UPDATE: It's up! http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/512910-power-rank-lr-shitposting-power-rank
So after about 30 seconds of thought, I've decided that I should (for some reason) do the TL Power Rank for LR shitposting. I know some of you might be thinking "gee what waste of time," and for the most part, it isn't. WCS this past weekend in Montreal had 270 pages. This mostly game from about 10-ish people throughout the weekend all of whom had over 10k posts (give or take a few newer posters). With this in mind, and knowing that unlike DotA 2 (I'm just making shit up at this point), SC2 PROS AND CASTERS READ LR THREADS. And that gave the ~10 of us an idea: what about.. ranking the shitposters, to see which of us could influence a pro or a personality?
Here are the current nominations:
Poopi
Elentos
Shellshock
GumB
Ej_
penev
Cricketer12
Nerchio
Noonius
IntoTheheart
TheDougler
SetGuitarsToKill
[PkF] Wire
Heartland
Phredxor
The_Red_Viper
Makro
The_Templar
Bagration
The point of this blog is to set out the criteria. Bear in mind that this isn't actually fair or objective in any way. This isn't in any form of order, by the way:
1) post count. This is important due to the fact that if you get banned after 3k posts, you're probably not gonna get noticed by the pros or senpai. And you want senpai to notice you. I think. Never happened for me, but I'm entitled to speculate
2) likelihood of being completely offtopic during an LR session. This is important, because while Polt can snipe a nexus, we also need someone to talk about...
Apollo's hair? Rotti's beard? Nathanias's eyes? Power Rank?
Who cares, the point is that offtopic discussion is definitely a pre-requisite to shitposting; however:
3) ability to contribute to offtopic shitposting is also vital that the poster can add fuel to the fire to be considered a true shitposter
4) getting in trouble with the staff. Depending on how hard you go on LR threads, you might get into trouble. If this happens a lot, you might be... a shitposter.
5) and lastly, real website contributions make you less of a shitposter. If you have 100k posts but regularly contribute to lickypiddy, strategy forums, or just in general are a mod, your shitposting on LR threads easier to overlook because you might be doing other stuff
If you have any questions and want me to re-evaluate the criteria, please let me know.
ITH
Poll: Do you accept the criteriaYes (21) 91% No (1) 4% I'm not on this list! :( (pm me if that's the case) (1) 4% 23 total votes Your vote: Do you accept the criteria (Vote): Yes
(Vote): No
(Vote): I'm not on this list! :( (pm me if that's the case)
ALSO: THIS IS NOT A #passionthread

Also Poopi needs to be on this list desperately.
I accept the criteria because they make it so I'm not a tier 1 shitposter.

You should divide the list into 2 teams : Korean Elitists and Foreign Dreamers. Only people from the second team are trully shitposting on teamliquid

I didn't put you on this list on a whim, some of your supporters actually asked me to place you here.
And already give you the title.

I have Lickypiddy coins so I'm not a complete shitposter by default.

Let's put it this way: that doesn't preclude you from showing up. I definitely notice your unnaturally strong presence on LR threads, especially SPL ones.

Sure why not.
Here are some gems i like to discuss btw: Taeja and Mvp are overhyped (Taeja a lot, Mvp to a certain degree). Sc2 isn't as good as it could be, bw fanatics are the true shit posters, KT best KT, always argue about new articles when they come out instead of just saying "gj stuchiu / soularion / zealously / whoever, other esports are cool as well check it out! , etc

I average 50 posts a day but I make sure that not all of them are shitposts. Only the ones that matter most.

Yeah, 50 a day is significantly higher than most of us I think.

Why'd you have to be a shitposter to influence the pros. The guy in the LR that helped uThermal beat viOlet had like 50 posts.

I even beat Shellbot. And Templar doesn't have the passion to keep up anymore

It's just odds and probability. We don't care about quality content for this contest, and it's not like most of us produce tons of it. Only the two staff (The_Templar and shellshock) routinely write for this site, and the rest of us are just chillin' in LR threads.
edit: also it's not like I'm allowed to judge post quality anyway, since I am definitely a shitposter.
