Reddit. Then Facebook. TLS is dead because some bozo took a perfectly healthy community and ran it aground for nothing.Crazystallion wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 8:18 pmAnyone know answer, TLS, Facebook, Reddit, which has most traffic for law student or pre law issues?
If only Ken never sold... I'm going to be a 1L this Fall and the old threads/posts here are way, way better than any info I've found on Reddit. But it's left me wondering how applicable they are today... (especially the legendary 'How to Do Well' guides from Xeoh/Arrow/Scribe back in 09/10)johndooley wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 8:46 pmReddit.

You had a lot of accomplished people back then who gave great advice and weren’t arrogant unless it was to be funny. Now you have first year associates acting like they’ve made a fortune at the end of a successful career. Plus the half dozen mods who shrilly warn and ban this forum dry.victoremsemper wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 9:01 pmIf only Ken never sold...

Absolutely. Some heavy posters here created their own site to try to recreate TLs but it never took off. Reddit is the best bet. Some joker necro’d ole miss v Memphis law and I made a short “SEC girls must’ve been” post and got my second warning. Reddit now provides better info overall and is more entertaining. TLS regulars have the personalities of rodents.Crazystallion wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 9:05 pmI have been going onto TLS for years, on and off, started when my roommate had account. It just seems like there are a lot of bannings for frivolous reasons, then the banned person goes on Reddit and has massive freedom to post. And sounds off. It's a shame. I've seen it over and over.
Don’t post off topic, mods may ban you without warning.Crazystallion wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 9:14 pmI have a podcast on now that I'm really liking. Mark Levin, Stitcher, May 4, 2022. Scroll ahead to minute 3, he gives a great historical summary of the so called right to privacy, penumbras and emanations, that laid the foundation for Roe. This has nothing to do with this forum but it's so good I had to mention it.
You have received two separate warnings. Based on these posts, I've given you a 3 day ban. Next one will be permanent.johndooley wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 9:19 pmDon’t post off topic, mods may ban you without warning.Crazystallion wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 9:14 pmI have a podcast on now that I'm really liking.

Hey nealric, you seem like a fair guy usually so would you mind explaining why this poster deserves a suspension for this? Seems like innocuous whinging. Is it official policy here that one cannot complain and moderation? Or was there some other violation that I missed?nealric wrote: ↑Mon Jul 25, 2022 11:12 amYou have received two separate warnings.

You obviously missed Orlando medmal week.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 12:26 amYes he does own it. It’s really hard to believe what this site has become after several years away from it (last had an account in 2016). Without JDUnderground, Nando’s website, I guess they all have gone to Reddit. Everyone here gets warnings and banned and there’s little materials that is either useful or entertaining.
The poster in question started multiple flame wars, then sent me numerous PMs complaining and trashing the forum when I told him to tone it down. After that back and forth (which happed after two warnings to keep things civil and respectful), he then took to this forum to complain again about the moderation. Let's just say that attacking the moderator is a great way to get banned on any forum.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Mon Jul 25, 2022 11:20 amHey nealric, you seem like a fair guy usually so would you mind explaining why this poster deserves a suspension for this?

When was this? I feel like there's some context missing here.Crazystallion wrote: ↑Mon Jul 25, 2022 2:07 pmI have seen posters banned for referencing a YouTube of a Senate hearing. Of all things.
Ah, I found the Reddit post. As mentioned in that sub-thread, the poster in question was banned because he was repeatedly evading a forum ban so that he could pursue a personal vendetta against a random admissions consultant. The initial ban (and the subsequent multiple bans of his sockpuppet accounts) had nothing to do with the content of the hearing video.Crazystallion wrote: ↑Mon Jul 25, 2022 3:28 pmIt was the viral Youtube video of Prof Bridges of Berkeley Law, at the hearing with Senator Hawley. The link was included in the post on TLS. It bugged one of the Mods. Apparently.
I am back and will follow the rulesCrazystallion wrote: ↑Mon Jul 25, 2022 2:07 pmWell we certainly await the return of John Dooley.

It's exhausting.
Then the poster goes to Reddit and FCBK and sounds off about what happened.
Please link or contextualize the vendetta, sounds interestingcavalier1138 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 25, 2022 3:51 pmAh, I found the Reddit post.

I can't complain, I don't want to get banned although there is always Reddit, another forum that shall not be named that most of the veteran posters here went to when TLS was bought, and xoxohth.com (autoadmit, this is the fun one). JDUnderground was more my scene when I wanted to chat with lawyers who knew what they were doing, but hey what can you do?Anonymous User wrote: ↑Mon Jul 25, 2022 11:20 amHey nealric, you seem like a fair guy usually so would you mind explaining why this poster deserves a suspension for this?

To be even-handed, Nealric, I did not intentionally start any flame wars. I posted what were pretty candid and earnest accounts of my legal career and people thought they were way more amusing than I could have guessed. Yes, I understand saying medmal gets a chuckle on a big law/public interest dominated forum but it really is not that funny. Regarding the PMs, I try to keep those views private, to avoid said flame wars.nealric wrote: ↑Mon Jul 25, 2022 1:30 pmThe poster in question started multiple flame wars, then sent me numerous PMs complaining and trashing the forum when I told him to tone it down.
