I mean honestly, how can you even begin to complain about the content of a "general" forum? How can you tell people what they should blog about? If people aren't interested in a thread it will naturally die, it's how forums work. But yeah the SC2 section is bad, but I never go in there anymore anyways. | ||

 . I agree with Emon (I think?)'s post about some sort of spam forum. Sigs gone, doesn't count for postcount, no hotlinks, etc. A lot of the time I'm reading PX or looking at the featured threads and half of them are blogs that I never saw while browsing (and I browse TL a lot), because they're buried under the masses of "[SC2]" or whatever threads that nobody cares about. I came here from a smash bros. forum, and if the Brawl influx was any indication, eventually the new users will mostly just stay within the bounds of their chosen forum. Some of the better posters will come out and explore the rest of the site eventually but it should die down. | ||

I wish there was a fantasy banning league where we could make wagers on who was going to go. 10 points for a 2 day ban, 50 for a 2 week. Oh my god it'd be great if not for the inevitable flaming it'd result in. | ||

Likewise, keeping the forum small is only a lazy and short term solution. Contributors won't have always the same quality in their posts nor will they keep posting forever. | ||

TL is still the best. Our bar for expectation is really high. So like Mani said, when you have a doubled user base it takes time for people to learn forum etiquette and for those that won't to get weeded out. Have patience my WH40k friend, it will be .leveled out eventually  | ||

The biggest reason why our staff and mods are so great is because they work on their own initiative. If you start saying you *will* be a good member, and you *will* contribute, that initiative is gone, and it is a debate of quality vs quantity. Let good people stay, let bad people leave. | ||

And there seems to be quite a lot of those. Quality posters and most of the "mature" users don't even need to read the Commandments or any other basic set of rules like that as in most cases it comes naturally to them. | ||

Imo the blog section has trends currently it's to something you don't like i remember when it was all about dream journals lol Also if you take a look at bans and take the derivative of it most mods have increased. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=108269¤tpage=3 they have increased over time. | ||

It's ironic that the people I see who have most to be proud of are the most humble, and the people who have the least are the quickest fill up with hot air. From just being on this site, people get a superiority complex, and boy, if you start giving them a few powers it's suddenly really blatant when they're looking down at you. You can look at the general mish mash of topics and say you're disappointed, but I think the problem is deeper rooted than that. TL is full of self-fascinated dickheads that just make dumb replies and lower the overall motivation of posters to create an OP that takes an ounce of creativity. That's why we get PYF threads everywhere, and smutty picture threads. They're the only ones people are willing to put the time into replying to. That and mildly controversial threads like this one. Who the hell wants to do anything for these idiots? Not me. | ||

why did you close Manit0u's new picture thread? it had a lot of potential if properly moderated. at least also ban the idiots that messed it up and demanded that they're allowed to behave like the idiots they are? that thread would have been the ideal place to weed out people who can't follow rules. | ||
