nice contribution to a serious conversation. now i know how you got 23904832487234 posts. please go away if you have nothing to say.

i know some sites that pay per article, it encourages new authors and you (as a site admin) dont have to use the article, if you dont want to.

how in the world do people get mad about this

no one is forced to volunteer, if you don't want to write for free then you don't, literally absolutely no problem is caused for anyone anywhere


no one is getting mad. i am just asking why they are not paying. i know this is for volunteers, i know there are no problems caused for anyone anywhere. I just want to share my opinion and maybe get some writers to think how they are working for free while TL gets the ad money.

Team Liquid Strategy ftw! :D

//

The fact that the positions are unpaid is a good idea, really like it - This makes sure that the people who write these aren't doing this because of some sweet sweet $ - this make sure that they make this because it is their passion, they do this for fun, they do this to work with new people from all around and if you wanna work in some esport related jobs and you say that you got some articels on this site with a lot of views and a lot of positiv feedback, that pushes your application even more.

Good point

Because you asked a question if they get something, i found this, this should help you a bit, maybe

We receive perks, but we aren't paid, no.


What kind of perks?


Not that it should really matter - it isn't what most (if any) of us signed up for - but we do get TL store discounts and access to press passes for a bunch (most) SC-related events. Depending on what you're like, a more public outlet for your opinion (writing editorials really fits some people and allows them to share their opinions where more people will see them) is also a plus. And I mean, I guess TL can probably be a way to get into other esports-related things if you're really into it, so you can think of it as an opporunity to broaden your skillset and so forth.

I figure you can think of this as having free coaching for your writing skills, as well as something to put on a resume/portfolio somewhere down the road of your life if you're still a student - some companies actually think highly of volunteer work!

As for the for-profit/nonprofit discussion/argument... why does it even matter? If you believe in the cause, you'll give your time and effort as the scv/probe/drone for free, and that doesn't change whether you're a company intern or a volunteer of an organization (profit or non-profit). If you can't find enough faith in the cause, you'll just choose not to pitch in your hours - that choice is only yours, and clearly not shared by the people who are volunteering. No amount of "this is stupid/unfair" Negative Nancy talk will dissuade future believers in the cause from applying, because they already are firm believers in the group's cause, and it usually takes a LOT for someone like that to lost that faith.


@lichter - would me teaming up with the Graphics team to bake special TL cookies (or I can go solo and bake Carbot cookies) for the TL staff (a few at a time, I don't bake for a living) make it worth it?

I know from other esports sites that volunteers have higher chances to get beta-keys (sc2, hots, d3, overwatch next time i think, especially closed beta keys) from Blizzard.
Seriously you should ask Blizzard for beta keys.


We do get keys from Blizzard

I used to be newswriter for Gaming.fi (sc2 content only) but now my passion is almost dead

I haven't watched or followed DH Winter at all. I was so suprised when I opened TeamLiquid and saw DH Winter Day 2 LR thread And I visit TL daily at least 20 times.

I added. Yes if you have any graphic questions we shall answer. ^^ Or want any advice, etc. I wouldn't have been here where I am today if I didn't try. I don't regret doing graphics for TLnet. One of the top things I love to do.

All of us have read this discussion 64 times and I wish people would stop assuming we dont know the value of what we do. We love TL and starcraft and that is why we right. I think (think) I speak for every volunteer on this site when I say that we really, really dont give a shit about not being paid.

Hey, could I do graphics if I only have a very limited knowledge of photoshop and a decent understanding of MSPaint? I have no artistic talent but I do wanna help in some way.

Can confirm, TL Writers is pretty awesome. I don't think getting paid really matters - most of us are here for the experience and the chance to give something back to the community that we love. We're a great bunch right now, and I'd love to see some more of the vast talent out there apply. Seriously, guys - don't be nervous. The worst thing you'll get is a 'Sorry, no thanks', which really isn't that bad. If you don't apply, you'll never know!

I don't really recommend using MS paint for graphics we wanna do (I'm looking at you lichter!), but another option out there is GIMP. It's a free program! Photoshop, gimp, and MS Paint don't magically make us banners, we have to have a sense what we are doing too. They are just tools (like a computer) to help us do things faster. ^^ If there is anyone who went from not doing banners to doing banners is riptide from LiquidDota. :D Back before the split he started to handle the banners as well (as the editing) cause he didn't want me to do too much work. He progressed quite well with making banners. :D Hope this helps!
