So you want 1 person to write a 10 page essay on how to counter mech play from T as Z?
If that one person knows what he's talking about, provides replays, and covers the subject in-depth - I'm struggling to see that as anything other than awesome.
If everyone posts small words of advice, it will be better than 20 guys each posting a page long essay.
If one guy posts a comprehensive response, why would 19 others need to do the same?
The point is, we've seen what 'everyone posting small words of advice' looks like - and it's a mess. People posting small words of advice often don't watch replays before doing so (remarkably there seems to be a correlation between not having time to watch a replay and not having time to write a substantive post), and consequently miss the actual problem someone is having. Arguments between them and those who have watched the replays clutter up threads still further - and those are the good threads. Small words of advice - although sometimes brilliantly concise - are often little more than generic truisms concerning unit counters.

I hope this brings forth some elaborate "how to xxx-guides" from the pros. I remember starting out in BW 1000years ago and reading Zerg guides written by mondragon and the likes. Was interesting and educative.

So I just got my report button, and am kinda scared I'm being too harsh with reports. I dunno where to post this, so I think here would be best. Anyways, if anyone happens to read this that is annoyed with my reports, let me knows plz?

you'll get a pm if you abuse it.
I feel the same way as you though. I got my report button in January and I've made rather sparing use of it...don't like feeling like a snitch, so I only report posters that I feel no community connection to.

Once you have been here for a year there will appear a Report button at the top of every post.

I'm pretty sure he was only asking if the rate that he's been reporting is okay, or if he should cut it back a little.

Could you give an example of a good post?

This looks like a pretty bad post to me...

I know the strategy forum is a place where nothing will ever work against anyone good, but seriously, saying this about a useful micro trick?

You need a certain amount of posts I think to get a report button.

Bring the ban hammer! Some of the posts on this forum are of the absolute highest quality and it's depressing to see them get lost in all the noise/nonsense.
On that note may I suggest egregious failure to use the search function as another rule to be enforced in the purge? It's annoying to see a new OP on a topic while there is a developed thread on the same topic still open or easily findable using the search function. This is part of the reason that great posts get pushed off the first page so fast. For instance someone today just posted a generic "what can I do to get better" while Cecilsunkure's great guide was still visible on the recent threads list. I feel like OPs like that ought to at least be warned to do some looking first.

Enjoy the thought behind cleaning up the useless drivel inhabiting a good portion of the posts on the TeamLiquid.net Strategy Forums! Keep up the good work!
