bans/thread closures.
Forget everything else, if you can successfully mod the above 2 rules, every other problem solves itself.

Can we get a count of how many times this thread has been linked on these forums? 
edit: searching viewmessage.php?topic_id=210370 in content yielded only 334, I would have thought it was more than that.

Don't speak too soon...
After glancing at the SC2 section after a long time away, I find an OP which doesn't actually discuss strategy, but rather decides to whine that a match up is complicated. It's filled to the brim with plenty of 1-2 liners as well. We don't need a purge, we need all out nuclear war.

One thing I really hate is when someone starts a topic on a particular build order that they've been working on and people just post something like, "No do this build order instead it's better" and all their post is is the build order. I think it's okay to tell an OP that he has an unrefined build order and direct him to a better execution of the same thing, but I hate when people jus say their build order is better. They should at least have to explain why they think it's better and the advantages. It really throws off the flow of a topic when you have these people just throwing in random build orders that many times don't even serve the same purpose as the original (promoting a cheese version of a build meant to pressure into expand).
If not watching a replay to give advice is considered too rude to post, then the same should apply to providing counter build orders without properly comparing to the original one.

Only gets you banned from strategy section, not ht entire TL.

feels kinda harsh on new players, but as tl is a respectable team, I think this is the least we can do for them!

Welp, I'm definitely going to be way too worried about getting banned to ever make a thread in the strategy forum, that's for sure. I know it's for professionalism, but now I'm extremely reserved about ever voicing my thoughts here in it's own thread
|
When Saracen first posted this I got all excited. But really the Strat Forums for SC2 are still full of Crappy OPs and ignorant posts.
How in the world do some people have 200 posts and still posting "i'm at work can't watch/post replay".

Don't worry. Saracen is not a ban-monster. There is usually a very obvious reason to a ban. If you make a thread and it's not good enough it will be closed. If you put thought into it you won't be banned. Also, mods will give you a reason everytime they close a thread so that you know your mistakes and can improve.
Hope that put you at ease.

I know what you mean, it's disgusting that when you create a new thread it asks you to read the guidelines, and people just think "NBD" and make threads and/or respond to threads while blatantly violating the guidelines...
edit: what the person below me said, I'd love to swing some banhammers haha

I volunteer myself to be a mod of the Strat forum with a sole purpose of closing and banning bad OPs.
|
I know it's a lot to ask, but it is my birthday this year, and I was wondering... would it be ok to put the phrase "Any good X..." in room 101 along with "I'm at work..." ?

hell yeah, bring down the ban hammer

What if I said I'd posted in about 20 strategy threads and never watched a replay?

This makes me sad. Like 5 crap Threads have appeared today in like my first 30 minutes of browsing.
And I'm so sick of "Dealing With" threads. Personally I think that their should be a quiz before:
1) Your allowed to post for the first time
2)Your allowed to make a thread for the first time
3) Before you can make a Thread SC2 Strategy Forums. This one should be completed every single time. Not only will it be tedious, but make people think twice before making crappy threads. Only people who have something worthwhile to contribute will take the time to do a 20 question quiz about what is and what is not appropriate for the Strategy Forum.
4) Before you can post in the Strategy Forum for the first time
Times like this make me wish I were a mod, but then again I don't want to lose my soul to the Moderator Devil.
