Is it possible to amend the guidelines for [H] threads? I'm wondering if we can require that players post their league and rating in addition to a replay. League and rating are useful because it makes it much easier to target advice.

"Even when your thread does not follow these rules here at all, if it's still a well written OP it will stay. We will always reward effort put into our forums."

So if i write an OP about how terran is imba that can be seen to have alot of effort put into it, does that mean it will stay?

No. This is a strategy forum, any balance discussion has no place here. Common sense please.

back to topic:
I use hallucinated units (doesn't matter as long as they damage ground) to hid the actions of DTs. Keeps the opponent guessing longer so they don't scan / get detectors.

I think it should be a requirement as of 1.2 that everyone who claims to be in masters league links their bnet profile

We'll see what happens. If Master will just be the new Diamond then there is no point in identifying master league posters.

Would it be possible to add [L] to the list of thread topic identifiers?

[L] - Low-level. Include this if your topic focuses on lower level play.

It would of course be self-regulated but could be loosely defined as anything below mid-diamond or possibly just plat and below.


I think it's great to help lower-level players when they post (and I myself am no pro), but it's frustrating to open seven or eight topics in a row some days and read about some build/guide/help for a silver player when I'm looking for higher level discussions. (And I don't mean that in any elitist way. It's just for the sake of assisting in time management.)


Or perhaps [A]? - advanced. for discussions of higher-level play.


Just some thoughts. It gets a bit dichotomous in this forum sometimes.

Hello guys im atm 2200 Terran player and can't win versus Protoss.

I've been strugling for a while now, well not just stuggling, ive been losing 95% of my TvP matches recently.

Feels like i have been trying mostly every build, but whatever i do it seems to be a huge weakness to it. And if Protoss plays standard i anyways lose in mid or lategame.


I've been adding some replays of my usual game style which clearly not working atm.

(u need to copy whole line dnu why it is wierd.)
1. Is Stepps which i made 3rax expand while pushing, Biglose with scouting..
http://data.fuskbugg.se/dipdip/TvP DT + BIG ARMY WTF.SC2Replay
2. Losing on delta
http://data.fuskbugg.se/dipdip/_Delta Quadrant.SC2Replay
3. Losing LT
http://data.fuskbugg.se/dipdip/___Lost Temple (2).SC2Replay
4. Winnig 4 once. with banshee opening, soo if protoss didnt fast expand id prob lose anyway lol.
http://data.fuskbugg.se/dipdip/Metalopolis (4).SC2Replay

There is some replays of my standard games and its clearly not working, i would really appriciate some advice and guideness soo i can evolve in my builds, macro and micro.

What is your standard build TvP and how do they work out (What do they lose to etc..)

Might you consider renaming this thread to emphasize the importance of reading it before posting anything? I believe there also is a vbulletin mod that exists where you can force someone who hasn't posted in a section before to read/agree that they have read a certain thread first.

Some days it seems like the guidelines are batting about 40%

When you are making a thread in SC2 Strategy you are reminded of these guidelines and you have to confirm you read them, so that is already in place.

What name would you suggest for the thread?

Ah, I thought so but couldn't remember. I guess it needs more humungous bold and red letters.

Maybe like "PLEASE READ THIS" or "READ BEFORE POSTING" or something equally annoying?

There are an awful lot of threads with titles like "PvT: I just can't do it". Maybe make it a rule that that's too vague of a topic to have a thread on. If you're going to post a thread you should really have some issue you want people to focus on, and that issue should be in the title. Otherwise you should probably just go read some guides.

Attaching replay should just become completely mandatory or instant closed thread. Slap on the wrist as necessary.

Please report the thread (PM a moderator) when you see them. They have indeed no place here.

Answer
+ Show Spoiler +
[L] Low Level

You know you aren't a star player and you need help with fundamentals

Use the [L] tag if you are still learning the basics of the game and if you have fundamental problems / questions. There is no clear cut line where "Low Level" starts - it's up to you. Do you feel you need input from a top tier player, or are you still working on mechanics? Judge your own skill.
Please note that making a [L] thread does not exclude you from obeying the rest of these guidelines or allows you to ask stupid questions.



And the answer can also be found in the OP of this very thread.
Pain, like any other emotion, can be turned off. // If there can be no victory, then I shall fight forever.
