so this is freaking hilarious http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=122660 and I wanna talk about it but we can't in thread so I'm making this so we can lol at the nukes and temp bans. This is pretty severe from Hot_Bid ^_^ MYYYY guess is he's gonna do the temp ban thing, then in 13 days he's gonna have a "free key for everyone" day and they're all gonna feel SO SILLY For Raelcun ![[image loading]](http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/agent9.jpg) My monkey has a laser @_@   | ||

I thought i was gonna kill myself. i dont understand how people lurk on this site @_@ every time i see some new thread i'm just like a kid in a candy shop with free candy MUST POST NAO 2 weeks is tough x.x | ||

My suggestions are designed to make entering that thread a true risk to the participants. Perhaps a post count requirement is the wrong way to go about it. Upon further reflection, I would make the requirement based on the number of posts / week. This way, those who enter will care greatly (or so it is hoped) if they are banned or not. | ||

I cannot tell if that is sarcasm or not (Romanian, etc.), but I do not particularly care for it. It's a relic from long ago. On May 01 2010 16:13 wongi wrote: I guess this pretty much sums it up.

So thats what 5 years of lurking? Can I get some sort of award for that? But I still wouldn't want a 2 week ban for a CHANCE at a beta key. Not worth it imo. You still are a lurker, look at your icon. | ||

Though I'm not surprised by all those low postcount users, go figure they dont value posting on TL. The post requirement should have been a tad higher to make it more interesting. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=122091 This contest is hilarious and well thought out. Now all of the newcomers who joined simply to spam about beta keys can do so appropriately. If you think about it, this is pretty much getting rid of them all as well. The 19/20 who lose will be banned for two weeks and will most likely be too disheartened to come back and try again, while the 1/20 who actually won will now see no need for TL.net anymore or just become addicted to the beta (like all of us). Of course there are exceptions, such as the few veteran members who have tried their luck there. I still don't know why they'd do that though lol. I guess I'm just appreciative towards anything that is hindering the influx of the not-so-well-intentioned new posters. edit: Also, I find it so hilarious that those with less than 25 are still posting. It's just like the beta key giveaway thread. It required over 500 and people with ridiculously low amounts were still posting. | ||

It sounds like a good time. Well, until I get banned for two weeks and regret it after a day or two. As a matter of fact, I considered doing it too very briefly, even though I got a key at the 500+ handout. Gambling always has some weird appeal, and actually I could use two weeks without TL now, as I'm having some crazy times with tests and assignments coming up. But then I realized I really dont want to miss the upcoming OSL semifinals So I'll just resort to willpower. Also, I'm not trying to generalize about low post-count users, but a ton of them lately are really just people who signed up for beta-keys, and amassed 5 to 50 mindless posts in the contest threads. | ||
