I'm not a member of TL for that long (new with sc2) but I think the mods on here are the best, just take a look at the closed threads and the people banned everyday. I also don't think your idea is great, infact I'm very much against it, if someone is trolling on here be sure they won't stay here for much longer, again reffering to the bans.

As for the discussion parts with only allowing diamond level players to post, in my opinion that won't work as many many people that are in diamond don't deserve to be there, I'm mostlly lurking on these forums and beeing denied access to a part of a forum just because I don't play sc2 enough to be 1200+ doesn't sound very good to me.

QXC you've probablly heard of him, is a great great player and I'm sure if he makes a post about something he feels needs posting, people that post negative responses just for the sake of posting, without actually discussing the matter at hand again like I said won't stay here much longer. SOmme people that have been warned or banned for 2+ days have been banned for one line posts, trolling, or even just quoting the guy above, when they provide no feedback on the discussion they need to go.

(TLDR): TL.net is great, please keep it as it is.

I agree


This could also fix the issue that was mentioned by Saracen, where a lot of pros don't actually like to post here any more because there is always an abundance of noobs telling them that they are stupid, whenever they post something.
On my way...

The problem with this system is twofold; 1) There are plenty of high point players who still haven't a clue about actual game balance, 2) There are some players who don't play much and aren't ranked and still have more gameplay balance knowledge then most high rank ever will.

How about a Forum where the quality of yours posting earns you the right to post, instead of some arbitrary number? It would make a great deal more sense to base it off what someone has proven they can bring to the table of discourse instead of some number that may or may not of been earned.

You must have missed MorroW and IdrA getting into a flame war. Just having a ton of points and being good doesn't mean the forum wouldn't turn into a shit fest.

The only problem is you're offending all the bronzies who will then come into this thread and vote against this measure, even when its best for the website/community. If this vote indicates that people want this feature even with the lower players coming in here and poo pooing it, then it should be done without any doubt.

But it probably won't.

Sadly.

Its an interesting idea but I think it would not be successful and is unlikely to be implemented. If the 1200+ point players want a place to discuss strategy then they can make their own forum to do it.

btw "I'm high rank plat, my games are usually vs. 500pt Diamonds. so.... whats that C or lower in ICCUP?" probably means you're D rank iccup

I like the idea, but I think that would deprave the actual strategy forum of veterans. If newbies like me have a legitimate question, who will answer when everyone is flocking to this new elite forum?

you come of as a huge elitist in my eyes, in the end its the staff of TL that decides stuff like that, and tbh i don't think they want it to be a regime like that

Make this feature happen and we'll see how it works out.

As a brand new player to multiplayer rts, I would love to have that type of sub-forum. It's hard to tell which information in the strategy section is actually useful and which information is actually counterproductive.

I'd be up for having a sub forum that only "pros" can post in, just to have all their posts in one place and to be able to easily look at their strats/thoughts etc. But i think these people should not be just over 1200 rating. I think the TL staff should designate who they think should be able to post there. Hopefully people like IdrA, Huk, LzGaMeR, etc.

I have no problem with a 'qualified writers' forum. I want to say that there's so much to be learned if people would just shut up and listen to qualified players. I think it's redundant, though, because a place to go for 'qualified' or 'legit' information is what Liquipedia ought to be.

Don't let IdrA find out you compared him to HuK and Lz, his head my explode with BM.

First of all, I'm not sure that being high rated necessarily makes you good at discussing the game or knowledgeable about the game. Maybe its true for the top couple hundred players or so, but certainly not 1200+ point players. There are some really good game players who are immature/stupid/have dumb balance opinions but they are still able to play well. Maybe there are some lower rated ladder players who watch more than they play and who are intelligent people who just don't practice enough who can offer valuable input.

Also, comparing anything to arenajunkies is pretty much a joke, I was a member of that site from the day it was created and i saw very few intelligent threads and mostly exactly what you guys are complaining about, people you don't think are intelligent or highly ranked enough to be posting making stupid threads or whatever.

Largest benefit would be knowing the source is competent. The strategy section currently is a pretty iffy place sometimes. It is very frustrating to read a large write-up eagerly, then a couple pages of comments, and then watch the replay for 5-10 minutes only to find out that both players in said replay were atrocious.

The largest issue for setting the forum up would be how to allow privileges. Invite only would work for "pros only" but a 1300+ forum would need some automation likely requiring folks to link their TL accounts with their profiles. I don't know how much time or money would be required in setting that up.

I second issue which could likely could be worked around with some ingenuity is that the "good players" have an ever moving point value. Perhaps time will show that eventually we know "1500+ is a very good player" but currently we just know that point values have been slowly going up since launch. Solution likely would involve a "Rating > 1000 + kTime" in place of "Rating > 1300" to account for this steady growth of rating as the season goes on.

I disagree.
The "lesser players" will still be able to read it, they just can't reply and fuck the thing up. I think it's an awesome idea. Right now the strategy forum is like bronze players OP with a diamond player response or diamond player with a bunch of bad bronze responses.
