I agree with a lot of this, especially point #2 and #10. I have felt in the past that people that ask for others to be banned is almost their own way of trying to show their own "superiority" and trying to prove themselves. I do disagree with #9 however...


9*. Lurking for a few weeks or a couple of months until you the feel for the forum is fine, but lurking for years just makes you a selfish member.

i.e. There is no good reason to lurk for months on end; either you are a selfish prick, and are here just to take, or a coward too afraid to post.. also not posting to "get back at teamliquid" just makes you a passive-aggressive lamer. If you are going to spend time here, participate, add, share. No matter the excuse there is got to be something good in you worth sharing. *obvious handicaps excluded (physical and virtual, like getting banned etc.. ).


I can definitely see your point, saying that others basically going to this site for 6 years and barely posting (as have I) is unacceptable because you are basically being someone that doesn't contribute while others take their time to post. You do have to look at the other side of things though...

First of all, just by entering this site you are contributing (you see that Google ad space there? I am pretty sure that TLNet gets more money the more people that visit their site from that ad space, and that that ad space pays a LOT (if not all) for this site... correct me if I am wrong though ).

I disagree with your premise that people are being selfish if they don't post here though. It's kind of like as if you went to a dinner table, and someone who was maybe shy, and kept to themselves, was quiet during most of the dinner talk, and then you saying they're selfish. They're probably not selfish, just quiet. Sure these people might be "coward[s] that are too afraid to post," but what does that matter? Sure they might "feed" off of your contributions to this forum by only ever taking the time to read them and nothing more, but posting good posts is a reward in itself: You get a lot of community respect, you meet new people and make new friends, and you get the lounge after a while of posting

I think, in fact, that a lot of people here could use a good ol' "does what I am about to say really matter?" or "will what I am about to say really make a difference to the topic?" and if it doesn't, then don't post it. Our forums would be a lot cleaner then, and would be much easier for the moderators I'm sure T_T. There's way too many one liners, and stupid posts being posted on these forums. If anything, the people that are selfish are the ones that make these posts in attempt to get the attention and community respect I was referring to earlier, and if you want one example: Lastshadow. Do you want really every poster to be like him?

This is a good post, I missed it first time around.
I myself adhere to all/most of its advises from the start and I do really try to rescue threads and save the diversities.
lately I've been posting on Teamfortress2 forum, and unfortunately, I feel that forum is a much better place than this one where people actually think before posting, and are more mannered instead of hostile.
Life is run, it is dance, it is fast, passionate and BAM!, you dance and sing and booze while you can for now is the time and time is mine. Smile and laugh when still can for now is the time and soon you die!

ColdLava I understand your points about #9, but they are not enough in my humble opinion - visiting the site and making a few posts per year is just not enough - staying for the most part silent during 6 years of free dinners is just not manner man. For me it's not just a site, it's also a community. It would be the difference between dinner at home with friends and people you know with that of a homeless Dinner, were people come and go, most don't know each other and all you hear is coughing, the sound of forks and plates. : ) -

Just following a link to this blog, and I feel a bit bad about bumping it as it obivously doesn't really add anything useful to what is currently stated in the rules (with it being four years old). Still, I just wanted to set things straight about lurkers, where I feel the advice or imperative provided by Physician is a bit misguided.

ColdLava made part of my point already. Be lurking and not posting when you don't feel it's worthwhile, you will often be doing us a favour. For the love of God - we don't want people to post when they don't feel like it. Don't encourage this - doing so, you wouldn't really have thought it through. Just look at all the complaining from old members during the influx of people when Starcraft 2 came around. While the site had established a community of people who came back because they liked the site, found a role with the site and had become fully part of the culture here, suddenly it become filled with people who posted randomly without all this knowledge and experience. This meant that the quality of posting generally fell, at least if you believe many of the regulars voicing their concerns over this. Many of the people who have stuck around since then have gotten used to what's required of them and how they can best contribute.

So, many people posting isn't necessarily a good thing. If all topics end up being 90 pages that you don't feel like reading because they are full with one-liners, stupid jokes, thoughtless comments, off-topic remarks, then it doesn't make these forums any better. However, if people only post when it's really worthwhile, then the more visiting to the site, the more potential for it to be great. A big part of Teamliquid's appeal is that whatever is discussed or talked about here has the attention of many thousand people from countries all over the world, of people of all kind. All the people viewing the site, not yet having made their first comment, still contribute to this. They make Teamliquid important, make it significant, and they have the chance of joining in whenever they feel it's relevant. Some of the best posts I've seen here are by so-called "lurkers", who after a few years find something that urges them to post and they make a long, thoughtful and elaborate post about it.

No doubt that if this place was deserted, we would be more desperate for people to join in more frequently. However, I have frequented these forums since 2003 and I don't ever remember them being deserted, so I doubt this could have been what prompted Physician's "rule" (rather, from the sound of it, it is his attempt at establishing a communal feeling similar to a physical one on the internet).
I am not sure what to say
