Just while were on the subject can we please have a forum where only people with over 3170 posts can participate? Im tired of threads made by people with only 48 posts talking about what the TL community should do...

don't really like the idea, it's not because you don't play lots of 1v game that your opinion is garbage.

Team Liquid is a great community, and leave it that way. No need to try and split the community.

I feel the mods are doing their best, and are learning each day more effective methods of banning/warning us when we step out of line.

Well you kinda have a point there but it's just such a huge organizational effort that it's probably not worth it.

But yeah I'm at the edge of 1400pt and feel like I actually just now started to understand a lot stuff.
Having low Diamond players or lower in a thread won't help the discussion all too much :/

The thing I'd rather like to see are really, really strict banning rules against OP whiners. Especially in the GSL threads, it's an abomination >.<

An issue with the "idra/lzgamer/huk" level only forum -- Very small group of folks who have the least to gain and most to lose by discussing strategy online. I could be totally off here but that is what I'd think.

I am super interested in this happening because I would love to be able to read what better players are saying without having to manually filter thru the endless amount of crap posts.... I dont even get why bronze players post things like rushing carriers in PvT etc. etc. anytime you plan anything in a league below diamond I feel like you have a huge edge... 1000 points is attainable on the ladder with 1 build, prolly 1200 is now too do to inflation..

The thing about separating it with points is that our points are ever changing, maybe if the top like 1000 people on SC2 rankings (in each region could post) that would be legit. It would also make the ladder more completive via people fighting over the right to post... Awesome.

this is so sad. im hanging around in this forum since sc2 release. im new to rts (well some sc1 but not much) and as you can see my post count is not high. i mostly read. and i guess im not the only one that is just seeking for some tipps and tactics.

and to be really honest - when seeing how much "i am diamond" cool guys got trolled by the "carriers now spawn with 4 interceptors" patch notes i rarely visit tactics forum anymore.. so yeah go ahead and make your cool club. whatever....

I don't think there should be a posting requirement, but if there was a special icon or notification next to their name that they get when they're "pro status" like 1700+? that way people looking for high level insight can pay attention to which posts are from top players.

I'd think if you were trying to help the community you would want it open to everyone to read.

It doesn't take alot of games to get to 1200 and if you barely play, then how do you know all the subtle parts to the game? The only way to flesh out everything is experience - something that bronze players don't have

Do you have any idea how terrible Arena Junkies is? It's infested with trolls and idiots who think that they know something about a game just because they got some rating.

I dont see the problem with TL the way it is now... Sure there might be some silly posts but you can just ignore them, and the mods are good at deleting the worst.

Yes there are many pro players who everyone could learn alot from, but there are probably more 1200+ players that are total idiots, and will act like douchebags every chance they get. It will not increases the quality of the forum.

And the idea that access should only be given to a handfull of pros is just silly aswell. To have an active forum you'd need atleast 100+ people posting.

I cannot imagine that people cannot sort out which posts are good and which are bad.

Lets say HuK posted some really cool new strategy. I dont think that there would be 10 bronze players arguing with him. Infact, i've never seen bronze players argue with anyone, atleast not on TL.

Voted no, i think this is a terrible idea.

i ceraintly would support some sort of filtering. I simply keep the Strategy section tab closed right now. It just makes me sad.

Oh come on, now you're just being an Elitist Jerk (pun fully and completely intended). The mods are doing an excellent job of pruning idiot threads and the community self-polices with such efficiency, there's no reason for something like this. I read this as more of an "I'm great, so we should exclude people who aren't" thread rather than a serious suggestion.

Only problem is you could have a 1200 point bronze player.

Just for reference 500 is like D- and 1200 is maybe C.
If this were to ever happen, invite only would be the way to go. Elitist? Definitely but the discussion needs to happen somewhere.

Actually having a solution for this would be a great idea. But instead of having post count/points requirement why not have a karma system like slashdot along with a post rating option (like digg) ? That way good posters will have positive karma which will make their posts visible by default while regular posters will start from 0. This will also quickly bury troll posts and other stuff which reduces their voice.
This way people who have great posting history will have their voices heard more than those without.

This is stupid, this is only a phase and is more or less the moderators problem. TL has always been full of a lot of bad information, but we all know where the good information is and it is normally that which stays and get many hits. The good guildes, that Progamers write are still being looked at. however everybody els should still be able to write in how to improve and have their theories. And just have a good time. This forum is social also. What about giving probs, or suggesting builds.

What if some gold level player found some build which was not perfect but could become the next saviour build or bisu build for that matter, if it just got seen by somebody better.
If only very good players could post this would be hard to get to these posts. Also the current ranking systerm on ladder has no real effect or does not translate skill.

when time passes by people who are not Starcraft interested will go play halo or what ever and in a years time the forum will be cleaner again. It is just a temporary state in the long history of Teamliquid.
