I think that a little discrimination is good for the forums it helps create some kind of respect..the join date idea is very good idea.. other forums discriminate harder.. for example they say you are a new full user instead of a full user which means (for the forums) you joined when the forums were more well known.. I think what you're describing is what is trying to be avoided. Asking dumb questions is often the only way to learn about a new subject. Especially one about which there is as little ready information as professional starcraft. (At least outside of Korea, though the Liquipedia has worked to remedy this.) Considering that this site is really the only option for newcomers to the professional starcraft scene, discriminating against newcomers really isn't much of an option. | ||

I am in support of join dates, as I think they better reflect a persons commitment to the community, and having total ban duration may end up being a disincentive for people to break the rules. Someone earlier mentioned how it might not be a bad thing to create a little bit of fear for new members so they don't crap on the forum, I think the ban duration might help do that. I also like the Main Forum idea just as a way to further identify with your particular niche in the SC community. This idea, sir Fontong, has my seal of approval. | ||

But I guess I'm a bigger bane on the community, and more of a noob, by being only registered a short time and having a much much lower post count. Like its been said already, time registered does not translate into time spent playing bw or time spent lurking on the site, its just another way for long time members to flex their superiority muscles over members who haven't been registered as long. I can remember coming here in 2005 for bw replays but I only registered a couple months ago. Also, I say get rid of post count completely. The quote above is a perfect example why. If you didn't notice he edited the quote. So it isn't a one word response. | ||

That way people like Konadora and Meeple, who spam like crazy, will be rightfully awarded a very high number to signify their importance to the community. + Show Spoiler [About TL Brawl] + For those of you who didn't get it, TL brawl assigned posters attributes based off of things like post count, posts per week, posts made in the last week, ect, maybe like join date too. Konadora raped face because he had a huge posts per week, post count, and a ridiculously large number of posts in the last week. | ||

I totally agree, a little discrimination but thats not what i was talking about. Its not a little, but a lot, and c`mon, you cant argue this one, TL discriminates very hard, its just not that visible, again, i dont care, since i made some dumb threads and posts when i was a newcomer, but a year ago i bacame a "pro" poster rofl and had to spam to a marine to be taken seriously, i cant make golden posts everytime, hell, one time is a shock, so i would like considerations on my dumb posts. Besides, how the hell can i became a good quality poster if it isnt by making mistakes? dumb mistakes are a perfect way to learn. But if i get bashed really hard by those mistakes i wouldnt post again, sometimes even mods are dragged by this philosophy, it makes users just avoid any type of serious posting, therefore making them movie thread posters in a sc forum. No offense here fellas  On June 16 2010 05:46 shimpoe wrote: Words cannot express how true this is. Changing it from one thing to another doesn't actually fix the problem, it just rewords it. Just the notion that you're automatically good at Starcraft if you post on forums a lot is completely laughable, and that's putting it nicely. It's just sad when you come to a "forum" and think, "Well I can't be validated in Starcraft until I raise my post count, so I guess I'll just go post in the movie threads until I'm considered a legitimate Starcraft player." Excuse me while I roll my eyes. Edit: the second part wasn't directed at you oo_xerox  Yes it was you filthy sewer rat !!! lol just kidding Anyway, some people are actually smart and search the users post in the search function, i remember where there was a heated discussion and some guy came and said "says the guy with 40 posts", and then his 2000+ were only in the k-pop thread. | ||

"This HAS to be a post sc2 user"->check->95% of the times I'm right. But some of the best users only have a few of posts (MDT anyone?), while some posters made over 1000 since the start of the beta. So about the post count... I don't care. well said | ||
