Months ago this site was my favourite and I used to enjoy coming here and reading every thread and participating where I could. Nowadays, I only visit this site because I have nothing better to do for the most part. It's been a while since I could no longer stand the stupidity radiating from a great deal of posts and could no longer commit myself to at least checking out every new thread.
Often I find myself typing up a response then saying fuck it, then closing my browser window and going off to do something different.
Some posters irk me particularly badly. CamooT, dsh, and haduken come immediately to mind. However, their stupidity is in the very least limited to the threads about China. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, they take any criticism on their homeland as a direct insult. ihatett is another poster that I find particularly annoying to have around. I don't see that much of a problem with BloodBath. I did see his 20 post spree in the screenshot thread, but honestly, who cares? It's not as if his 20 screenshots would have been any shorter if in one post. Sure, some of his posts are annoying, but nothing compared to the four posters i listed previously. Those guys do however, contribute to the discussion, however retardedly they do it. I guess that's the difference between them and BloodBath (Eye-loser, for those who remember, I think he was banned twice in the past)
I am not familiar with the adventures of the eV members.
Originally, I read this thread name as 'Quality of news posters,' so I was expecting you to complain about the recent lack of league coverage and the poor quality of news that is released. This is another part of the reason that this site no longer interests me as much as it did.
I agree with SwedishHero that the way you presented this topic is bad. If you wanted to post on the quality of the new posters, then go ahead. If you want to request that BloodBath and the eV guys be banned, then do it in the support forums or in a PM.
On a side note, post count isn't related to post quality, rather to one's abilities to avoid annoying the admin. I see myself as an example of this. Chibi would be the exception.
I'm sorry if my post is poorly written and has no point other than being meaninglessly long.

GroT, take a look at MvP[eV] and BloodBath, please.
the first is now banned, the latter was already warned by nazgul

also people, you can't expect everyone you don't like to get banned
there's a few people I can't stand and yet I don't ban them because they aren't doing anything wrong, they just happen to annoy me
I have the feeling that's the case for a lot of your "complaints"

nvnplatypus: "I don't think when a person joined is indicative of how good their posts are. For instance, I've been posting here for quite a while and my posts suck."
Big poster, not an idiot.
ihatett(1895 posts): "frozenarbiter sucks at broodwar and he doesn't have enough posts"
Profile-> "I love Protoss because it is tough and straight. Protoss is the race for men."
Big poster, but a fuckin idiot.
cataclysmic(393 posts): :"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."
In football it is very different, and I'm not going to go into detail because theres so many of them. Think of it this way, if these forums were a real life discussion and some 10 year old was yelling at you IRL, would you respect him because he had gotten in over 1,000+ arguments/debates previously? Didn't think so.
MoltkeWarding(1205 posts): "The website has a feedback forum? Link?"
1200+ posts and he dosen't know theres a forum feedback link. Some veteran poster.
ihatett(1895 posts): "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."
Proves my point in the middle of the quotation...
I could go on but I wont, I'll see you on banned4x

No, I don't "like" that random letters guy, but I don't think he should be banned. He's a moron, but that doesn't mean I should ban him. There's just a lot of really stupid posters coming in now, and that's what gets me.

You seem to take our political stance as a personal affront. Go ahead, you might as well just ban all chinese nationalists because you hate our stubborness so much. If anything, your post demonstrates that what qualifies as 'quality' posting is subjective  .

Had to come back because of this idiot.

Well to be fair the average Chinese nationalist has less than half the IQ of an average American nationalist so if retardation were one of the qualifications for banning it would be a good criteria.
BTW I'm not a veteran poster. I've only been regularly posting on and off for a few months here.

Btw, if you want to see an "experienced poster" being an idiot, just check the name of the person who made this topic.

You are correct sir. Here's a cookie for your effort.

All nationalists should be banned, because they are stupid. I dislike nationalism, and HATE blind nationalism. Actually, they should be kept around for a while, and if their views don't change at all, then they should be banned, because they're too thick to comprehend things.

It's not that, it's that you don't know what you're talking about. And you don't know how to back it up, and you bring up fights for no reason.
I'm Chinese, and your posts upset me to no end.

You do realize that you're the only one fighting your particular cause.
And thus nobody is listening to you.

I was answering this:
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).
Dumbass.

My take: lack of care for starcraft, which once was something that bound us all, is leading to the degeneration of this forum.
The forum still is good and will continue to be, for an indefinite amount of time. Maybe some new, good, known broodwar players should step up (or be allowed to step up) to work here, to bring more content, to give the site more authority in subject matter, to take initiative for improvement. Or maybe this site should shift focus or divide focus between starcraft and... probably poker. Without interesting features, that give the moderators/admins incentive to keep shit afloat, without some kind of glue that unifies the forumers ... shit's bound to fall apart.

ok on a more serious post, you should make an admin, despise the fact in a total son of a bitch im very fair, id never abuse of my power in a personal grudge and im not afraid to push the ban button.
ooooorrr you could make another Cyric-like admin and waste red nicks (nothring personal cyric)
1st section of Post I think is art and agree whole heartadly.
Second section is foolish:
DON'T YOU PEOPLE SEE!!!! The only way to make the forum like it once was is to KIDNAP Beyonder, tie him to a chair, put him in front pull his eyes open with metal wire (think Clockwork Orange style), and FORCE him to post constantly on Tl.net. Seriously, I think that the only logical explaination for the downswing of this forum is his absence.
Remember his amazing posts and topics?? What stellar example do the newbies have to aspire to.... not too many of them. Amazing posters these days are few and far between (I do not count myself among them, believe me). The only ones I can think of right off hand are BigBalls and FA.
Anyone know Bey's adress, I'll lead the kidnapping!

Sorry I even used the word nationalism in my earlier post. If you've read my recent posts re china, you'll know that I'm no patriot, either of the U.S. or china. moltke's and somuchbetter's angst regarding my concern over the country in which I spent a good half of my life is unreasonable, why wouldn't I be concerned about events in China? because i'm chinese, defending my own country becomes unreasonable and warrants a banning?
It's not that, it's that you don't know what you're talking about. And you don't know how to back it up, and you bring up fights for no reason.

Pot, meet kettle. You're not doing much better with the wealth of information you supposedly are. now i don't think you're a bad poster, but i'm really annoyed by your attitude on my previous thread regarding the registry of internet websites. you immediately labeled the thread as retarded, then produced absolutely nothing when a discussion (however remote from the OT) arose. i also SERIOUSLY don't understand why you flamed that thread when you made THIS thread:
http://teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=27066
please understand that living in china and or being chinese doesn't make you immediately qualified to label others as uninformed.

No, nationalism does. Defending your country for no reason should be bannable. I can't think of any examples, but like a lot of Americans (IronMentality) defend America to death, like we are infallible, but we aren't. They should be banned, because they are retarded. To represent a different viewpoint is one thing, to act as if your country can do no wrong is another, and shouldn't be tolerated.

Why don't you stop crying about the quality of new posters, because this thread is a waste of time. Just because they annoy you doesn't mean ban them. I agree some need to be, but seriously cry a fuckig river, go make some contributive posts elsewhere.
