I am not a great poster, and not much of a contributor to Teamliquid. I did at most a couple translations back in the day my last being when July finally got the golden mouse. And generally I admit my posting history is really bad.
As SC2 announcement came and brought influx of new users, I felt as though the TL that I first known when I joined died. I do know many positive things came from SC2 such as Day9 TV, TL becoming bigger than ever with their own HQ, etc.
Yet... I feel as though the general quality has gone down. Enough to make a bad poster even like me cringe sometimes.
Therefore I ask the moderators for another purge!

Even if I get banned from this purge, I'd know it'd be for the greater good!
BTW: I miss you Fakesteve :[

I agree completely. The posting quality went way up the last time there was a purge. I think a new one would really help the environment in General and Starcraft 2 in particular.
|
TL is such a fantastic community, and things like this are completely necessary to maintain some form of integrity.
Now if only we could get an exterminatus on the General forums...
|
I would SUPPORT!
Even if I got purged!
Back to lurking, but lurking GOOD posts.
Although, the highlighted posts in SC2 strategy seemed to have upped the quality a little bit, in a subconscious or conscious attempt for people to try to get that kind of prestige also.

I was formerly banned in a purge; all for it.
|
THUMBS UP
This forums need some major cleaning up.
|
I've thought about this myself. I think it would be a good thing. Especially IMO they need to hand out some SC2 strat forum bans.
|
Someone bump Linked thread in OP to kick it off.
Wheres lemonwalrus?

|
Wow I didn't even realize fakesteve hasn't been active(T_T). What happened to him?
Also, yeah another purge would be great.

yeah lets make lemonwalrus do it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
edit: On a serious note I'm up for a purge, but considering how fast this forum moves now it'll be hard for banlings/mods to keep up with the shitwaves breaking through

- Don't post like an idiot,
- Don't insult people,
- Don't judge people based on post count,
- Read over all your words before you hit post,
and you wont get banned.
Seems like every day is purge day recently.

Burn the heretic. Kill the mutant. Purge the unclean.
The Emperor will protect his faithful.

Funny to see in the 2004 thread that a lot of the people that weren't banned now have special icons or stars

still callin for this shit: make posts that contribute nothing bannable and unleash the pain

I'd rather not have another purge, because if it happened, the entire LoLforum would explode into a forest fire of bans.

If MrHoon is up for it, it must be done!

Just give Rekrul back his banhammer and I'm sure the purge will occur.
Rekrul for mod '11!
|
See so many veterans posted here to support this already.
So, what was so special about the purge in the past? Was it like permabans instantly or similar to what is happening every day now?
|
Can anyone please explain to me a little bit about how the process of the purge?
It sounds quite interesting though and I know there's a lot to clean-up so I support this as well.
|
Get rekrul in on this shit.

Meh, moderations already pretty harsh, what would you purge?

Manifesto7: Glad you could make it, Kennigit...
Kennigit: Watch your tone with me, boy. You may be the mod, but I'm still your superior as an admin.
Manifesto7: As if I could forget. Listen Kennigit, there's something about SC2 you should know.
Manifesto7: Oh no, it's already begun. These users may look fine now, but it's only a matter of time before they turn into the derps!
Kennigit: What?!
Manifesto7: This entire forum must be purged.
Kennigit: How can you even consider that? There's *got* to be some other way.
Manifesto7: Damn it, Kennigit! As your future Administrator, I order you to purge this forum!
Kennigit: You are *not* my Admin yet, boy. Nor would I obey that command even if you were.
Manifesto7: Then I must consider this an act of treason.
Kennigit: Treason?! Have you lost your mind, Manifesto?
Manifesto7: Have I? Admin Kennigit, by my right of succession and the sovereignty of my hammer and cycle, I hereby relieve you of your command, and suspend your banlings from service.
Fakesteve: Manifesto! You can't just--
Manifesto7: It's done! Those of you who have the will to save this forum, follow me. The rest of you... get out of my sight.
Kennigit: You've just crossed a terrible threshold, Manifesto.
Manifesto7: Fakesteve?
Fakesteve: I'm sorry, Manifesto. I can't watch you do this...

Hahahaa!! Mani as Arthas? He'll commit seppuku rather than be analogised to a War3 Character...
But heck that mission was intense!!
|
when you have a bunch of retards u know u've made it big
anyway i've been wanting a purge ever since sc2 dropped
|
will probably get nailed by this purge
support it anyway
|
Everyone loves the purge, but everything goes back to normal after about a week. Mods are banning like 20 people a day already these days.
|
Will I be spared from the hammer? Maybe, maybe not.
Will back it up no matter what.

Stopped reading. Both are admins. Huge continuity issues. Borderline purgable.

but..
the allusion doesn't work if they are both admins..
I guess he should have picked a banling/admin duo
EDIT: oh wait unless that was a joke in which case please don't purge me :'(
I also just realized the entire LoL forum would probably be banned. That's unfortunate

LMAO
The ban-hammer is teetering on the edge...
The crowd waits in suspense, as the slightest post may cause it to tip onto the TL world, causing mass destruction and mania, but in the end, cleansing said world of all unrighteousness and stupid posts.

I dunno it sounds weird and doesn't fit no matter what.

this "even if i get purged, im for it" type deal is completely creepy. if i have to explain why it is, you're affected by it. but ya, i used to post on tl.net back during saviors domination before bisu raped him in the msl. (i cant remember what year that was) and back then i couldn't post half the shit i can now. i think i've been banned once on this account (if any mod can pm me, and help me get back my account that i used on tl.net years ago, i'd love you forever) for posting a shitty one-liner in a live report thread for idra vs jinro, haha. the slow decline in posting quality is unavoidable once many people start posting on the board. everyone remember when /b/ was actually original? and everyone lurked /b/ with photoshop open so the epic threads were full of original content? go on /b/ now. forced memes and reposts all day. popularity makes everything shitty (even things that were good, /b/ and teamliquid for example) which can easily be chalked up to the fact 50% of humans alive have under a 100 iq.
p.s not to say that teamliquid completely sucks now, but any mod, knows deepdown in his heart, the forums aren't anything like they were years ago. its a damn shame.

Purge? That sounds a little extreme. A dozen users are banned on a daily basis. The moderator staff is huge now.
Those purges took place when the internet, TL, was a much smaller place. Now that TL is sponsored, and is the forerunner in an exploding scene, a purge sounds like pretty much the worst idea.
Maybe they worked in the past, but they certainly aren't the future. Think crusades. I think the current system works. Banlings are here for us.
|
Yea, Lexpar, but don't you want to F5 a thread that Rekrul is going bat-shit crazy in?

If we somehow removed all the content that added literally nothing of value or interest, TL threads would be 1/4th the size and 100x better quality reading. I share the same view as you that someone dumping the unorganized contents of their brain RAM (particularly if someone else already said exactly the same thing) is just as bad as (or worse than) any other offense that happens.

And reason's like this are exactly why we need another one. For people asking what is a purge, just think about what the word means.
It's just a more devoted effort to cleaning up shitty posters I suppose, which the mods seem to doing a pretty good job of now a days. However putting a title of something, and fear into people's hearts is always nice.

I want there to be a Purge 2011, just for the Tshirts afterwards. I started reading right around the last Purge so I didn't get to truly experience the fear.
The righteous need not fear the wicked, y'all. Let the bannings begin.

I too support the idea of a purge - post-sc2 posting was much more...wonderful than its current state.
And this too is coming from someone who isn't a great poster (with 2 whole threads created...i need to stop being lazy some day and actually voicing myself...>.>)

Id love me some purging. Even if I deserve it. Ive seen more white heading recently so I think that the mods are up to something.
