(In response to the talk about the tournaments category).
I feel that event OPs should look professional and look like a lot of thought has been put into them. Teamliquid, as a news site, needs this to step further into this e-sports journalism. The news section has already been thoroughly polished by staff, but some event OPs just look bad.
I understand that, being foreigners, we cannot do much except photoshop and formatting. We simply don't have the luxury of understand Korean and going to the live events. However, I try and add meaningful pictures, statistics, and formatting. At the very least, we can make those threads look neat.

5-6. Most of my posts are short and any "bad" ones are usually not that bad in context. Looking back at my posts they are usual helpful but brief. Not a huge contributor imo.
|
6. I post a lot of one-liners but I don't insult and I do explain rather than dismiss when I'm trying to argue something. I don't really contribute much but I don't think I'm a detrimental factor either so I don't think I deserve a ban.

I just looked at my last months posts and it's pretty sad.
But apart from the pgl live reports (which I enjoyed very much), and the mafia game I count ~30 posts last month, none of them very good.
I'm generally nice to people though.
I'll say 5

Question: In which forums is quality the most important to the site keepers? Maybe you could rate them in order. Without News/Featured Threads/Replays Tournaments Broodwar Strategy/SC2 - cannot differ they both are therorycrafting in general General Sport and Games Blogs  I disagree, you can tell the quality of the poster by the quality of his blog imo Of course there are exceptions, but its always a good sign of the poster I disagree in a different way. Tournaments imho should have informative and quality filled posts until the games start perhaps. After that I'd expect things to lighten up quite a bit. I'd hope that people cheer for starcraft games in a similar way to how I would cheer my favorite hockey team or player. Lots of criticism, praise, etc for an all around energy filled thread. On the other hand Strategy/SC2 deserve to be near or at the top. Most of the time people are either posting community use full information in these forums, or asking for help. In either event the "OP" and the posts following suit should have quality emphasized. (I guess I'm writing this to try and fix my flaws) Strategy/SC2: For the reasons I previously mentioned. General: Not the typical general forum found on most sites, and not the same general thread I think it used to be. Containing a lot of world news or threads such as this one. The tone in here has become more serious. Broodwar: If you play broodWar this forum seems more like a hang out of sorts. Filled full of geeky little gems I personally cant wait to read. Tournaments: For the reasons I previously mentioned. Sport and Games: This is a thread I almost never venture into and have no right to talk about. Blogs: Although I agree with "you can tell the quality of the poster by the quality of his blog" I still think that a blog should allow uncriticized freedom from scrutiny so long as it's not harmless. imho tournaments are easily the least respectable places on this forum.. generally the ops are pretty good, not always but generally.. and after that things just become 1 line frenzys with one person reproting and 50 people going "go flash!" "bisu build" etc
While the people who post comments to blogs generally aren't of the highest quality, the blogger themselves give an indication as to how they post
e.g haji's spam blogs, and hajis rather longwinded insightful blogs; match perfectly to his posting habits

6-7
I try to read and leave it at that if I don't have anything good to add with a post.
I also try to avoid one liners except in hype threads etc, i.e. "Tushin fighting!"
Some posts I'm proud of, some posts I aint, but I always try to preview them before posting.
survive?

4 I guess...I'm more of a reader.

Evaluating ourselves? Cool, well under the TL.net constitution I'd probably say a 5.2 because I've been posting a lot for the last couple of weeks or so because I've been sick. Many of which are short, to the point, general information in some cases to help people out and sometimes add a lil' humour. Mafia thread is always fun
|
i'd rate myself as 4.5
i usually only really contribute in the live report threads. most of my other posts are one-liners/really short.

in the past like 8+ probably, last month i only made a few posts and they were worthless posts so probably like 3 or 4

~5, some helpful posts, some thank-you posts, some one-liners, some useless posts. Not insulting ppl, not being negative. More of a reader.

When I get into flamewars(webdesign, hacks, ...) or spamming about 6, else probably 8. Mostly technical/support posts.

a posting scale
well that's cute
|
probably a 5 because i have tons of one liners 
|
all my recent posts are explaining why people are stupid in the sc2 forum
where does that rank?
|
I'd say about 4-5, lately it feels like i've only posted in the Liquibet section and those posts tend to be pretty short. But hey, at least i'm not participating in the postco.. erm... Mafia game! 
Am i gonna get assimilated?

I'd say a 6 IdrA because you've been arguing almost the same old thing with the same old people time after time. Your arguments might be good, but hell we all know where it is going to go and there are too many trolls there. They don't want to see it from your side of things, so I'd just let it go for the time being.

10 ez, progamer status outranks everthing

Dunno, probably a 6. I proofread DJEtterStyle's Lomo poem. Tons of one-liners, especially in the past two or three weeks. I dunno, I feel like the kind of posts to which I prefer (basically ones that either resemble or are TLFEs) to give longer, well-thought-out responses have sort of dried up recently.

better idea: give me a 10 and ban all of them
