Gogo MoonBear for live reporting in LR threads. You are the reason many people read them! | ||

Also, I have to admit I have probably contributed more than my fair share of simple compliments and shallow observations to discussions. I will definitely try to contribute posts that are more substantial in the future. Some times I forget that this is not just a community of like minded individuals, but a competitive community. Sifting through generic junk to find a decent post from a member pisses me off sometimes too, so its kind of embarrassing to realize I am just as much part of the problem. Bleh. | ||

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. Haha luckily i work a desk job for a company that hasn't blocked any websites. So my days include TL.net and whenever i can sprinkle in a little bit of work here and there  It's also funny you mention that because i would say a lot of my post count comes from Live Reporting in LR threads. | ||

It's pretty easy to make the mistake as well. Take the recent gsl finals for example. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=222525 Do a cntrl+f, search for live report, it's not there. It's the same on almost every thread in the SC2 tourney section as well. | ||

I actually thought the person doing the LRing was a bit strange. Why is the LR really necessary though? I can't really think of a situation where you could access a popular gaming site like teamliquid and not be able to access justin.tv, gom, or ustream. Maybe people with very poor internet connectivity? It's pretty easy to make the mistake as well.

It's the same on almost every thread in the SC2 tourney section as well. There can be many reasons people can't access the stream;
These are just a few i can think of. LRing has helped me stay in the loop so many times i find it an invaluable resource. | ||

A not technical reason would be that a person has more things to do that are of a higher priority then watching a professional SC2 game. But they still want to know what happens in the game, so by checking the LR Thread from time to time, they can find those stacked, self-replied reports and stay in the loop. Its far better to read those I think then a simple recommendation poll, since it includes the details. | ||

With time though I think people become more involved and aware of what's going on in the site. TL is pretty tricky to navigate when you're new here and it's easy to make some of the mistakes you talked about. Me for example wouldn't have bothered to read your post 2 years ago but back then I also never posted either. I think the common theme of your OP is think before you post, and strangely enough that is really difficult for many. | ||

One question though, is there a certain mod (or group of mods) who should be contacted, say, for problems on certain boards? Or will any moderator handle any problem? | ||

oh btw the reason TL.net =/= google is because TL/net >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Google, just look at the epic stories ad how-to's you find in the blog sections, far more informative and accurate than what google can give you =D. | ||

I want this forum to be a place where I can come and see some sensible talk. Hopefully people will agree and start acting accordingly. | ||

Since I'm new (obviously) this was helpful , and the (rather hard) set of rules you've got makes sense , to keep the quality high I mean. And I will think twice before posting a thread | ||

No, the 10 is best, however, any warning (advertised or not) could/should link to it.. just cause it can't be bad and it might help genuinely lost posters (lost=new but good people, not lost= get the fu&/ out of here you don't belong)  On May 15 2011 16:57 L3g3nd_ wrote: nice to see stuff like this, when people make an account they should be insta linked to this!

Very interesting I must say. <3 this particular discussion/concept. @op: i think you being "relatively" new is a plus as op poster.

Mods are just people who have a position where they help do cleanup. They are janitors. All this treating them with silk gloves, carefully stepping around them and as in these kinds of threads' case trying to suck up to them consolidates their artificial authority. It is good that mods exist, and it is good that people follow rules - but this submissiveness towards what could often be just a teenage boy, by an educated adult shows why internet communities and their heirarchys look so wrong. People should respect moderators, but no more than they respect other users. Likewise mods should give proper respect back, like in a civilised community. Anything else is so medieval. | ||
