Well, here we go again. Another day at the greatest Starcraft website in existence. I'm quite sure today will be full of insightful, well thought out and interesting discussions. Heh.
Might as well start in the strategy forum. That's the biggest garbage dump this site has. Oh, wait a second I need to see the over/under today. Twenty five threads that will need deleting, and/or bans from the OP? I'm soo taking the over on this. Kennegit is going to pay out his ass today.
So, what do we have here? Zerg crying thread, Zerg crying thread, Zerg crying thread. Terran crying thread? This has to be a joke or something. Blah blah blah Collosus too strong, blah blah blah Banelings, blah blah blah. What in the living hell? Is he serious? A Planetary Fortress should be able to lift off? For God's sake, why are kids huffing paint still? Back in my day, to be an idiot, we just smoked pot and watched South Park. I'll give him a two day banning, hoping science can devise a way to regrow brain cells in that ridiculously short amount of time.
"New Zerg opening? 14 Hatch 15 Hatch 17 Hatch 19 Pool: Viable?" Do people intentionally write moronic things just to piss me off? Perhaps we should revert the world of video games back to the 2600 where all they had was a little joystick and one button to press. Even then, people would claim the asteroids in Asteriods were OP.
Well, onward we go. Let's see if the General section has anything worthwhile.
Homosexual slur, homosexual slur, L2P, about fifty instances of the word “Grack or Gracken”, NASL conspiracy theories, Kelly hate, Artosis doesn't have the flu, he has Leprosy. Leprosy huh? Well, out of everything I've read today, that does seem the least insane. Finding a thread like that and it being the least insane? Remind me again why I do this? Good lord.
Interesting. A modest, yet informational thread title. It is organized, it has lots of paragraphs. Capital letters and periods are being used. A spoiler section which goes into greater detail and still very well organized. Graphics, charts, evidence and testing? Holy mother of Aiur, this is the best day all week! I don't give a crap if this thread is about milking cows. Spotlighted.
I think I'll head over to Blogs. Maybe a new Starcraft song has come out or something. Those are usually endlessly entertaining.
Team Liquid mods are Nazis and too harsh in their moderation. If I hadn't seen this exact same thread about seven thousand other times, that would probably upset me. If people only knew the crap that all the mods have to sift through every single day, they'd probably run screaming to the Neopets or Gaia forums to try and reestablish their grip on reality.
Another one of those idiotic “A something something Day or Life of something something” threads. This guy should really learn to write comedy. Testing out material Dane Cook would find as “C” team worthy and posting on TL is a pretty sad way to spend his time. At least he tries. I hear he's extremely handsome though.
Relationship advice hmm? Girlfriend cheated on you but you still love her. Must resist temptation to tell him to forgive her and reassure she isn't a stupid whore that won't keep doing it to him over and over, while almost certainly cheating on him with at least four times as many people he believes she has. No no, must be professional. I'll just shut my mouth and let all the nerd love pros handle this one.
I need to talk to Hot Bid and see about getting a word filter in place to change the word “Noob” to “Delightful Human Beings” or something. I think that word gets tossed around here more than “A” or “I” does.
Screw this, I'm sick of banning people . I'll just wait for Manifesto to show up. That guy destroys more accounts than a nuclear bomb destroys Drones. I'm going to take a nap. Someone get me up in time for the TSL Qualifiers. After those run, I'll have another fifteen hours of bans and threads to lock.
Living the dream.

Good read. But I would gladly trade a small portion of my soul to be a Team Liquid moderator or banling.

Being a TL moderator for an extended period of time would most certainly consume whatever portion of your soul was leftover.

But your husk is guaranteed to go to heaven if you become a TL mod. Souls are overrated anyway.

I suppose I could be talked into a larger portion :D
And Yes, It likely would consume the rest of my soul. I'd be willing to risk it ^^

Hahaha, oh man, that mspaint is so true. I wish we could just ban half the population or so. Reading SC2 threads makes my head want to explode.

Strat forum description is a total understatement.
Moderation is really no fun. Only rarely do you get to beat the crap out of some "tits or gtfo" idiot or ban tdot for the hundredth time. Most of the time it's closing terrible threads by people who write 5 lines of "omg why did I lose fuck terran" than watch their own replay.

I can completely understand where you're coming from... I was a moderator on a forum about 9 years ago, after which I promised myself I'd never do it again for any forum. I've turned down 3 offers since on other sites.
It's very time consuming to do the job well and you get next to no credit from the community at large, even though you're doing it for free to help the community. Heck, more often than not you just get flamed for your troubles.

I found an old photo of Chill as he prepped for another day of Moderating:

The 'report' button is all the moderation power that I require.
I fucking love that thing.

Strategy forum? Live report is even worse. Yesterday I can't watch GSL live so I have to rely on LR. I have to search like 3 pages for a single game update

Lol that picture just made my day. Picturing a Chill Tauren Chieftain saying that quote. Pretty fitting image I must say

Sorry Chill, but I had to give Mani Goku's spot. His power level is just too high.
Edit: HAha, Torte you are clearly the superior at this. Thats freaking hilarious

But I'm CapnAmerica... does that mean I'm supposed to be Chill's mod side or something?
This is more whack than wiggers in Wyoming.
