The public note was out of date so it was taken down. We're still in the middle of discussing Idra's fan page. In the meantime, don't be dumb.

Just make Whole mod of the fanclub subforum, problem solved. Us IdrA supporters can take care of the trolls on our own if you'd let us.

The point is that theres a difference between a fan and a fanboy. Right now we have fanboys trying to dictate which topics are allowed and which aren't, and that's one sure way to make the fanclub completely irrelevant. i come to the fanclub to read positive notes about idra. what he has accomplished, what he is doing, future games, new cheerfuls, etc. not to hear random negative bullshit from bronze level players (and posters for that matter).
if you want to criticize and generally be negative, go elsewhere. start with the LR threads, you can enjoy like-minded people there.
am i ignoring that idra has been playing like absolute shit and i cringe when i watch my favorite player on GSL, etc. lately? no. i am well aware of that. but i dont need to read you say it in his fan club thread over and over.
and stop bashing whole, without him this fanclub thread would be utter shit. for all intents and purposes, its his thread. the guy has a serious stalking problem, and we love him for it. ;-)

Yeah, it's actually not a bad idea Many of us read pretty much every single post that's been made here, and I doubt we'd come to abuse the power somehow 
WHOLE FOR MOD IN IDRA FANCLUB

If the discussion about Idra's mental state doesn't belong here, I'm not sure where it belongs. A new thread would probably be closed. If it's been discussed before I don't know what to tell you. This thread is so massive that I do not think it is reasonable to tell people to "go back 50 pages where it was discussed last." Therefore I won't take action against people who talk about Idra's mental state in here, but I can't speak for other mods.
EDIT: my personal opinion is that banning all negative discussion about Idra would be a disaster. That's why my public note was so nuanced. However, as Falling said, the mods are discussing it.

umm here's an idea: how about we create a new thread that idra would actually read. this thread needs to be heavily moderated. this thread will be devoted to improving idra as a player. people will be allowed to post what they thought he did wrong and what could be improved after he plays a game and loses. Of course, idra would have to give his consent about such a thread and actually interact with people from time to time. There's a good chance he'll say no but we have to try.

No way idra wants to read what random players think he needs to do better.

That's just not practical. There are coaches for that. Fans are fans, most are ignorant to many things that progamers have to take into account, both in and out of the game. If you really want to help Idra, be his fan.

there are two issues that bother me a lot in this fanclub. first are those seemingly intelligent debates but contributes nothing to the fanclub. (eg. a few pages before, people began debating whether grubby is a top foreigner) Then some were comparing idra vs stephano, based upon some tournaments results. But let's be very honest here, statistics aren't used like that, there are too many variables to put in than just say player 1 got gold in tournament a, player one is better.
the second issue is the seriously annoying player who judge idra. they are constantly repeating the same thing over and over again since a few hundred pages ago. They shut up whenever idra gets on a winning steak but then rise up again when idra lose a game or in a slump and claimed his style no longer works and needs "more variety in his play style". a fanclub is supposed to show appreciation and support from the community, not critics (especially if they aren't nearly anywhere as good as him) I mean what's next, are we going to see everyone giving score for idra's performance in a game?

The arrogance with which you post is really astounding. If you want to discuss Idra's mindset, something that has been discussed for the whole of the year, again, then feel free to do it somewhere else because it's already been brought up multiple times in the 1600 pages of this thread How is it that I'm the arrogant side here? I'm not the one trying to tell other posters that they cannot talk about certain things just because I feel its been done or is irrelevant to the fanclub. Imposing your own made-up rules on others? That's arrogant to me.
But meh, let the mods decide what to do with it. I'll save myself some mental strain by avoiding this "fanclub" from now on.

informed discussion is pretty good, but you always get the random trolls who pop in from time to time and disparage rather than constructively criticize Idra's "mental state." i mean he's been told to get a eye of tiger forever but that doesnt mean every time he leaves because a terran cloak banshee rushed him and he has no detection on ladder, someone has to blurt out "IDRA NEEDS TO BE MORE TENACIOUS ZOMG"... i mean he has had some egregious blunders (MMA/Huk) but those are out of our hands and sure discussing mindset is ok, but its just bait for non-constructive bashing in a fanclub
like i come to this fanclub to read news about idra, or see his funny quotes, or what new interview he did, not see two pages of discussion every time he plays anything and loses, be it ladder, weekly tourney, GSL, or MLG ... certainly the latter would be points for discussion, but at least some limits should be applied (and i wish common sense would work well, but it doesnt)

Well, let's say arrogance means what was in the previously enforced mod notes on top of the thread. One should not diss Idra. Talking about his skills, BO's, macro, or whatnot is (and was) allowed. What wasn't allowed was dissing him and there are constantly people dissing him by calling him "shit" or something. Taking down the note will increase that and I'd prefer to have to tread carefully in this thread (which is still less carefully than in most of TL) than have tons of trolls running rampant in this thread. And this, btw, constitutes a non-fanboy reason to prefer to limit discussion of Idra.
The second command was mucking up the thread. This discussion is borderline off-topic in this thread and yet you decide to call everyone that disagrees with you a fanboy. That's one way to muck up a thread, as all those people you offended immediately respond which creates a ton of useless content. Calling people backseat-mods isn't helping either.
I think you'll find plenty of discussion about Idra's faults being allowed in this fan club if you read back (not just 50 pages, mind you) and that also takes away your rationale to voice your dissatisfaction. What exactly is wrong at the moment? Do you plan to write something that's so much more impolite than the criticism that is already tolerated in this club? A monument to swearwords, perhaps? I think you'll find that being polite, not calling people names and elaborating on your criticisms will allow you to post anything you want in this thread.

Can someone direct me to a page/thread which contains information regarding upcoming games/tounaments IdrA will be playing in? If such a page exists...
