Yeah, I just don't get it. I think it's mostly on my side than yours.

I get the idea that the best way to help or contribute is to start by finding something you like (let's take writing for example). 1
Then find places where writing would be contributory (Liquipedia, Tournament Section, Blogs). 2
Then just write. 3

It's #3 that really is just like: "Uh... okay. Write... what about?" and your reply runs along the lines of: "Then just write something useful on Liquipedia." "If he likes something like writing stories but doesn't know where to start then just do it by writing a story." "My response is just write something contributing to Liquipedia or anything else to TL. "

Do you see how it's not matching up?

Let's do an analogy: I have a deck of cards of things I like to do: Writing, Math, Programming, etc.
Then there are 4 suits or categories in those cards [like Hearts, Clovers, Diamonds and Spades]: Liquipedia, Map-Making, Mods, Live-Casting.

Now: I have all these cards with my likes, dislikes, my qualities and my defaults and I want to place them in those categories.

How would I do that? How would I place them in those categories?

Edit: don't worry. no offense is taken. If you're taking the time to clarify, I doubt you'd be doing it with a negative intent ;P

I tried to say that the best way to contribute in a long term way for TL is in my opinion if you do it with something you like and have quality in. However if you're poor at something you like you can improve so start with something you like to do.

In the case of OP the question was more like I don't know what I like and don't know where the quality is but I want to help.

So In your case the order would be Like - quality - defaults - dislikes. As your liking can improve by doing it a lot just like you can improve in sc by practising more games while quality may not always be something you like.

I...doubt it. There are many good things that you can say about the moderators, and many bad things, but one thing that I think that everyone would agree on is that they're a trusted, valuable member of the community; most of us have also contributed to multiple project, and spent hundreds, if not thousands of hours posting, writing and working before we became moderators

I can think of a number of banlings I don't think should be moderators. It's an old boys club, which I suppose means they're trusted by the old boys, but there's definitely a lot of them who've never contributed anything positive to this site before, and who make bad calls now. TL had to lower its standards for moderators a lot when they realised they had a deal with a whole new, much larger userbase. Even before that, when all my favourite mods/staff started getting too busy in their real lives, they had to quickly find replacements, half of which turned out to be not very nice people, just kind of friends with the old staff. This isn't being nostalgic about the quality of the forums exactly, but just how personable and inviting I see the staff as.

This blog really isn't about the staff, I'd prefer we didn't bring that up considering it isn't relevant

Anyway, shannn, I see what you're saying I suppose, but it basically puts me back where I started. I think I'm going to go ahead and take semioldguy's advice and look around the forums for a while and try to find something that I think is missing from the community or the forums. Thanks a lot for all of the advice, I appreciate it!
