5 minutes after posting I wanted to edit my last blog entry to include an "Editors note". When I was done writing it I was told I had "not enough rights". I guess the thead was closed without it showing as such, but for some reason not deleted - without an explanation. Or it´s some sort of suspension and I won´t be able to post this either. I wanted to include the following:

"Editors note:

I´ve taken a lot of heat for my way of posting, I guess differently than what you are used to on some of these forums. I want this blog to be my place before anything else, to post whatever I think has value either to me, or to eSports in as a whole. Or to just fans. I´ll also throw in things that are funny and completely random.This screenshot is Starcraft-related. I hit it on the ladder, and it made me laugh, that´s important to me. And that´s what "blog entertainment" in media where I´m from typically is. I have been blogging for years, but only in swedish and obviously not so much about eSports other than the occasional shoutout to old friends who have been competing in tournaments. These types of posts may be "old", and considered a re-post. They are a part of my personality, the voice of my blog. By the way things have going I can be expecting this to be deleted and be PMd be a mod telling me "There is a thread for these types of jokes, yours have already been posted.

If this is a case then just let me know and I will blog on Facebook instead until my own website goes live. I respect your rules and if I don´t have a place here, I understand. Unfortunately haven´t been a more active part of this wonderful community until recently. Basically only using tl.net as a hub for my need for information and knowledge. I was happy posting on wcreplays.com. I didn´t feel like I needed to get familiar with an entirely new community. I was content. But then I realized how wrong I´d been. How dead the place was where I spent my time staring at the same old arguments between the same people. There was no love left for the game. And as an eSports hub it was "okay" at best. That´s why I needed the frontpage of tl.net so badly for my Starcraft needs. But I simply am not familiarized with how you run things to know for sure. I´ll respect your wishes and then take my other - out of place content - to my own little place on the web. And those who are interested in that can simply take part of that content there. I feel like it´s important to note though that
a lot of the stuff that will be posted on my blog within a day or two, once I´m deliveered an HD webcam from a sponsor, will be so much more than just long walls of text and some funny images. It´ll also include my own progress on the ladder, sometimes basically just statistics and the conclusions I can draw from them. If you feel this clutters your blog-section, as I said, I do understand.

But since I´ve recieved no PM for the moderators, and there are no stickied "Before making a new entry..." guidelides here on the blog section, which I find kind of odd considering what a tight ship you are running. I don´t really care about other peoples blogs unless they are friends of mine who do this professionally. And it´s not obvious that because most people constrict themselves to one one entry per day, that it´s a rule. I feel like a PM from a mod would be appropriate here.

I guess this instead will be a place where I only post my longer - more of value - posts about eSports if this is the case. Less personal and more content-oriented. But there is no inbetween. Either I get to keep all my posts or I take away that side of my posting completely.

But I´m beginning to understand that is perhaps for the best!

Edit: I keep forgetting this site has real blog writing functions like being able to bold things. One of the many reasons I despise using Facebook as a blog forum. Why I´m having my own site launched soon. But I still want to be an active part of the TL.net community. I just need to learn how things operate here.

Thank you for reading."

In response to the comment "Even blogs need a little more effort than 1 line and 1 picture."

Evidently that is the case for bloggers on TL.net, but as a general rule of blogging, I totally disagree with you. Sometimes a picture and one sentence is more than plenty incite a smile in your followers to brighten their day but for the briefest of moments. A blog is not the forums - a joke, or screenshot or whatever else that is on the forums considered "old! repost!" - is simply content, you´ll see on many successful blogs, eSports-related or otherwise. For it to be old is almost part of the criteria, it´s usually an entertainment bloggers job to pick out the oldies but goldies and mix that in. It´s only a small part of the content I have in mind for this blog however.

But since it´s becoming more and more obvious to me not everyone appreciates this type of "clutter" in the blog section, assumingly because they bump other blog entries down the list. And the general dynamic of this local blogosphere seem very different to what I´m used to. So perhaps this is simply not the place, it was only meant to be temporary until the website goes live anyway. I assumed people just followed their favorite blogs by other functionalities of this site and weren´t too concerned with that - with the lack of stickied guidelines in mind.

It´s no problem however! If this the official opinion of the moderators of this section I will simply adjust the format of this blog accordingly!

Edit: I only meant to practice my writing in english a little bit before the official launch, I didn´t mean for my blogging to be an annoyance in anyones day who isn´t a fan. That´s obviously going to have to change effective immidiately.

Hm. Maybe this should be in website feedback if it's to do with moderation? In any event, I'm not aware of any official policy with blogs, but there is I guess common practice on TL which is generally to not make a ton of separate blog posts all in the same day.

But 1 line 1 picture is definitely going to get closed especially from someone making a lot of blogs on the same day. From the sounds of things you are transitioning from a fairly empty website to a very busy website. The thing to consider is if everyone started creating multiple blog posts every day with no more than a picture and a line. Blogs would be flooded with hundreds of blogs daily (or more).

Moderation is more hands off in blogs, but at some point, even blogs have standards. TL tends to error on the side of quality over quantity when creating new threads.

Thank you for the much clearer response! I´ll stick with what seems to be the more standard 1-2 entries per day at most from now on and adapt the content as I go along with future feedback.

From what I gather from your post you´re taking a very clear stance on what I usually refer to as "personal entertainment"-type blog posts. Typically common practice for various "personalities" to mix in with their usual content. If I knew your stance on this I would have changed the format much sooner. Or rather, would have retought the blog entirely from the start. I have a much clearer picture of what might fly as a both personal and generally appreciated blog in this section now.

So perhaps you´re right that, at least this part, should be in website feedback - I´ll go there and reference this post. A little sticky with just a few paragraphs like that and maybe some other "good to keep in mind" things like I saw in a couple other "Are there any guidelines?"-thread would be super helpful for us newcomer to this part of the site!

I think TL searches for a balance from all its community members. If you want to just post your blog entries and words and purely looking for feedback, then I don't think there is a problem.

If you want to do that while referencing everyone back to your off-site blog area, then of course Team Liquid asks for just more from you as a person, than just staying in the corner periodically reminding everyone you have a blog and words of wisdom.

If you're an avid reader, then I hope you can also become an avid conversationalist amongst the many parts of the forums and their topics. TL is pretty lenient with off-site referencing to blogs or other sites, but they also expect the minimum from you as a person a part of this community, priviledged to use these well-moderated forums.

Hope this helps.

The problem I think Chill have, and to be fair I have no clue, is that you ONLY provide content to TL through you blog which is also used to promote you own blogsite. So basicly all you do is promote your blog.

I'm not saying you should post elsewhere for the sake of posting but from the looks of an outside you aren't really engaged in TL.net besides trying to promote your blog.

Then I have been misinformed and I apologize <3

I´ll be making a post to hopefully get some feedback on the new blog format before I start adding content in the days to come. Just to make sure it fits this section without annoying any members of this great community. But I think I have a pretty good idea how to go about things now.
