That league icon is amazing ^^. I'm glad you guys are seperating the great blogs from the meh ones so that we can see who is putting the effort forth, maybe some new stars will shine :D, also this allows me to lurk so much more efficiently
User was warned for too many mimes.

This is so meta I had to 5star it even though I felt guilty as I did so.
Well played SirJolt, well played.

As an aspirant to membership of a pro-blogging team I have to be very selective with my words here.

Poop.

Featured blogs should be based on the merits of the individual blog, not on the blogging history of the poster. At any rate, because a problogger's posts are likely to be of higher quality they would be featured regardless. The system as it exists now might encourage some spectacular falls from grace.


So your words of wisdom for the aspiring plobogger is that cheesing their way to the top of the TL GM BL with a one-blog-wonder is okay and it doesn't matter how shit you post afterwards, you've already proven your skill? D:
Maybe I'm just extrapolating and interpreting your post wrong

The new system just makes it easier for the coasters to stay GM & harder for novice probloggers to get into the rankings
But effort will be rewarded even better now, I guess. Because getting up there is going to be one mean feat.


I think you've taken the opposite of what I intended to say. I see a difference between the "featured blogs" and GM league (and currently there is no such distinction). A blog should be featured based on the merit of the blog alone, where as entry into GM league would demand consistent quality blogging. This way it would be easier for a great blog written by an unfeatured blogger to get more attention.

I agree with the second part of your post wholeheartedly: those are the concerns I am addressing. Ah, the politics.

I think this is the crux of the issue, and wrote a tool to 'feature' currently interesting blogs on TL, I call it Team Liquid Blogs of the Moment. I wrote about it in my most recent blogpost, but it's basically an attempt to not have everything as decided prior to the publishing of a blog.

semi-serious topic that i think its a shame you made fun of tbh. There are brilliant blogs with brilliant content that will never reach the featured section because its not pop culture related or posted in 10 000 char essays everytime. I honestly dont bother with the featured section what so ever. all the featured blogs are in the list with the normal blogs aswell and if one of them actually does catch my attention i'll read them there, on the same conditions as the rest of the blogs.

I agree, I used to read all the blogs and wasted a lot of time, but now I just read the featured blogs and waste less time. (Apart from the occasional girl blog, ofc.)

Also, the other elephant in the room: all the major casters are white men, and the one caster who was a different race and gender (kellymilkies) was pretty controversial/has disappeared.
