Now that there are a whole load of new people getting into this Starcraft community, a very signifcant number of which coming from communities such as DotA, Warcraft, Command&Conquer, etc., I'm noticing that everybody is also bringing their cultures and attitudes along with them... namely their bad attitudes.
I've been lurking here since 2003 and I know that we have our own version of trolls and whatnot... but I think that when you compare to the other communities, we're pretty tame and conservative. That's just the opinion I've gotten over the years. I could be wrong.
I'm curious to know how you guys think we should handle those bad-mannered people who come here from places like DotA and WC3 and C&C, if at all. Since there are many of them, they might socially change the way we do business here, if you know what I mean.

well for once we can troll them smartly 
|

Worst thing by far is the retarded vocabulary people use from other games. Perhaps an autofilter or spell check or something could help that.
|
Oh c'mon... climb down from your ivory tower. People are people. There are jerks in every community, and the reason TL tends to be more civil is due to the strict rules and good moderation.
Those same rules apply to newcomers.
Has nothing to do with SC players being more civil than other gamers.
Well, except Xbox Live jerks... but we know none of them come here 
|
I have noticed an increasing number of new posters posting... low-quality posts...
But it hasn't become anything significant enough to "socially change the way we do business here," as you put it.

Agreed :0

Yeah -- I have every confidence in our moderators and all that jazz, but we can't be sure that all of those new people will rely on this community when establishing this new StarCraft game as an eSport. They can just make their own community and develop their own culture, saying that what we have here is old and outdated.
I'm watching this GLHF.tv broadcast now, and I see nothing but trolls from WC3, CNC, and DotA doing their usual hateful criticism of the commentators and I'm just like "what the hell? this is supposed to be starcraft..." and all of a sudden, I'm the minority and a noob. I just doesn't make any sense.
edit - @synapse: Obviously it doesn't seem that way now, but I'm looking into the [relatively speaking] near-future here as the game becomes more popular, and after the beta is over and the game is finished... you see where I'm going with this thought?

Is this just an ironic troll post to make us non-sc players feel unwelcome?
|
If they cannot comply to TL rules, then they should just keep out.
|
No dude I'm not trying to troll here — I've followed TL and SC for a long time and I'm seeing these foreigners come in with their bm attitudes and I just don't want to see what we have here become what they are.
|
I've never played sc. I've played wc3 for over 5 years and I wouldn't consider myself as being bm or ruining your community.
It's frustrating when some sc players group ALL wc3 players together to suggest we're all bad mannered and low skilled.
|
I'm not saying that all foreigners are bad... I don't think I ever said that here. I'm just saying that there are an awful lot of them who are bad-mannered that are outside of this community and who will, in the future at least, be trying to play bigger roles in the community that we have, at least up until this point in this almost 10-year history.

Agreed.
If you want to go by stereotypes, there are a ton of bad mannered SC players as well.
Team Liquid is a good community, it has nothing to do with the game they play.

Man, when did the TL community get so xenophobic? Oh noes, more FANS will destroy the purity of our race- err community!
|
Hi I'm a wc3 player, nice to meet you!

lol i was just thinking that.
TL already has a huge rep for being very elitist (which is fine imo)
|
as a long time lurker
i have to admit this thread is a little harsh.
i think we should welcome others with open arms and should they choose to stay they WILL eventually conform to our rules
that said by saying that our community in general will deteriorate is going overboard
as long as the original TLers remember their manners and are willing to show new commers how things are here
there should be no problem.
so to those who feel unwelcome please dont

I think these forums are very reasonably maintained - i.e. insta ban when you do something stupid
|
For a game like starcraft not unreasonable to think there's a higher quality of people as it's followers. People have been playing the game for a decade so the crowd is older and it's extraordinarily hard to play game that takes a lot of effort. Not something a lot bm kids can handle. sc2 is a easier game to play and the people who aren't bw players have some questionable tastes to begin with...

TL is gonna be like America.
A huge melting pot of many different communities.
Pretty awesome that we're gonna get a bunch more new people.
