EPTIMO, the purge should be more to discourage laziness and idiocy at the same time encourage crazy new ones. So far i think balance is kept.

The only problem I have with it all is that some people are getting away with a warning/nothing at all (other than their thread closed) when they should be getting bans. I think that unless the mod's get even stricter (as in they follow the rules to a t, and ban people for even the most minor transgressions) the forum will go back to how it used to be, as people will think they can get away with it. Allow minor things to go unpunished and it wont be long before people start pushing their luck and posting trash. | ||

If you argue with a highlighted user/known player without good reason, you will be BANNED. Why? It's a privilege to have these guys posting advice here. They don't gain anything from giving you advice, and treating them with anything less than the respect they deserve only chases them away. So ask yourself this: do you really want pros posting in your threads? If so, be respectful. If not, you probably don't belong here. But fear not, there are plenty of other strategy forums you could be posting in. | ||

im saying this as a platinum player, i know every game i play has flaws in its fundementals, and right now id fear posting a replay based on that - even if im still confused why i lost despite this, because (for example) the other guys macro was equally flawed i dont disagree that it would be great to have higher quality posts in the strategy forum nor am i claiming to be the most super-able contributor either however this stuck out to me so i decided to write this post regards, | ||

You should change 'argue without good reason' to something more specific. That's too general when you don't define 'good reason.' Maybe something like 'If you cannot backup your point, don't argue [with a blue poster]'. | ||

Maybe a separate forum where newbies can roam free?  But tbh probably way more trouble than worth. | ||

I guess if your intent was to encourage below-diamond players to shut up, listen, and improve on their own that's cool, but honestly, if the rules had been this strict when I started posting I'd be a lot worse than I am now, simply because I gained an appreciation for HOW to analyze my play and HOW bad my macro really was. It's very easy to "give yourself a break" in such a difficult game; SC2 is so competitive at even the silver level (for people like me who have never competitively played an RTS) that you don't realize how terrible your seemingly-minor mistakes are. | ||

If your thread is about a new strategy and you do not have a damn good analysis (with replays) (i.e. I think your thread is too theorycrafty), you can play against me in a BO3 with your strategy. If you lose, you will be BANNED. How do you circumvent the problem if the user in question does not have an account on the US servers, or may lose to you due to other reasons rather than a necessarily flawed build? EDIT Also voicing the idea that maybe adding a subforum directed to help players only might also redirect a lot of unnecessary threats, while still allowing players like the ones posted above me who know about their micro and macro issues but still seek out advice because they also know they failed in other areas but are uncertain how to analyze it at that point. I also realize such a subforum could get messy, but this was also bound to happen when the TL forums opened up to the public and was not only limited to pros, since the majority of the SC2 players are not found in diamond and above. I do believe there must be a solution to be found that does not necessarily disencourage players to not post but still realize they need more help than the knowledge they possess themselves when analyzing a game. | ||

By having a damn good analysis with replays to back it up. I don't think that's out of anyone's capability to complete. | ||

If I can find another ongoing discussion on the same topic, you will be BANNED. Does this apply to guides too? In most cases, a bad guide won't be ongoing and probably won't apply to the new rules anyways. However, if somebody thinks they can improve on a decent guide where the discussion has slowed , should they be allowed to try? | ||
