There is absolutely nothing wrong with the game itself but one thing I've noticed is that SC2 is bringing out the bad apples. Every day I see absolute garbage posts from /b/tards and dicks and it's getting old. The fame of TL combined with SC2 launching just makes me sad. It's like our shrine is being desecrated every day of the week and mods have to work overtime just to keep this place neat and tidy. I'm just so sick of the shit posting that has been going on(granted I'm not the absolute ideal poster but these people never have good posts)

I don't really think it's all that bad. Sure I see more improperly tagged/bad ops in the strategy forum for example, but I don't see a major decrease in overall posting quality. Granted, I don't browse the SC2 forum very often, since it just reminds me that I don't have a beta key.

TL will persevere!

The moderator team does a good job. If anyone is out of line enough the mods ban them.

edit: but i have seen a lot of noobs on the sc2 forum

Compare TL to the bnet sc2 forums or any other SC fansite for that matter and you'll see how great of a job the TL moderator team is doing. When a game appeals to the casual side of gamers things like this happen, its inevitable.

TL would be terrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrible if the moderation was not as "strict" as it is right now and I hope it stays that way.

Everyone's so negative, good God. SC2 is expanding the community and it's a really fun time

The veterans of this site have been saying it sucks compared to the old way for years now, so it's hard to care about their/your opinions anymore.

Go actually read some old threads - they aren't as good as you remember.

I think the mods are doing a great job, every time a really stupid post comes up it's usually closed before i even have the time to reply to it.

Like chill said, TL.net is getting tons of new members beacuse of SC2, some are good, some are bad.. but it's always a good thing that the SC community is expanding.

It's not so much a It's better back then as it was there wasn't as much shit on a daily basis for me. Don't get me wrong I'm glad the community is expanding I just wish there wasn't so much baggage coming with it. That being said I'm glad the mods aren't afraid to get the ban hammer out. FA must have aged horribly from modding the SC2 forums I know it would gray my hair.
