I just threw it together myself, in about two minutes. I've seen other versions of it too.

Thanks for this. It does help us new users tread the daunting paths of TL. I'll be spending some time reading the resources you linked.

It's funny; I still feel like such a newcomer after joining TL just 1 year ago.

I guess it's all relative, considering the quality of my early posts was below par and a little bit spammish.

Thanks for making this thread, bkrow, it should help newer users learn by proxy instead of having to make mistakes/poor posts firsthand.

I thought i was doing everything right – but then i got warned/banned/thread closed!

The best way to understand what happened is to PM a moderator. A useful technique is to head to the closed threads section, jump on the automated ban list (another very entertaining part of the community) and spot a moderator that is active. Obviously if you see one who has just posted it is much easier. Click PM and ask them why you got warned/banned; if you remain calm and polite they will most certainly hear you out. There is also this:

Why my thread was closed topic?

This is located in the Website Feedback Section– another great resource; if you feel something needs to be improved on the site, post away and you will most certainly get a response.

have been in some forum orientated communites now and tl's staff is really one of the nicest and most helpful staff out there, especially if you handle everything with respect. i actually like tl even more for that!
oh...and good write up btw.
should be standard as "advanced guideline" right after you registered and accepted the toc

I think most new users who come from places like 4chan, reddit/r/starcraft, and the b.net forums don't bother to read the rules because they haven't heard of this strange and foreign thing called "moderation", and they simply assume that the mods here are as lenient and negligent as those over there.
