Great thread, I agree with Chef & Synapse though, I haven't seen your name before! :D
City indeed, but since you have a TLPD icon you are one of the most hardworking and least appreciated members according to my beliefs.

Damn I was going to do something similar to this when I hit 5,000 posts ):

Ah well! Nice job (and congrats on the position!)

Don't worry Torte, there's been at least 100 of these threads. One more won't hurt.

I doubt the effectiveness of making even 1000 threads about this as many people will never learn that spending 30 seconds to read something benefits you your entire time here and on other forums. Sadly, the only real way to deal with them is to punish them. I know I don't have many posts and I'm not gonna say the "I've been lurking for 8 years herp derp" but I've been registered since 04 and since SC2 has come, the community has expanded and alot of "below poster quality" people have come literally having no recognition of the 10 Commandments or "Rules". Sometimes, I think whether Teamliquid would be better off being the #2 site so all the bad posters leave. I don't want that to happen though, obviously, you guys deserve all the traffic since you are a hard-working site

So long as the rules are there, precise and clear, there will always be a handful of people who abide by them (who wouldn't previously if the rules weren't apparent)

People think their opinions, or lack thereof, are relevant. People would rather type a boring, mundane, or clueless post than actually take the time to read a thread and contribute to it in a meaningful manner. This leads to any thread with promise being filled after the first couple of pages with virtually hundreds of posts that are verbatim to the earlier ones.

I don't expect every post to be a masterpiece or some ridiculously thorough examination of the topic at hand, but posting standards should be higher for everybody.

Step 1: Read thread/post.

Step 2a: Add something insightful or relevant to the discussion.
2b: Don't have anything insightful or relevant? Try being funny.
2c: Don't have anything funny to say? Don't post.

Step 3: Repeat for all following posts.


I made this post some time ago in a different thread, but it's applicable here as well.

tl;dr + Show Spoiler +
don't do this, it's an almost safe way of getting banned/warned


not only is the closed forum good example to learn what not to do, it's also one of my favorite forums here. so much entertainment value and the banned list is always nice to look at.

Good read! TL.net should just redirect new users to one of these posts/rules thread after they register. Would help get rid of the 'accidental' rule-breakers.

Also, congrats on your new icon bkrow

Knowing your posting ability it would be a thread to rule all threads and when you hit 5,000 posts i am sure this thread will be buried and there will be a wave of new posters to inform. The community is growing at a ridiculous pace

Well that's the point - you have over 3,000 posts, which means i can assume you understand enough about the community to still be here. It's the new users that fall into these common traps - especially things like posting in the SFW picture thread without a picture!! Or when people TL:DR threads; both of these don't end up good, but who would really know?

Haha about 3 months ago p4NDemik recruited me and a few other guys; and then recently asked if we wanted the icon - i guess we were on probation to make sure we weren't inept or something? It's actually a lot of fun working on the TLPD stuff i recommend it to anyone that has the opportunity

Thanks for the spotlight JWD ♥

Nice writeup. I learned a bit from it.

Unfortunately I think the target audience is the least likely group to read this.

I think it's more because I've been here since 07 and have seen so many bad trolls and shitty posts. I'm glad you wrote it. I just hope new people take it to heart.

BTW holy shit you're a posting machine... more than me in like a quarter of the time.

Was going to say the same thing. Kind of funny to have somebody make a blog on how TL works who has only been here for a grand total of 7 months...but you do make good points though so I can't really complain.
