Thanks for doing actual LR, I really enjoyed reading it when I missed the games. I'll miss it. | ||

As far as complaining about other games, that happens in sports too. Go to a team's message board if part of their game is missed because the previous game was longer than expected or went into OT. It's still pretty dumb though. I feel bad for the mods because there is absolutely no way they can keep up with the sheer quantity of posts in that thread. I'm usually not in a position where I need to follow your live report threads, but I think you do a great service, and I'm sure a lot of people will miss that. EDIT: Maybe instead of posting in the global LR thread, maybe do it as a blog and get mods to ban anybody else who posts in it? That will make easier for everybody to read, you can still provide a service that a lot of people enjoy, and you won't have to deal with all the BS . | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I mean, if SC2 people were sports fans it would probably go like this. Me: "Yeah, I was watching golf last night." Them: "WTF WHY YOU WATCH GOLF YOU'RE RUINING SPORTS BECAUSE IT'S SO BORING AND LAME." Me: "But... I like it. It's not like I hate on Hockey." Them: "STFU, HOCKEY IS SPORTS. LAME ASS ESPN SHOWING GOLF WHICH DELAYS MY HOCKEY." This was my favorite part. On a more serious note: I thought the thread title was "I am quitting SC2" and I was like OMG WHATTTTT for a second. On a moreeee serious note: Where ARE the LR threads? Never seen them | ||

Fear not, for I hope that your plight will instill courage and vigor into the hearts of other posters to take up the duty of dedicated LRing for the good of all of ESPORTS and TL. I hope that from the ashes of your retirement, a new generation will be inspired to carry on your legacy of quality LR and posting. Your LR back in TSL inspired me to attempt some LR in some of the more obscure tournament threads, and though I currently no longer have time to LR, I hope to once again take up the duty in the future. | ||

It's your call, of course, but maybe you could compile games into a single blog post, and ban the griefers? | ||

This is why you often split them up when they cross multiple days. Otherwise you could just edit the OP. As for this topic, the low quality of SC2 posts (which I contributed to) is part of the reason I found no joy in the game after a while. | ||

Before I found my eHome in TL.net I used to surf through several german websites and also did coverage for readmore & fragster. I quit the coverage due to less time and I quit posting on german sites due to trolling/offtopic spam/flaming, that was not punished by mods. TL was my heaven and I loved the mod-staff for their iron hammer, but it seems like it lost its power somehow. not sure if the TL staff needs more mods or just to remember their own strict rules (which are perfect the way they are written down). If help is needed I am willing to do my share, but right now I feel I would ban much more and harder than it`s actualy the case. : / I haven`t even read half the pages in todays LR, but what I saw was a pain. Many people in there called out for mods, because they felt left alone with the raging retards, that do nothing but destroy shit. I have seen readmore fall down and I dont want to see the same happen to TL. First indications are there though. | ||

Other than the OP, once you click submit, if the match has a shit ton of viewers, you'll get 5 pages more to read, most with responses, must be a pain in the ass to dig through to find out what happened. I think LR is a LOT more practical in smaller threads, as there is a greater ratio of relevant LR to irrelevant posts. BW threads, some less-popular GSL threads, and some less-popular tournament threads sometimes have excellent LR and discussion and are quite easy to sift through. However, the super-big, popular tournaments like NASL/GSL finals, MLG< Dreamhack, and IEM tend to be way too cumbersome to sift through to find decent LR due to the sheer bloat from all the irrelevant or inappropriate conversations and debates. However, it is always convenient to have a dedicated LR person in the thread so that a front-page link can be made to the compilation of his LR. Some of the GSL threads have been doing this, and it's quite convenient. | ||

To me LR threads are just people repeating the same thing over and over and pretty much worthless. It's like making a streamchat into a real thread pretty much. haha, a revolutionary and very good idea. edit: i have no idea if this has been proposed before. now that you've mentioned it, it seems like a no-brainer, but it would make a huge difference in the post quality of LR threads | ||

I mainly see these tournament threads as viewer reactions on the event: "OMG this is awesome" "that guy is really losing his edge" etc... (If I'm totally wrong and this is banable, it's a good thing I don't post in them ^^) | ||
