I've seen quite a few threads or blogs that basically contain about 30 people bashing on the OP, or viciously attacking a post they don't agree with. There are some nice people and some mean people, just like in any community. I guess in comparison TL is better than other communities, but I wouldn't say it's exactly nice... I've heard the BW section is much better though.

I think Chill said it the best, the IRL community is what is amazing. If you have ever been to a Starcraft event, or tournament you will see the amount of really cool people. That is probably what Day[9] is talking about as well. The internet is the always going to be that place where people have no fear of what they say.

Yeah, most of the time "community" refers to Live events and/or TL. The community at large isn't amazing, but it's not the worst either. Try playing something like Dota/HoN/XboxLive/WoW and you'll see that we have it pretty good.

SC community is definitely nowhere near as unpleasant and venomous as LoL or some of the other communities I've seen in gaming.

Neither of those things are true...

I dont care if the community is respectful or not, but the OP is obviously correct in that the whole community is overwhelmingly NOT.

If you stay out of the General forum, that makes a very huge difference. You'll notice that most newer posters hang out there and a lot of vets post a lot less there now.

I don't find that many BM people, I've probably had less than 10 people BM me ever. People exaggerate it and eventually you begin to look for it. And don't say quitting without GGing is BM, it's just not as polite. Like many people above me have already said, go play DotA for the first time and you'll see how good this community is.

Just look at ThorZain. I'm always amazed at his good manners. Unlike some other people, when he says gg wp congratulations, I believe he really means it. White-Ra too. It always feels warm around my heart when I see how respectful and well behaved they are.

These threads or blogs about the utopian internet are getting tiresome.... In the end what does it really matter, you are either entertained by it or you have some real growing up to do.

The internet is not a perfect world, just because you post on a board of generally well mannered people does not mean that they all are or that others will be. Zeal with....

It doesn't make a dent in my life one way or another. I'm just noting the inherent obstacle in promoting SC2 or E-Sports in general. That is, the fact that it's core is populated by internet identities. With internet identities comes volatility and a tendency for people to devolve into having prepubescent tendencies.


I don't know about you, but when I go watch a sporting event, there's a ton of BM assholes.

day9 comes across as such a genuinely nice guy who has been through it all and just loves starcraft that it takes a special kind of jerk (combat ez etc) to be a dick to him

he also doesnt wade into pointless internet debates which only serve to make people hate you, and never result in more fans.

so i can see why day9 thinks everyone is just super

Although it is considerably worse than it was before SC2 this is still one of the most mature gaming communities I have ever been a part of. I can only think of the Dofus community as being nicer, and that game had a really tiny community.

Its easy to forget that these words and posts aren't just letters on a screen, but are actually thoughts and opinions of real people. I'm reminded of when Blizzard said they were going to force their WoW forum users to display the poster's real name, and how everyone got outraged that their identities would be compromised. Its a lot harder to be mean spirited when you remember that the person you're dealing with is also another human being. That's why live community events are better; you have to interact with other people face to face.

Its also hard to be genuinely funny, but sadly that doesn't stop most people from trying to come up with the wittiest response.

I don't know for sure if you're making this statement or not, but the bolded part makes me think that you're arguing that people didn't like the real name idea because then they might feel like they're talking to a real person. Let me assure you this isn't the case. Facebook uses real names(most people do at least) and there's still plenty of assholes and arguing. People didn't want real names on Blizzard forums because of the potential for real life harassment and safety issues.

How many times have I heard Day9 utter something along those lines? Sure there are isolated incidents of awesomeness that stand out amidst a muck of spiteful behavior, but I can't help to think he's trying to promote an image that isn't even (t)here.

I'm talking about the abundance of BM that exists in our small, expanding, community. I get on ladder and am on the receiving end of all sorts of venting. Ok, so perhaps people get frustrated in game, especially at a high masters level of play where people take the game fairly seriously. But even on the forums I cannot escape the patronizing war of words.

It seems to be less abundant at the highest levels of play, but it's still there. Why do the cast of State of the Game have to have their every word scrutinized? They wonder the same thing. And yet they co-host with Idra, who doesn't refrain from laughing when talking about Drewbie going to Korea?

Not everyone can be Sheth. But then I realize that Day9 is on to something. It starts at the top. If those with the highest levels of exposure can promote the idea of being gracious and well-mannered, maybe it can trickle down.



the closest you can get to perfectly manner is the koreans but they still bm

Whaaa, Koreans on ladder are bm as fuck, at least as much as anyone else. At the pro level this is true

This community is really good. Compared to most communites that i've been to, this one by far is the best. People practicing with one another to get better, discussing game mechanics. For the most part, on TL, people are looking to make each other better. I can say the same thing about the street fighter community too. They have a lot of hype, but for the most part they respect each other as players. Good or bad. Both communities have their bad mannered players however. On the grand scheme of things Starcraft has one of the best communities I've ever been apart of. I used to play a lot of DoTA and trashtalking was pretty much apart of the game. Nobody had ANY respect for the other as a player for the most part (not saying that about the community as a whole). Spend a bit on Xbox Live or PSN if you have the chance...Your ears will bleed due to the amount of BM and trolling in general. It's terrible sometimes.

To me "this community" means teamliquid. And we are mostly filled with nice and helpful people.

When in a time of serious need post a thread about it and see what happens. You will see what kind of community this is.
