EPTRegarding the original issue I'm going to mostly agree with Mani that there is still quality stuff, but that it's harder to find. TL and its forums certainly has a hard challenge with SC2.

Ugh. I started watching the streams a couple months ago, and I can only dream about having decent, mature discussion while watching a game live. Jokes and banter are fine, but the unfortunate tendency of the internet is to devolve into worthless meme slinging. That's just how it is. I've already given up hope for any meaningful conversation. These days I just leave it on and retreat to IRC. I used to get pissed off cause people are idiots, but as of late, I've been pretty apathetic towards everything. It's as if I'm immune to it now. Just click, choose IP Ban Forever and head back to IRC. It's never gonna change. It's just the way things are. | ||

Maybe they could say, give the ops within his thread to the thread starter if he has over xxxx number of posts and has a clean history. Since we're looking for mature people and we say we have some around they could as well teach the kids one way or another. Because I don't see any other way to educate newcomers than to show them the exemple of a clean place / thread. Maybe that way they'll learn ? Less global bans and maybe give more warnings that would not allow you to post for a couple of hours. That way maybe people will think twice before posting random crap in the threads. But there will be a demographic issue anyway. | ||

And no I may not be the site's number one contributor either, I may even be part of the problem every once in a while, but that doesn't mean stopping the new kids from making new threads the moment they join (asking why they lost to mass scouts) a bad idea. And I may be a big fan of porn, but when I want porn I go to porn sites. No the NSFW tag doesn't help, you all know you can't NOT click it! Pokemon. edit: There's a week's membership's time implemented already? Can anyone tell? | ||

This has already been thanks-but-no-thanks'd by said staff I believe, pointing at low-post contributors, but I almost feel like it's not worth the odd brilliant article to see the fifteen new useless topics a week. If someone has something of actual merit to contribute, surely they can let a mod know or something?

General is.....general. I mean, I hate KPop and Pokémon too, but a great deal of people on TL hold interest in such topics (and this was before the influx as well). As such, it makes perfect sense it would be located in the General section. As for the SC2 section, I do agree to an extent that it has deteriorated. It is to be expected with so many new members and not enough people to handle it all. But assuming dilligent moderation, it should eventually get better. | ||

We'd have to set it up trap style though. Like when you register an account with March 17, 1995 as your birthday, a message comes up that says "Congratulations on joining TL.net! You will gain full posting priveleges in 3 years. Please take that time to review our forum guidelines and have fun reading others' posts!" Then we log the IP so if they remake another account right after we just blast it. | ||

Otherwise we might only see tall white dudes instead of the asian midget fetish we all share. How can Blizzard not see this ! Especially we now have Hyunjoon in the progamer show that is a living proof of true Korean Esport greatness and spirit. | ||
