I remember when I first thought "lol look at this funny warning at the top of this thread, things must have gotten out of hand for this to be here."

Now it seems like those warnings are on top of every SC2 related thread. I've almost completely phased out reading SC2 related threads outside of news/translations, and then I just read the OP and anything that follows up with content.

I actually read your final Live Report, and I really appreciated you posting since I missed the finals and I really want to get a glimpse of what was so upsetting. Very sorry to hear that you'll stop, people should realize that LR is all we had before VoDs and streams. It's insane that people are demanding so much out of streaming these days.

Well, I got to page 40. I think this thread is an overreaction. Despite not watching the games, from reading the comments I could certainly understand what was happening in the games. I don't think we necessarily need someone writing a narative about the game - reactive comments serve the same purpose and allow people to post freely.

The problem is that the better the players and the better the games, the worst the live reports become...

Take out LR, gives users an inaccurate post number. TeamLiquid post rules like contribute with your posts, and people just gain post count and partial reputation just by spamming useless posts in the LR threads. I never made over 5 posts in LR, and I think those are just a cheap way to get posts. If you must to help people who can't want, make it so that your post counts will NOT increase, then tell me if at least 60% of the people will still post.

If you don't agree, at least MOD the posts a bit stricter. Don't allow posts like WTF JUST HAPPENED?

You made it to 2.7k posts and still LRed?
Man, good job. Not sure how you made it that far, but your tolerance is commendable.

Agreed with this. I'm predicting tonight's GSL (HuK, MVP, NesTea) will be a jolly experience in LR.

On topic - I always felt sorry for your posts (When I say that I mean they were all alone lost amongst some stupid ass debate), a gem amongst a sea of bullshit. You were what kept me in the LR thread especially when I only had my iPhone on me ie not at home.

I hope you'll reconsider, but I don't blame you at all. Best of luck and hope to still see you posting in the more civil areas of the board.

I don't know maybe its just me but ever since a few months into the SC2 section. One I got kinda bored with SC2 and stopped playing but continued to read the threads but at some points the posting quality seems to have gone down so much I just left. I can't say I'm by any means a very good poster but heck. Seeing all the hate made me leave :o. Now it's just blogs Sports & Games a little DotA2 basically o.o

Never tried LR'ing and now with this I really don't want to try...

While a good idea, it just shouldn't be necessary in the first place.

Sorry to hear it Moonbear, when my internet would shit on me, LR's like yours were the only thing keeping me in the action T_T

The problem is that either you perma ban all the retards on the LR or you do something, because right now for a major event it's almost impossible to get the LR... so much trolling going on.
