When I read all the, BANNED and CLOSED. I can just picture Saracen, Zatic, and Chill just screaming at their monitors looking at threads that are NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

ala Marshall and the whip from HIMYM.


Great work guys.

Big thanks to you, saracen- I've gotten tired of just reading the bad strategy, can't imagine what it's like for you to have to mod it.

Much love-

As much as this is nice, sometimes it hurts me when a player posted a not-so-good thread and someone decides to help. they read, help to points out some post on what happens while typing a rather long post. When they press the post button, then they realise the post have been closed. which kinda wasted that person time typing their thoughts.But well, thanks for the moderation guess i will just use pm if i want to reply to such threads.

Well, I think TL should incorporate more High Level players to the strategic forum, in case when someone ask for an advice or help, i can have responses from Tyler, Huk, Jinro, Haypro etc etc,

this way ppl will stop doing thread for everything because those advices will be good.

I know ist not obligatory to respond my question about how to improve, but Players that are part
of TL rooster should contribute to the community in someway.

sorry for my english
if play random i can't call any race imba?

Hello, wanting to ask simple questions and making an entire thread for it is one of the problems. There is a thread for simple questions though and you wont be banned for posting in it.

If a question is complex enough to warrant its own thread, its complex enough to need a replay demonstrating why you need it answered. if its not complex enough for a replay, its not complex enough for its own thread and should be in the Simple Questions/Answers thread.

I think that a Purge was WELL overdue, just because of the fact that 65-70% of some of the stuff is useless, and imho i dont read half of the stuff because of the whinning in the title or "how do I beat XvX" The reason I have never posted is because there are ppl who can write and articulate exactly what they need to in order for me to READ it and get what the poster is saying or trying to improve on how the game is played. I Don't want to read any more people's posts that whine, or cry IMBA. When I First got the game I didn't know TL existed... I went and watched the pro's like TLO and HUK and KIWIKAKI because I knew that I wanted to play protoss. Although I am not as good as them, if you take the time to study their replays it's easy to see what they are doing and how they are doing it. It's up to the player to practice it and become better, not just try it once and say "that didn't work this is bull*&^%".

How many ppl in TL have read EVERY post and if you have I commend you for reading through some really poor postings. I commend and appluad the moderators for their patience and their commitment to make the TL strategy forums about STRATEGY and not whinning.

EDIT----- sry about the long winded statment BUT, I stand by what I said.

Well this has it's good and bad parts , but i don't agree with it totaly because if we think of the people that are going to come here ask for help you will never be satisfied.
I have no ideea at what lvl of play the moderator that will push the BAN button is but i am sure there are better players then him and most important A LOT of worst players. So there will be a lot of questions that will be very low lvl and might look stupid. There is like 2% in Masters and beeing in masters is no big deal at the moment so we want strategy for the 2% or everyone ?

Oh but some are really lame and not worth it so they deserv the BANZOR

My Guide didn't make the list but it is linked to by several of the guides that did!

That makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

[*]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. 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 funniest line I've read on TL in a while and will alone cut the number of threads on the strategy board in half. Strategy forum could become incredibly interesting if these rules are actually enforced.

Read the OP closely, people can still ask questions, people can still come for help. The thing is rediculous things that dont warrant thier own thread, such as the player was on 2 base his opponent was on 5 base clearly out macroed and he lost than makes a thread asking why, it is rediculous. Also for small questions that you dont need a thread to answer you can ask them in the simple questions thread.

Please go and read the OP again, it is very fair and people need to follow the forum guidelines, it is by no means running off all the newbs. This is a well needed purge, most players masters+ cant even read the strategy forums because of how horrible it has become.

Saracen - are there any plans to make a subforum under strategy that only masters players can post?

Most appreciated: although the BW strategy forums were never a mecca of perfect posting, hopefully sanity can be restored to the strategy forums. The new guidelines are pretty nice, and although I do have a couple issues with them, they are trivial in comparison to the benefits most of them will cause.

Thank God, dude. Joined TL like 5 months ago because I heard from other e-citizens that it was the best. I wanted to improve by learning from the best, but I've been kind of disappointed, most strat threads are the most hollow bullshit and I'd get more SC2 improvement by lurking 4chan--props to CecilSunkure for his awesome Toss guides though

Saracen the Terrible.

I'm definitely much less likely to post in this section. Probably for the best.
