EPTI feel like I'm one few and far inbetween that takes time to type up a decently well thought out post, with my personal experience into the information.
I'm all 100% for anything that gets rid of more theorycraft to me.

I'm a positive chap so I'm going to say 1%, but some would argue that they're of no value at all. Explain to me how you can figure out someone's troubles in a matchup without watching his replays? Explain to me how it's useful when someone dies to a roach rush and you give generic advice of being agressive in TvZ and to make marines, since you haven't seen what actually happened ingame. I have no problem with how they are trying to run this Forum. The only thing I feel victimized about is that someone can clearly say "well I'm not good at using infestors, so I don't use them herp derp, can you help me mass mutas better?" How is it not good advice to tell that person, "Well hey buddy, if you practice working with infestors your overall gameplay will improve?". I didn't need a replay to tell that to someone, but I don't care about getting a warning for that because I understand what their (Zatic and TL's) point is. But honestly what high level player (pro) has time to come onto these forums watch the replays of extremely low level play and then comment on how that person can get better. Thats my only problem with this, the people they want to post still cannot do so without breaking the rules they want to enforce. I understand they want fewers posts and more information, thats why I generally do not post in this part of the forum. I also do not comment on TvZ's because I do not play T or Z. My point still remains that you can help someone improve by reading what they have to say, sure you have a much better understanding if you watch the replay, but I also seriously doubt the kind of people they want posting, are the people taking time to watch Gold< replays. I totally agree that this part of the forum would be much better with fewer OP's and fewer posts in each OP. But just because I don't 100% agree with this doesn't mean I'm spamming shit posts all over the Strategy forum. I think I'm allowed to be a little butt hurt when I post less than once a month in the Strategy forum, and I have something constructive and NOT rude to say, and I can still get warned. Its not a big deal to me, just means I will visit Strategy even less than I did before. And never post. | ||

See, courts can't jail people for stupidity because they don't have a definition or way to prove "stupidity", but TL has no court system.... I like this idea, one of TL's demandments should be 'don't be dumb'. | ||

The percentage of posters who clearly do not read the OP and comment without context is getting out of hand. Maybe we can work to self-police ourselves a little bit to make this forum a bit more relevant. | ||

This is a good thing. It's one of the things that really irritates me a lot of the time while reading the strat forum. I personally have gotten a temp ban for making a shitty post in here, and now I post better. I can only hope that this kind of thing helps that process along for others, because trying to give advice without watching a replay can actually hurt someone rather than help. | ||

during the day, he will troll the forums merely to keep the demon at bay.... but it is only a matter of time until sundown or the clock ticks 5:30pm is when the demon will overpower you and tell you to run home and play... not like I watch sc2 replays of people builds and demise, I usually imagine how they turn out. The @ work thing is annoying, but understandable, I mean, who the hell really wants to watch replays (not really professional) at home unless they're that bored | ||

This only applies to the strategy forum? For example in the General Thread there are topics that have video links and the such which I cannot watch at my work. Obviosuly for strat feedback this makes sense, this is just a clarification. Thanks! | ||

It means that you shouldn't be giving advice or asking for help in the Strategy Forum when you don't have access to the basic resources required to make an acceptable post. If you can watch replays and thus give helpful advice while at work, then more power to you. But don't use being at work as an excuse to not follow the forum guidelines. As soon as I saw this thread in the sidebar I thought 'here's a thread-close waiting to happen', guess that confirms it! Having said that, I couldn't agree more zatic, I can't think of the amount of times I've read a questionable strat, but held off from saying anything simply because I didn't have access to the replay (yeah, I'm at work now, and most of my time spent on the TL forums is at work). | ||
