How many top people actually posting about strategy? Sure people like nony/idra/incontrol post on tl often, but if you compare that to the pool of 'pro' players, the majority is rarely ever post. And this is against the very foundation of TL where everybody give contribution. | ||

Though high-level players have been complaining about disrespect/stupid feedback, they need to talk more about what their ideal forum environment would be. The point of this thread is that the community is behind whatever they might come up with. From what I've heard, it sounds like they wish they could have interesting discussions with the community but at the same time they wish that the community was as smart in their responses as they are. If that's the case, then this topic is far more complicated than I thought initially. Side Note: thank you to whoever moved this thread from General to SC2 General | ||

I know people like IdrA/Nony/Inc have the same addiction to TL like most of us do, but they're also kind of rare among the top players. If you stick the top 200 NA players in their own forum, how much discussion do you think will really take place? 2.5% Incontrol trolling people 0.5% Actual discussion | ||

The solution would be to allow access to like 2500+ on ladder, but that doesnt make the discussions any better, 2500+ people can be total idiots, anyone can. I would hate to see something like this happen, it's been done on other sites before, and it's been no less than major suckage. Take Arena Junkies for example, the quality of discussion there is similar to the bnet forums, no joke. Very bad idea. | ||

Give me a "no" that doesn't have something that doesn't even remotely apply to me and I'll pick that. A "pro" forum would just turn into day9 2.0 where everyone runs around thinking XYZ must be true because someone on that section said it, just like people constantly run around saying "day9 said ___" and treating it as gospel. | ||

I dont think any solution is really good, but just highlighting posts that are made by top players, sort of like blue posts on the blizzard forums would be better than what we have now. So that when top players DO actually post, it doesn't get drowned in hundreds of trash posts for nobody to read. But Im not sure how to do it, practically .. I mean Idra could just be trolling a thread and it gets flagged as "pro input", so it'd have to be a manual process where mods add the flags to the posts that actually have good content. Its going to be hell :C | ||

Many of the best players don't spend time discussing strategy in forums anyway, so it wouldn't even be properly used. | ||

That would be the whole point, to give good players incentive to use TL for strategy discussions again.. | ||

For strategy I think the best way to deal with this should be a access system to different subforums based on actual ladder ranking. To write in the strategy forums you must connect your account to a bnet account. The subforums could be divided in bronze, silver, diamond, plat, master. Only people with the right access can write in the forums. This way the reader can make a quick judgment of the poster and the tl staff will not forced to manage some internal tl ranking system. With growth that feels like a good way to go. Edit: Would have voted on "No, I dont think it is a working system". | ||

As I have stated before - I support this idea, but there is a fine line between exclusive where almost no one posts and its a dead forum and where there are again too many people. Too much either way and it will fail. | ||

One thing that could be incorporated though could be a way for people to submit questions that would only be answered by pros. If they could provide information to even bronze/silver/gold/platinum players, at least they would feel like they could rely on that info because they might know the person and their reputation as top players. | ||
