LOL, I actually do not get why his Youtube link has not been removed!
Not like he is a threat or anything as he has a lot of his videos with no views at all, but still, his link should not be there...

Funny guy indeed though!
Probably a previously banned user as he only had that one post.

I've got some insights into how to promote stuff on the Internet and it never ceases to amaze me how people fail to understand that the two major factors are time and contribution. E.g. I actually strongly support forums which demand like 50-100 posts before you can post anything in your signature...

I'm looking to do a show match tonight with a Master vs Grandmaster testing a map in the late stages of development. I don't want to step on anyone's toes: if I have not earned the right to post the stream here, that's fine. I just didn't know where this fit (Hey, check this stream out for an hour tonight versus "come to my website and leave this place").

I'm not trying to create a community, or promote my stream. I am trying to make some cool games, and test the map I've been working on, and give it some exposure. I decided to err on the side of caution and ask those who might know: is it appropriate to announce the show match on TL at this time? And if so, where is the best place to post it?

Thanks for your time,
Respectfully,
Foxy

I have just read through all 8 pages of this thread, chuckling at the people who either interpreted the thread title as "Put your Advertising here!" and didn't bother reading the OP to understand what this thread was actually saying, or decided to troll and place in their blog/link.

But on topic, I had a legitimate serious question. As Tofucake said earlier, vods and builds should be placed on Liquipedia. Let's say hypothetically, someone goes on a search for vod references of a build they just created an article for and they soon realize there are no casted vods of the build on Youtube and he or she decides to create one and then place the appropriate link under references of Liquipedia.

But as he or she go back to lurking the threads, he or she discovers a specific thread discussing the build and people are asking how to execute the build correctly, if the person in question links to their youtube video that they created, as opposed to the Liquipedia article which contains the VOD in order to gain several more views but contribute as well, would that constitute a ban?

Something else besides advertising that I think deserves attention from the online gaming community in general is the amount of hate talk that goes on. The amount of times people call someone fag, homo, nigger, etc because someone won who cheesed is unacceptable in my mind. You see this on the forums as well. These people are using these terms in explicitly demeaning ways meant to insult another player through language that in any other forum would be unacceptable. The excuse "I didn't mean it that way" is simply not true in this situation since they chose those words to explicitly mean negative things to the player they sling them at.

As a community it is up to us to help push this sort of discourse out of the gaming world since as more and more people join we should work to make it as inclusive as possible. Whether this be banning them, refusing to play with them, telling them to stop, warning them, etc is another subject. But the bottom line is that we all need to start figuring out what to do and working to stop it instead of allowing it to go unquestioned and ignored.

I put a youtube link in my quote...but I provide free analysis/tutorials etc which I think will be of overall benefit to TL users. Is this kind of advertisement acceptable?
