500 posts requirement? A think a lot of people who posted in this thread are justly unhappy with this. It's a rather biased way to a lot of the TL community. There are a lot of us who have been on this site for a long time and have consistently visited every day but do not really post too frequently. Why? That's just the kind of people that we are, only choosing to drop a constructive post every now and then but not posting avidly. We still read, we still watch, we still are very much a part of this site and this community. Denying us a chance and instead letting people who have accumulated 500 posts with one-liners in Blogs participate? It just does not seem fair.
My suggestion? Add an alternate requirement that is based on the amount of time that your account has been registered with the site. I think 1 year or possibly even 6 months would be a solid benchmark. I agree. The amount of posts also doesn't say anything about the quality. Do we really want to support someone who has only spamed? Yes, because all of us who have a lot of posts have only ever spammed. At least think before you make a post... He did not even imply that... He is just saying that the amount of posts doesn't show one's quality of post and contribution to the community. You posted 2k+ posts in less than a year. Did you make quality post? I'm sure you did. Did you have any spam "filler" posts? You probably did too. His whole point is that the current system has its flaw, no need to get defensive there...
The system rewards those who spend time on, and more importantly, add to TL. I see no problem in that.
Rather than say, people who just lurk around for 6 or 7 years without helping out in the strategy forums, without hyping up a tournament.

I agree with what you said. However, I feel that it is not the best way to quantify contribution to Teamliquid. Take, as an example, the person who created the file which can "reconnect" to the game via replay. He had one post. I did not check the date his joined TL, but it is likely that he knew TL for a while. His contribution to the scene is enormous (to the point that blizz took the idea and implemented it in HotS i believe). From the current rule, he cannot have a chance to win.

On the contrary, people like Fuzzy and Snute, who both have less than 300 posts, as well as the person you're talking about, most likely get invites from Blizzard themselves, a long time before most people get their beta giveaways. If Blizzard is indeed using Take's ideas, then I'm pretty sure they're giving him compensation.
I'm also saying this because there's a lot of people who have only joined in a year or 6 months or whatever who are also complaining, even though they only post around once a week. And anybody can say "I've visited TL from the beginning, I just never made an account!!!!" And we have no proof to validate that point either.

Quit your bitching.
You are our guests. We will make all attempts to treat everyone with due respect and to accommodate everyone's wishes as far as reasonably possible. But, this is a private site. We are not funded by any governments. This means we run the site the way we see fit. We are not obligated to observe anyone's notions of "free speech" or even "fairness."
If people feel this just encourages posters to spam, then by all means go ahead and make 500 quality posts, instead of spending a couple to be bitter in this thread and then continue not posting.

I doubt that blizzard goes to TL to ban ppl for that. (If they ban ppl for that at all)
Even if he uses the same account name as on battle net it doesn't proof that he is the same person.
