I don't think I agree with the order 4-7, it should be like: 4. Good posters with lots of posts 5. Good posters with small amounts posts 6. Bad posters with lots of posts 7. Bad posters with small posts The things is that a lot of new members join teamliquid and they don't understand the posting policies implemented here. All the things you mentioned in your list of A through E can get you banned, so a person with high post count must have done something constructive to not be perma-banned. | ||

When new posters come in doing stuff like posting a thread for the fifth or sixth time, we don't tell them that it's a thread that's already been made because we hate them, we tell them because they're breaking the forum etiquette/customs/rules and need to be educated. We're not trying to moderate them. We're just giving them notice that "hey, you should search before posting to see if it's been posted" because we don't want the site cluttered with dozens of exactly similar threads. Also, we warn you so the mods don't. Us saying something is better than an official mod warning, because those count against you for bans. | ||

Let's say for example haji, that the first post I ever saw of you was something I would consider douchey. After that point, it would be very hard for me to change my impression of you, regardless of how great of a contributor you are to teamliquid as a whole(and we all know you are lol). The first post of yours that I did see was you welcoming me to Teamliquid on my other blog post, and so I now consider you one of the nicer people on TL. It's weird how that works out, and how simple it is. | ||

The only thing I could really do is provide free SC2 lessons. But, that would be on the SC2 forums, and well... Nobody gives two shits about the SC2 forums. Maybe I'll make another blog post, and ask people about ways I could positively contribute to this site. xD | ||

It's welcoming at times, and then, at others, it's the shittiest place anyone with any opinion can go to. Part of the reason why it's so confusing is because of the really solid heirarchy, which basically goes like this: 1. Admins and actual Teamliquid members. 2. Mods 3. People who contribute a lot to the site. A.K.A meaningful blogs, etc. 4. People with lots of posts. 5. People with lots of posts. 6. People with a low amount of posts. 7. People with very low posts. 8. People who are newcomers to the site. 4-7 are where I have problems. The reason I have problems with 4-7 is that, quite a few times, the people with "lots of posts" got those posts from either A. Trying to be wannabe mods. B. Flaming others (refer to A) C. 4 word posts. "Lol Cool story bro." D. Flaming others (refer to A-B) E. Trying to be mods. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/search.php?q=cool story bro&t=c&f=-1&u=&gb=date Do you see how many hits that phrase has on the automated ban list? Dont post mindless garbage without checking your facts. The people who have really high post counts here have them because they were able to follow the rules, at least enough not to get kicked out permanently. The rules include not flaming others baselessly and backseat modding, so again, full of shit. On September 19 2010 11:46 TheEpicLolz wrote: Not saying that there aren't people with several meaningful posts, but really, this is what I've been seeing from a lot of the "veterans". I don't like this system. I don't like how, just because I'm a bit newer to this community than someone else, my opinion all of a sudden is of less worth. You don't know what kind of person I am, and my post count definitely is not a direct reflection of myself. No its not. But read my previous point, people with high post counts have proven they can at least reign their idiocy in enough to not get banned. Theres no guarantee a low post count user isnt an idiot. Theres simply not enough evidence to support that, seeing as you havent made enough posts. The more posts you make, the easier it is to judge you by them, and if by that time you're still here, it means that you're alright. On September 19 2010 11:46 TheEpicLolz wrote: I also have problems with some of the mods. Not saying all of you are bad but... Power abusers much? This is a blog so I feel like I can express my opinion when I say, wow... Some of the mods are the biggest trolls I have ever seen. You may contribute a bit to the site, but don't ruin your reputations by being so incredibly harsh to people. Yes, there are several people that deserve some of this harshness, but try to be reasonable with it. Why should they? How does it benefit them not to have fun in THEIR house, a site of their creation, belonging to and run by them? Who are you to tell them what they do on their own site? They could go around and pm all the members horse porn and then ban them, and it still wouldnt be out of line, they have every right to do anything they want on their own site. Make your own site and you'll see noones gonna have a right to tell you what you can or cannot do on it either. On September 19 2010 11:46 TheEpicLolz wrote: The only way for a community to be seen as welcoming, is if it is actually welcoming. Teamliquid's a great site, but on the community side of things, it's EXTREMELY unwelcoming at times. I just wish it wasn't like this, and that there were ways for everyone to be able to express themselves equally, without the need for posts like, "Use the search function noob", or "cool story bro." Again, people calling others noobs randomly, or cool story bro'ing, get warned or banned. Where the hell is this drivel spouting from?

If what you have to say is worth hearing, people will listen. Theres a lot of low post count users on this site that are HIGHLY respected because of how well thought out their threads and posts are. If you're not gonna put any effort into it and go 'OmG tRrran iz imbalLAnced we shud totlayl delte from sc2 LOL XD EPIC WIN XD' no, noone wants to hear it | ||

Many of the users with higher post counts were generally pretty bad at posting in their first couple of months in TL (I was smth like SuperArc but my english was worse), but the good thing is, that TL always gives you a chance to fit in and find your way to contribute. Ofc when you are willing to do so. When I've settled for doing gfx for a long period of time I was absolutely hopeless in it, but I kept sharing my work and ppl were very encouraging to me. So its pretty much about your intentions really, its great that the current system rewards the good effort and destroys the baal like attitude on sight oh man I remember when i first joined I made a spoiler post in the vod tracker thread and got smashed for it >< | ||

this analogy is apt for the poster population as a whole, because older dogs are also quite prone to losing control of their various sphincters. but when a dog you really love makes a doo-doo, it's more like "aww you poor doggie you". | ||
