is that it takes time to improve macro and micro, and some people would actually like to win games while improving.


I think Saracen is talking about people who post about why they lost when it was obvious that they just A-Moved in a situation where they needed to micro or just got massively out-macroed and those factors were the reason of the loss.

Might I suggest another forum/subforum for people seeking help, sort of like how the Fan Clubs and User Streams are for the TL Community section. It would be used to post replays and ask what said person did wrong and other replay analysis.Then keep the strategy section purely for such threads as CecilSunkure's PvT 3 gate expo and others along those lines.

I think there's a balance issue with posters being too OP on this forum. Hopefully with the new patch the banhammer will cometh and bring the forum up to par.

Can't wait to see what the forum looks like after some purging. Keep up the good work admins.

This is my favorite part :D
Will you please post the replays when you're done winning as a grim reminder to all aspiring challengers?

I'm happy to see these changes. I might visit the strategy forum for actual strategy now that it won't be littered with "you lost cuz *** is IMBA".

Thanks!

Joking, Saracen.

I just read this forum and I know how hard modding it has been the last few months for you all.

I think Saracen is talking about people who post about why they lost when it was obvious that they just A-Moved in a situation where they needed to micro or just got massively out-macroed and those factors were the reason of the loss.


Saracen just wants more people to read Plexa's thread on how to analyze replays so they can help themselves and not clutter the forum. Too often there are [H] threads made here by frustrated/lazy people who refuse to do their own work analyzing games. Here is a typical template for such posts:

thread title: "[H]pvz is impossible"
thread content: "omg this matchup is driving me nuts how do you win??? I've tried everything but can never win! can you guys watch my replays? should I add more high templars and motherships???
link to replay 1 (replay shows the guy failing DT rush, then gets outmacro'd 2 base vs 5 base)
link to replay 2 (replay shows the guy floating 3000 minerals and getting crushed)
link to replay 3 (replay shows the guy doing some weird ass build he's clearly never practiced before, gets attacked and dies)
link to replay 4 (replay shows the guy failing an unoptimized 4 gate build because he used right click instead of attack move and lost all his units for nothing)
(all replays show him QQing about balance instead of saying gg at the end)"

I'm sure you've seen many threads like this before. It is apparent upon watching just one of their replays that they didn't watch their own replays even once, didn't look at the how to improve thread, didn't look at Plexa's analyzing replays thread, never looked up their build on liquidpedia, and most likely hasn't touched the strategy forum guidelines.
During practice session, I discovered very good build against zerg. -Bisu[Shield]

Just out of curiosity... what if I win/roflstomp you? Will you self BAN yourself or something?

I agree with this, strats have to be legit and tested and not lazy garbage.

Lol, as awesome that is, we don't want to be encouraging troll posts to get the mods to ban themselves.

However, I would support a tourney with mods vs noobs where loser is temp banned for a day.

As a relatively new participant of the TL community, this is quite intimidating! I really hope I don't screw up. Great rules though. They will hopefully help maintain a level of professionalism amongst the users, myself included. I particularly enjoy the part where you will be facing off against people who are theorycrafting without actual testing. =]

Edit: I've been watching the forums for about an hour now, and.. crudely put, you guys are really on top of this shit lol. I can't help but laugh when I see a thread pop up and immediately vanish because someone chose to ignore a [!] thread. If only the community would be more mindful and attentive. You gentlemen (and ladies??) really do have your work cut out for you.
