If I watch your replay and there are obvious flaws (macro, micro, etc.) in your game that contribute to your loss, you will be BANNED (Hint: read the Analyzing Replays thread and the How to Improve thread). Why? Because if you care enough about your gameplay to clutter up the Strategy Forum with another [H] thread, then you care enough to spend time by yourself to actually improve.


This is the only one I'm really concerned about, I mean, granted this is a higher level Strategy forum; however, even Master league players will forget to make workers at times, or get supply blocked, and of course either of those two things will contribute to the loss; however, I didn't think it'd be such a horrible offense after posting the replay and giving an in-depth analysis of the replay that just because our probes and pylons isn't day9 that we get banned?

If this is the case, could you at least make a stickied thread much like the simple question simple answer where novices can post their replays and ask for help?


I do not think he is talking about forgetting the occasional worker, but rather things like 1500 minerals at the 10 minute mark, only 21 Workers on 2 base or other obvious flaws like that.

I have never posted in the strategy forum before, because i feel not qualified to give other people advice, however, when i read some of the threads here i actually think that such harsh guidelines are neccesary. Btw. im really suprised nobody has posted this : Shit just got real!

I read the OP in Denzel Washingtons voice. I am really happy to see stricter moderation in the strat forum. Maybe i will unhide it on my sidebar.

Agreed that guide is excellent.And really so many of peoples problems could be solved by that guide that you don't need to be constantly spamming the strat forum with help threads.

I haven't been around in this community very long (about 9 months) but i go through the BW and SC2 strat forums and i can see a clear difference between the quality of threads in them but i applaud the idea of banning retards who post like this

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/2353268336

I mean for god sakes look at the title it is absolutely pathetic so i really hope you continue this banhammer campaign GL with getting the thread back to quality

I fear TL and especially the TL strategy thread is becoming exceptionally elitist. 92% of players on the ladder are platinum and under, and ~50% are bronze. The teamliquid site should embrace people of all skill levels. If the sc2 strategy forum is going to be so exclusive, there should be a place for people to ask questions and get help that is much more inclusive. Make the sc2 strategy board you want, but include a board (and one thread is not enough, sorry) where people can post less then exceptional threads.

It's not about elitism or not. It's about strategy. It's about what's bad play and what's better play.

Let's use an example: the vast majority of people are not scientists. That doesn't mean we get to clog/clutter the science textbooks and journals with our random ideas. Scientists aren't being "elitist" by excluding how I think the oceans formed in their journals. They know more than me.

There needs to be some censorship of the strategy forum or else no one will learn anything.

Teamliquid's strategy forum should be held to a certain standard and the level of effort the mods asked for is reasonable. The crackdown is definitely going to turn away some members of the community away and I don’t think that is necessarily a bad thing. There are some excellent general guides stickied on the board which can be read under 2 hours. The Plat and under players benefit greatly from applying those guides to their own games. If these players are unwilling to put down effort to improve themselves, I see no reason why they should pollute the forum for those who have put down the effort.

Lol, i can just picture saracen going "Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking..."

And how is the forum becoming more elitist? What he is weeding out from is the stuff that people can found just by spending time analyzing their own reps (is it really that hard to know you need better macro when you have 1.5k min 15 mins into the game?), the retarded shit that some random guy think is good by winning vs bronze people (i don't go here often, but there's a thread in the bw forum about 10hatch pwn protoss), and threads where people go "derp derp how do i do dis" when there are like 10 threads about that already if they bother to use the search function. In a short version, this is what he did:

You don't spend effort into improving your own game, you're banned.
You post a guide and it obviously blows ass, you're banned.
You don't use the search function, you're banned.

Posting is somewhat the same. Some effort and common sense is required. If you're posting, look at this, and worried about posting something too scrubby, you probably are one and you shouldn't post. Save the thread from being flooded with 3 pages of shit posts and 1 liners.

Anything wrong with that?

Most of game forums out there either do the same shit, or they're dead. Granted, Saracen's punishment is a bit extreme, but Shoryuken.com and diablo.incgamers.com do the same stuff, and they're the biggest site of their respective game.

Another rule please

If you BM inside of the game, please don't post the replay here for us to analyze

I've analyzed replays where the person who posts the replay is like "Oh excuse my bm" and when I watched the replays he flames the entire game

People shouldn't bm then turn around and expect us to help them

Teamliquid promotes manner in games

I'm not sure if we can extract chat but I don't think people who bm in game deserve our help

These are the complainers... If they complain in game it's more likely that they'll compare out of game/on TL

When I analyze games, it takes me a good 20 minutes to write down all the thoughts and timings

People that go against the Teamliquid spirit of manner don't deserve such a time commitment

IdrA gets a lot of haters because of his bm but he gets tolerance because he's a progamer and he has earned it.

Average joe in masters hasn't

It's not an equal place on teamliquid and no one will pretend that it is.
