Cool story bro
Push + Show Spoiler [Sorry, serious nerd-rage] +
oh my fucking word, now every single fucking time someone moves out onto the map "his push here". NO! SHUT UP! FOOL! Have you played hundreds of TvP's on Python, 5-fact'ing , where you push down the middle and loose everything, or when you push too slow and they bomb the shit outta you/outmacro, or when they nab you cause you're moving too fast unsieged, especially when it's impossible to worry-less-ly secure a 3rd? When they can loose whatever the fuck they want, but if you loose dem tanks you're outta the game. HAVE YOU, HUNH?! Then I don't think you're qualified to use the term 'Push' 'till you've gone through the pain.

I feel the term 'bitch' could be dispersed through this paragraph for more dramatic effect.

[lol] This thread is still alive? (NaDa's Body. seriously, ban the fucks who just waste space like that, not contributing a thing).

sorry for the agro I just really get ruffled the wrong way when I feel TvP, the old bane of my BW existence, is so lightly thrown about.

I never use any of those.

Not even the ones in your list except for timing attack and I used it less than twelve times.

"All-in" is serverely abused. If you can successully transition out of it when it fails, than it's not an all-in. Now there is some chance to come back if you kill enough of your opponents workers but still fail to win outright. But generally if you don't kill many workers and can still win by transitioning to another strategy, than it is not an all-in, is it?

2 hatch Muta is not an all-in, for example. You don't have to win with it, just do enough damage and you can move onto Hive tech. 2 hatch Lurker is perhaps an all-in though, as you either need to win outright or completely obliterate the Terran's natural along with some SCVs or you cannot transition out of it.

As for SC2 and casters such as Tastosis proclaiming "all-in" every 3rd game or so, it's quite absurd.

I think "timing attack" is also ridiculous at this point. It's when you maximize your army and time it for a point when your opponent is busy expanding, teching, or powering. It's more than just attacking when you have ammassed a good army. It must be also be tied to a moment of weakness for your opponent. Recent SPL spoilers:

+ Show Spoiler +
Flash vs Soo and Jaedong recently. Now that is a timing attack people. MMF pressure when the zerg only has a handful of lings. Flash timed it perfectly to destroy greedy Zerg play.


The SC2 casters don't do too terrible with calling "timing attacks" and they are often correct when it's an early game attack, but they sometimes call it too far into the game for it to really adhear to any specific timing.

Memes in general will get you warned/banned if used repeatedly. I've gotten warned for using "I am disappoint". Too bad, sometimes I think clutch memes can be funny, although rarely are they ever used in a brilliant way.

Yeah, Chill was fighting against the erroneous use of METAGAME and PUSH words, but one man alone cannot beat ignorance.

Not a word, but I'd love to see people who post those retarded colored ponies images on the SFW Random Pics thread banned. They are not funny, what the fuck is that shit anyway...

I can understand your reasoning for making this list but why are actual SC2 related terms like all-in and timing attack on there? I mean, what other way is there to describe a 6 pool other than 'cheese?'

From the link in the OP
Show nested quote +
Last week, we discussed the suggested list of Banished Words for 2012, a list of words developed by a former journalist at Lake Superior State University in Michigan of words that were misused, overused, and abused in 2011 that should not be used in 2012.

I suggested cheese in the same way, as I think it is a term that is incredibly overused, and misused by the majority of TL's population.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=123613

This thread (though somewhat out-dated in its examples) gives a good overview.

Cheese is something that is hard to stop if not scouted, and if scouted against, is easy to beat.

An all-in has no transition. If it fails, you should lose.

However, I see these words being misused all the time. People just don't seem to know what they mean, or choose to ignore the definition. That's why I think they should stop using them for a while.

Also, you should add "whine" to the list.

Yeah I pretty much agree with you about cheese and all-in. The problem is, by those definitions there are plenty of cheeses that fall into the all-in category and vice versa. That's why it doesn't really bother me which word people use. Many cheeses are also all in and many all-ins are also cheeses so eh, everyone knows what people mean when they say one or the other, no big deal (although it's good to remind people what the real meaning is occasionally, like with the word push).

Yes, I think TL's mods needs to be even more draconian in their ban and warning usage. Anyone who ever mentions anything about any meme whatsoever, the majority of Internet-originated abbreviations and doesn't include a ~500 words minimum essay in their every single one of their posts should be instantly banned from this site. You should also ban all swear words and any improper grammar, punctuation and spelling while you're at it. This is certainly the correct way to improve poster quality and lead to more fruitful discussions.

You should also ban sarcasm, as that is hard to convey properly over the Internet and has led to countless misunderstandings.

It isn't the words you use that gets you banned.

It's how you use them.

One thing I would add is any variation on "killing ESPORTS", e.g. threads like "Is wearing a pink hat hurting ESPORTS?".

Updated the OP. Also thanks for all the suggestions guys! Also, fabiano, they are My Little Pony pics. There are fans. Putting that on the list is 1) Not a word lol. 2) I'll get mobbed/raged at by a good portion of the TL community. No thanks

Just to clarify, I meant "Drop out" as in people "dropping out of school to go pro coz I'm like gold right now but I can totally beat MMA if I practiced 12 hours a day at home".

Also, "Drama"

This is a ban list for words, not situations lol. However, I did put the whole going pro blogs in the list. Also, I'm thinking of adding in the topic of girls putting face in picture with an object vs guys doing just the object. Thoughts?
