BAHAHAHAHAHA. Laughed out loud and woke up my sick roommate. 5/5 sir, that's classic.

Excellent thread! Made me laugh my arse off.
Anyway, did anyone else find it absolutely hilarious that when Empyrean mentions that people don't want to discuss with him, three people jump out of the shadows to "agree". :p

In my eyes Teamliquid.net sets the standard for forum moderation. Keep up the awesome work!

Also, there are worse places to moderate ... a LOT worse ... (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com)

The only thing mods needs to worry about the BW forums are overzealous fanboys ..

great read, while i enjoy some of the retarded threads (i always read the closed thread part of TL for the lols, having to moderate it every day must be a bore, but its got to be done i guess or else this place would fall apart

I started posting on TL when I saw how the site was moderated. I like starcraft and I saw people who were into fostering a community around it. Honestly the fact that TL is so big and that you guys still choose to stay on top of things says a lot. I've seen large communities fall apart because of bad moderation.

For example, I'm part of site that has over 700,000 registered members, it's been around for 10 years, but the forums are now dead. People still use the site for the other functions, but the traffic has significantly died over the years. A big reason: poor moderation. Even popular members left because they felt like they were being flamed constantly and disrespected.

So keep on trucking TL.

Also, I'd imagine IdrA more as Vegeta. Rage and pride. Attitude and power. He's actually perfect for him....

Before openign this thread I thought I knew exactly what I was going to read, and I was right. Eventhough i'm not a member for a long time.. actually I am but lost all my old account info because I changed sites to follow WC3 news, doesn't matter anyway. I think I understand how the mods of this site feel, I don't have to do any thing and when I visit the forums all I see is: "Another balance thread, another guy who did some useless research and put hours into it, more balance shit, a little more balance, a new SC2 song (YEAH!!!), NASL info (yeah information..., read the comments, every 2nd page the same questions pop up again...) , more balance, more zerg/toss/protss crying. I wouldn't like to be a TL mod, I don't want to go on a 100 ban banning streak everyday, not the best way to start of your day.
Appreciate all the work you guys put into it though, thanks TL.

Fire at will and show no mercy ! with the rapid growth of the community due to SC2 release we need strong moderators.

I feel worried for the mods when the community that joined during the SC2 boom turns 1 year and receives the report function. =(

Anyway keep up the good work mods, TL has been the cleanest gaming related forum I've ever known.

I realized today I'm EXTREMELY spoiled by how awesome TL moderation is. I can't step into any other forum without completely raging at morons. Thanks TL for keeping my blood pressure low (somewhat) and extending my lifespan. TL mods save lives!

Oh god yes. The hon general forums are utter trash, and the way the community acts is disgusting.
TL acturally amazes me with how civil people are with each other (Or atleast appear to be)
