The subject of self-advertisement, asking for donations/viewer support from E-Athletes is as new to me as SC2. I do find it respectable, lawful, and similar to the act of busking, which cannot be confused with panhandling. Though I am annoyed by one user stream in particular*, whom has a habit of asking for generous contributions, and providing his paypal information more frequently then there are commercial breaks. To clarify, he asks for money A LOT! He is worse then the twenty minutes of advertisement you get when you are at the theatre. I find the stream has become a joke, and I am now longer interested in watching this user,(I will click un-follow after this is posted). This users actions are unique, as I do not find other players acting in this manner. Can an admin respond, and inform me to whether this users actions are acceptable or not on TL? And if they are not acceptable, could you please give this player a warning for verbal advertisements, and allow him text space where he can ask for donations. His gameplay is very entertaining, though I am annoyed and losing interest as a fan, as his antics are becoming more compareable with panning, then they would ever seem to balance out with what an E-athlete does. *allowing anonymity to user with stream | ||

It's pretty personal whether or not you wish to donate so I don't think it's much of an issue, they did get the stream featured so must be doing something right. | ||

We made a 'deal' of sorts, where I would help them start up their Call of Duty youtube page, and they would try SC2 (we're all buddies IRL). They've been playing SC2, and loving it! It's now my turn to hold up my end of the bargain, and I've got their youtube page up and running. It'd be great to get some support from the TL community, especially from those interested in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The page will be dedicated to the [GLRY] clan, and will eventually have videos up from all of the clan members, playing the game the way they do best (they are all exceptionally good players). I was given an "honorary invitation" into the clan, because I'm the tech guy. I even decided to bootcamp my iMac, download it off of steam, and record my own video while the rest of them are on vacation. (I'm a terrible MW2 player lol). Thanks for support, guys! youtube.com/theglrygamers theglrygamers@gmail.com Videos: I Am JBear (our best player, and basically team captain) + Show Spoiler + FubsyGamr (me!) just making a fool of myself + Show Spoiler + EDIT: If you have any requests of things you'd like to see out of the clan, just let us know! Why is this in SC2 General instead of General? | ||

I am planning on making a blog post about my youtube channel, the kind of videos i put out, ask for critizim/stuff but I want to make sure that it is not something I will be warned/banned about. In all honesty, i have not contibuted much to this site (aside from the 2.7k posts of mine), but I feel I am well known enough that I should be ok to go. This is just asking for conformation from the mods that I am allowed to do this. | ||

I've previously PM'd Nazgul about doing this for myself, and he told me that if you work on menaingful projects or matches then it's perfectly fine to make a blog or a topic in General. You're asking for criticism, so that's community interaction. Can't see a problem with you making a blog. | ||
