Do you understand what metagame means? If so, please expand this thought.

A simple example would be mutalisk openings ZvT. I am aware that Zergs use mutalisks to influence the Terran's timing, when he pushes, when he expands etc all by moving them around to create threat and get in the Terran players head. But I'm not aware of how they know when to do what and why.

well, we don't prevent low post count people from posting links, or from anything else on tl.net. On here, the punishment for a low post count user should be the same as a high post count user if the posts are equally bad.

If a low post count user is making bad edits, or something similar, the punishment should be equal to that of a high post count user. Same philosophy.

Liquipedia has been a project that has been worked on by Teamliquid for the past 20 months.

well, yes the punishment should be just as bad as high post members if the post is bad. but that wasn't what i was getting at.

say in about a month or 2 after it becomes accessible, TL wiki is fully operational and there's been loads of nice contributions to the wiki, and everybody on TL's and people who lurk TL are happy. but say there's a group of people who've been influenced by
this fool or for whatever reason really really hate TL. It would be as easy as simply registering a new ID on TL, and since it's accessible to everyone, after several minutes, several pages are replaced with "ROFLFUCKINGTLNOOBS. GET THE FECK OUT", and everyone's displeased and readers will have to wait until the proper content is back up (probably spending the time by seeing how fast the haters get banned)

Now, I'm assuming that the mods have already thought about this and implemented a system where they can just retrieve the old content easily and repost it, and it'd be over in a couple of minutes.But it'd still be nice if that situation can be avoided in the first place.

That's not what metagame means. I think that's just more of a history of the matchup. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding you.
