Something unexplainable happened one Halloween on Teamliquid. With EffervescentAureola getting banned only a few weeks after his BFF StateofReverie received a 90 Day Temp Ban, Liquidians were faced with fears that they would be unable to reach their daily quotas of stupid bullshit. One man by the name of Rusty Eyeballs, a hero of sorts, rose to the challenge barely an hour after EA's ban. He took time out of his day, probably dozens of seconds, to compile compelling evidence - including his anecdotal ladder experience and statistics that exist probably - to tell us that there's, like, "totally a lot of zerg players you guys."
Immediately we could feel our "stupid bullshit" meters soar to safe, sustainable levels even in the absence of AE, SoR, and any particular drama. But it didn't stop there. Soon after, we saw our first copycat hero. A man named Mrvoodoochild1, perhaps with good intentions, created another thread where he cleverly replaced the word "zerg" with "protoss." Clearly a work of comic genius, but he could have never known the horror it would trigger. Quickly we saw more copycat heroes emerge, overflowing the site with very dangerous levels of stupid bullshit.
We can see in the four closed copycat threads that have arisen at the time of my writing, none of them have any mod comments written in them. This shows that the stupid bullshit has started to overwhelm the moderators already. They have the strength to close the thread but are then too tired to comment on it. At this rate, who knows how long the levees of moderation can hold back the stupid bullshit? When will it get through to the innocent ESPORTS fans on the inside? We cannot afford to find out.
There is only one man who can save us from the clutches of stupid bullshit. One man who has shown an unrivaled control over stupid bullshit, knowing just when to use it and when to mysteriously disappear after introducing it. So please, when next Tuesday's Election rolls around, vote Rusty Eyeballs for next TL moderator. Thank you.
I'm not Rusty Eyeballs (thankfully) and I approve of this message.

I think this fine work of Art by CecilSunkure fits the situation pretty well...
I guess it is just normal that we see an in explosion in idiocy. Much more TLers since SC2=more idiots

It's not made by Cecil, it's by Chill from 2 years ago

Then I am sorry that I gave credit to the wrong person. With the new info the work of art becomes even more remarkable. CecilSunkure is an ass for hurting the copyright laws though

I blame The Community. They're always at it for this kind of stuff.

That zergs flooding NA ladder OP is so terrible, don't know why it wasn't closed immediately. "Hey guys I played a ton of zerg in plat today and also theres some study that I can't be bothered to find that supports this." Within a page, it turns into a general "zerg op", "zerg easy race" whine-fest. A year or two ago it was "Protoss super ez, zerg is the real mans race!"
|
Still the best SNR (signal to noise ratio) of any website. You could try to promote quality posts instead of whining about the noise.

I like it when threads complaining about moderation and threads complaining about bad threads that have been closed are both active at the same time. It's like seeing fire and water meet. And like when fire and water meet air loses no matter which side wins. I am not air or water or fire. I am earth. I do not give a fuck which side wins because I will not remember either side after I have outlasted them.
Be like me.

A blog about bullshit must be full of bullshit. Incept-a-bullshit at its finest.
|
Oh shit I totally forgot StateofReverie got banned........ That explains the lack of blogs to keep me entertained hah!

Actually Chill drew that back in 2010.

Don't forget the influx of LoL and dota2 players as well.

The original zerg thread has been closed, without moderator comment ofc.
Nice try, fair warrior Rusty Eyeballs

You can thank me for getting AE banned.

I find it kind of sad that the blog section is sort of the cause of some of this. SoR and AE just shit it up there. They posted tons of absolute crap that took 10 min to make and posted it every 10 min. It was kind of sad for a guy like me who puts time and effort into his blogs to see a lof of their stuff just clog it up. It's not a problem when someone has 2 blogs up in the blog area at the same time, its a problem when it's AE or SoR because before you click on it, you know its a [girl] blog or a [stupid] blog with 0 time taken to create it, which makes me sad. I don't like shitting on other people, in fact I hate it, but most of their blogs are just terribad. I think the bullshit level will go down soon.
