind and the circlejerking; a moderator says something: and everyone reinforce his opinion based on who he is, not on what he said. These forum users are less qualified to post here than a primary school debate team, because the debate team actually has an argument on the topic. People constantly take shit I said out of context. I don't want to disagree with you people, but you give me no choice, however I have a strong feeling that you find every reason to disagree with me, no matter how insignificant it is. You are just waiting to quote out of context instead of asking yourself "is this what he's saying possible, could it be true" - and then fucking test it.
Circlejerk - One mod or influential poster posts something and then goes a tidal wave of reinforcing posts. It's like you're sitting in a circle around a bonfire and hold each others cocks with your left and right hand. Then everyone starts stroking. To you, I'm a fucking heretic, because I don't believe the shit you believe. And because my beliefs are "wrong" you are ready to nail me to a cross with all the tools you have; flaming, shitposting and ultimately banning for a reason so subjective and trivial that it's actually funny that there are so much people involved in a forum who has members and mods who reinforce the "popular belief", acting like some sort of college-knowitall-hippies and everyone who disagrees is a fucking stupid cunt who deserves the community hate and ban.
I wouldn't mind the ban if other people who flamed me got banned or at least warned, but since they were flaming + reinforcing your opinion, that makes it perfectly fine.
Outroduction
Now that I've stated my case and made my points, you can neglect them, act like I was rude because it makes no difference, because last time I was perfectly polite and still didn't make a shit of a difference. Shitpost away, hope that I will be lurking on this post. Tell me how wrong I am without any argument and get your post count up that you find so important and reinforce mods comments, but wait for them to post first so you can quote them and gain extra imaginary ego points instead of using your fucking head and have an opinion of your own, which is a hard thing to do nowadays I guess.
k tnx bye
