the way you presented this thread was just as bad Says the guy who's been here for 111 posts. The posting here has gone to shit. actually I made this account , cause my last one got banned since. So totally ive bin here since 2001/2002 And i keep my tone down nowadays, since that got me banned, so everything I say, I say in a controlled way  but yeah, ive seen some bad posts, just thought you kind of went on about it in a bad way, and like hmm, ur posts are godless, yeye but whatever, hf! Do you see the terrible irony and incredible self pwning in this comment? PS: Nvmplatapus, do you remember the trivia threads. After that, how can you POSSIBLY say you are a bad poster. PPS: It seems like threads like this come up from time to time, I've been here.. what about 2 years and I remember them when a lot of people that are considered "quality" posters were newb posters... Just a thought: ever wonder if 2 years from now BloodBath and eV will be making threads like this? Its funny to think about.
you are missing my point

All the people with 500+ posts think they are so fucking smart. Since when does the number of posts ON AN INTERNET FORUM in any way correlate to that posters intelligence. How can someone demand respect becase they have more posts than someone else? Stupidest fuckin shit I ever heard.

We should make a JAIL or something... everytime someone post a stupid post, they get to thrown in jail for 3 months, and they can only post in the Jail forum, which will be full of spam and stuff :p

meh, that would make you banned3x lol
You got a point, you really do... but think of it this way, if all them veterans are able to make it to 500+ posts with out getting banned, their posts must've been better than most, dont you agree?

I'm going to kind of agree with this, but it's kind of like a senority thing. In football, I was just a sophmore and I started, but all the seniors that were benchwarmers made me carry the balls to/from practice and do this and that b/c they are seniors. I guess it's pretty different to compare football to an internet forum, but I think that's the basic idea.

haha
it reminds me of the supposed MIT tradition where if you make a bad joke, they throw you in the shower; if its worse than bad, then they throw you in the pool, if its even worse than worse than bad, then they throw you in the river, and finally if its the worst joke ever they throw you in the ocean
edit:
so i guess if it's a bad post, then you go to jail forum, worse than that, tempban, worse than that, permanent ban, worse than that, banned from the internet!
banned from the internet would be great...
meat needs to get to codin'

No, it only proves that they didn't post anything controversial enough to get banned. Nobody gets banned for making a stupid post (when I say stupid I mean literally stupid, not incoherent or evidently off topic for the sake of ruining the thread stupid). I'm not going to argue with you forever about what you consider to be a "better" post, but trust me, I'm right.

This is the type of attitude we don't need here. People who just want to start shit.
I dont give a flying fuck, nor do I give two shits if you want to start controversy or not.
Its a seniority thing, if you don't like it, go the fuck away.
If you know Baal, you would know controversy, he has around 5000 posts and hasnt been banned yet.

Just want to comment on why you're wrong. NO ONE READS THAT SECTION. This NEEDS to be seen, because idiocy is running rampant, and we need someone to fix this.

439.6 valid posts.
If you have actually read all of my posts, then I applaud you. I'd wager that about 75% of my posts are not total garbage, and are completely relevant to the topic. Just as this post here is relevant to the topic I started.

No one is demanding respect for post count. People have been here with 500 posts for two years. MoltkeWardking or whatever the fuck his name is actually signed up back in late '02 or early '03, but only recently started posting.
No one said anything about post count. It's the time they've been here, and their quality of posting, which sucks. Not all of them, but BloodBath, the eV guys, and a couple others.

Click on the forum button at the top, and website feedback is at the bottom of the page it brings up, right above the "closed" forum

edit: Re: Banned2x
IronMentality manages to post things that most diagree with and he does not get banned.
It's little pisses like you who come to a forum and think they are better than everyone without ever engaging anyone that are the ones that are in reality stupid. We aren't saying that more posts means you are smarter, we are talking about the sudden influx of shitfucks (who of course have less posts) that we have been having lately. You took the opportunity to give your (probably standard) speech.

Whoa, buddy. Use the quote button. That's very confusing.
The best way to get banned here, when mods are paying attention, is to attack the "veterans," attack the mods, be fucking retarded, or spam. So far, all of that is happening, and no banning is taking place.
Also, I think MoltkeWarding's post was being sarcastic.

I edited it.
Since his name is Banned2x, I wonder who he was before (or if he just chose that name to sound like he has been here before).

You know, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say a few things that I would previously have been a little wary about.
Every forum is going to have morons, this is unavoidable. TLnet's percentage of moron posters has gone up we can all agree on this yes?
Can we also agree that theoretically, if you did not know anyone here and didn't know how many posts he had you could ' safely ' assume that everyone is a potential retard and or genius?
Now we don't have that and we know the personalities of many people on this forum and how many posts they have. Let's take FA for example [ sorry to put you on the spot ]
He has over 10k posts. That's the most on this site I'm quite sure [ even more than the creators ] and his posting spree still continues today. Now if you look at FA's profile he posts a shitload:
Total Posts 13451
Average Posts Per Day 13.69
Average Posts Per Week 95.83
Posts made in the last week 327
The fact is, he isn't banned. And people like him aren't banned. Let me tell you about FA, he is a good guy, knowledgeable about Broodwar, friendly, and open-minded. My point is post count would not matter if he were put back to 0 and some noob got into a thread with him. FA would still be friendly, open-minded, and have a strong knowledge about broodwar. Therefore the post argument seems to be pretty valid. However, all of this has been formulated from the fact that he has 10k posts and he is still here thereby proving that arguing ' Post count has nothing to do with anything ' is completely obsolete.
I don't believe in luck but I think it's just a bad phase that we are getting all these ' new morons ' at our forums. The only thing we can do is deal with what we are given. This, I blame on the staff. I do not believe the staff has taken enough and/or correct level of action to adjust this atrocity. TLnet is fun and I love pressing that bookmark on FireFox many times a day just to read what's going on. However, that feeling is coming less and less.
Since the advent of this thread I've gotten 3+pms with people telling me that they agree and here's the basic feel of my earlier post:
I won't use names but I think we can separate the mods into two different categories. Let's use the terms ' Fun Admins ' and ' Serious Admins '
Fun admins post alot, they post just like anybody else and may as well not even have red font. They mingle with the every day people and get to know people on a personal basis. They share experiences, they make more ' useless ' posts than the serious admins, however if needed they do their job. To me though, they don't seem very motivated to do their job. One key thing that I think the Fun Admins all have in common is that they are all old friends or irl friends. They have known each other for quite a while.
Then there are the Serious Admins. These are ones that rarely or occassionally post. They might ghost around and read the topics but they only post when completely necessary. [GENERALLY], the serious admins seem more motivated to do their job and are glad to help fix out disputes, whether it be between members or about a topic. Everyone listens when these admins posts, and the majority agrees.
It's up to you who the fun and serious admins are to you. Me, I already have each admin categorized. I'm just saying that if there is one definitive way to help stop the degradation of these forums it's up to the mods. Maybe more mods is in order, perhaps better judgement by the current mods is in order, perhaps I need a ban. Whatever it is, as a community we need to get our shit together. Because we don't need more Fun Admins, friends of friends. We need serious people who will get shit done, whether that's through sacrifice or pleasure.

Quality of new posters are usually good. A new poster's quality can be determined by its texture and sheen. If the poster's scratched or ripped, then you should return the poster and exchange it for another one or get a refund.
