Altruism or no, they're still giving up a chance to win a beta key - still counts for something.

They aren't, its fairly evident no one is getting a beta key, because obviously not enough people are going to cross their names off the list in time. or ever.

It's hilarious seeing all these 1-post users nominating themselves. It's even more hilarious to see some of them try to justify their actions. Everybody knows that post count != contribution. But do you think that people are going to give a shit about you if you just join 2 days ago, say a bunch of things that may or may not be true and are almost certainly not provable? Especially when there are 1703131239709 people like you saying the exact same things? And when there are dozens of veterans who a) don't have keys and b) have actually CONTRIBUTED A LOT to the site? lmao get real.

And before someone flames me, 1. i'm not asking for a key and 2. i'm not one of those veterans who contributed a lot to TL

Good day to you all!

I would like to remain on the list. I have already posted how much I have contributed. Thank you for the reminder by the way Hot_Bid.

Great to see you guys being so fair about all of this. I'm new to this site, and I guess if the veterans of this site see someone more worthy I'd pass up on it, though I've been waiting so long to get myself a hold of a key, god knows what Blizzard is doing giving out keys on facebook instead to the people who has opted in, that this place, amongst all the good guys in Starcraft gaming, is among my last shot at getting a hold of one.

I dont think most people clearly understand why exactly low post users are so discriminated against. Not too long ago I was one and faced it myself, and still am to a lesser extent. I didnt mind, I still dont.
Since a low post user hasnt posted much (duh) the staff hasnt had a chance to evaluate them properly yet. The more you post, the better people will get to know what your personality/opinion/character are when you post, and mods can accordingly either ban you, give you a star, or just do nothing. The more posts you have without having a huge number of temps, or a perma ban altogether, the more likely it is that you are a decent person/poster.
but since low post users havent been around long enough to be evaluated, noone knows whether they are douchebags or awesome, thoughtful posters waiting to happen, either one is possible
and THAT is why while your postcount is low, unless the few posts you make are REALLY good, you will not be taken seriously, nor will you be truly accepted into the community

I actually agree with this. I'm a low post user myself, but I don't think I had a chance to be evaluated yet. I've been playing Broodwar forever but I haven't found out about Teamliquid until later unfortunately. Yet as soon as I was able to discover this website, I believe I began to make posts that had insight. I'm pretty sure people definitely will have some prejudice against the low post users because they're assuming that they have nothing to contribute. But again, we don't know what kinds of things the low post users can offer.
