EPTLong ago the world had shattered into pieces as I rushed my battery to full power and charged into the enemy main. I thought I was a freaking super hero and yet all I was..... all I was...... was a battle.net scrub. I got rejected from Brood War Strategy because of my cheese rush that I thought was invincible. Little did I know that my all powerful cheese rush had only an itty bitty living space in the world called Team Liquid. Nor did I realize that I had created a metaphor about my self with the post. I rushed easily countered cheese posts that I thought were great posts at the time when I had given little Effort.
Long ago when I had not yet mined any of that there was, is, and ever will be of guidelines to pro posting. When I had yet to look at my post a second time before posting. Before I even considered who may be insulted and how my image may be damaged, possibly forever. Before I was banned from any blogs, known of the ability to ban from blogs, or known how the rank system worked at all. Before I even knew of the existence of SCII. Before I even knew of a build to Proxy Hatch rushing. Before I had applied the basics and began looking back often and compared current posts with past ones and tryed my hardest not to make the same mistakes and become the fool again.
Long ago before it all appeared to me I had yet to face palm nor see the difference between a good post and a bad post. All I saw was length differences. Fail was near, and fail I did. I ticked off Chill, Mani, and many others, both well known, and not so well known. I was warned by the great ones not to continue my old ways or my end would be nearer than I at first thought. I heeded their warnings, bans, and teachings. However, I had awaken a new man, cleaned myself, and gotten back into posting, this time without angering all that Team Liquid had to offer, and thus without losing the greatness that is Team Liquid.
Long ago I had much to learn and now I still have even more to learn through Team Liquid but I shall advise the new, blog the blog, laugh the laugh, and most importantly, post the pro post.
-Do not follow in my past foot steps, rather look at yourself and your posting and become a whole new man.
-Do not ignore warnings given by fellow members or higher ups, let alone the TL.net Bot.
-Do not get temp banned for if you do it is a sign you need to clean yourself up and study up on posting before you are banned forever.
-warnings and temp bans are meant to be signals of the need to learn from your mistakes and improve your posting.
-Do not post needlessly, some times it is actually better to PM when the post is actually only meant for one person.
-Deleting posts is good, when you have begun deleting typed up posts before hitting "Post" you know that you are starting to learn the ways of The Pro Poster.
-In no way do I consider myself a Pro Poster yet but I aspire to become one eventually.
-Search TL.net for guidelines, warnings, Disneylands,etc., for advice.
-This brings me to the need to use the search! If you are making a new topic use it to check that it wasn't already brought up. If making a new post consider using it to make your post even stronger with links to sources on TL.net supporting a view you have over an issue(make sure it is applicable first!!!)
-Never give up.
-You can ask to be banned by request if you have something that will force you to rush your posting, an exam to study for, etc. This can be very useful, especially if you feel like you need a little time off before posting any more.
-May this be of help to all.
