Maybe it's ordered by the most used punishment

Ok so are there different tiers of moderators?

Say Mod A bans Felicity for whoring on the forums, but Mod B discovers that Felicity was merely into body art. Does Mod B need to contact Mod A to reverse the ban? Can Mod B do it without A's knowledge? Or would an admin have to step in?

In my mind right now it works something liek dis: (top to bottom, most powerful to least powerful)

1. Nazgul
2. R1CH
3. Admins
4. Mods

Please satisfy the curiosity of those of us that will never become mods, please deliver...

I have a question. Isn't it a bit inconsistent to have those (relatively) strict requirements for sc2 streams but not for BW streams? Right now my stream sidebar displays 11 BW streams below 100 viewer count and only 3 sc2 streams in total (one of them in Russian). It doesn't bother me at all and even if it would I'm sure there is an option to hide BW streams somewhere in my profile settings so it's not a problem to me. I'm just curious.

Different games different requirements of course. Scenes are different in size, and for BW it's almost all Korean pros and ex-pros.

I, for one, find ProTechs stream entertaining and with all the 1v1 streams I find 2v2 a niche that is fun to watch.
Clearly a meltdown by PT in here, but after trying to reasonably argue his case and being met by what I see as slightly silly explanations I can kind of see why.

My 5 cents.

Where can we read the requirements for streaming BW? I've been toying with the idea for some time now, since I'm focused on really climbing the ladder which might be helpful to beginners.

He is GM, and when he is not in try hard mode he has commentary. I can look at serious streamers of high end gamers like huk/state/polt/etc but sometimes I am in the mood to watch sometimes less serious.

Some of his trolls games are also kind of funny. Like one game he dropped vikings, or another he built a lot of bunkers side by side to quickly 'teleport' units across the map. Those type of silly things can be entertaining.

I am sure a lot of gold and lower leagues also learn from him.

And of course, one day I hope to win a giveaway from him

The last time I watched(to see who is winter, he was a big topic back then) he was trolling diamond/low master level players. Don't know how about now, but that is assholery if you ask me, but I don't watch streams, so I don't care who's featured or not.

I was directed to post here by DrAeromi on my stream, so here goes:

I've been streaming consistently over the last couple months and I focus on commentary and stream-of-consciousness talking about the game as I play it. I'm a GM terran on NA, made GM on KR last season, and I've been consistently hitting upwards of 100 viewers when I stream.

I've been on TL for so long and it's always been a pipe dream of mine to get my stream featured. I'm hoping you'll at least consider me for a feature, or if not, let me know what I can do to improve my chances.

After spending a lot of time considering our new requirements due to the dissolution of last year's challenger league (turning it into something wholly indistinguishable), I developed a headache. How do we continue to feature some of the up and coming players in SC2 without diluting the value of featured streams? The lack of a proper challenger league and the fact that there are no leagues any more—just qualifiers for big weekenders each season with no announced player retention—it became obvious that it would be impossible to please everyone.

As such, we believe that the current requirements, with one change, will, in the long run, be what's best. Since WCS Circuit events now give greater opportunity for foreigners to make it big, we've lowered the bar so that more young, hot players can reach it. Now, all players that earn WCS points from premier tournaments will be eligible to be featured (as long as they actually stream sometimes). While this is still not as lenient as last year's, there was no way to draw a fair and objective line in the various regional qualifiers. It would not be fair to handpick EU or NA regions and not have the same requirements for smaller regions. It's a big headache, but that's the format.

Lastly, we're still open to finding ways to feature up and coming players, so if you have ideas, hit me up.

You could look at the players "brand". Like do people know an X player if you just mention them by name etc.
Another way to feature up'n'comming players is to lower the requirement of feature to top 32 in a premier tournament (which is the current playoff-bracket in the new WCS system).

I wanted to put in a more subjective measure like you suggested, but I'm worried that people will accuse me of favoritism. That will deeeefinitely happen.

I have one more trick up my sleeve for next month tho

Temporary Featured Streamers of the Month

Due to the recent WCS changes, it became necessary for us to revisit the featured streamer requirements and adjust them for the new system in 2016. Sadly, the new system has a Challenger league that is of no use for helping us feature new and up-coming-streamers in an objective and fair way. If we were to feature every single streamer that made the various Challenger leagues around the globe, then it would effectively make the list meaningless. However, we would have been accused of favoritism if we decided to pick some and not others who had similar qualifications.

After much contemplation, I've decided that the best way to go about this is to have a small list of "temporary featured streamers of the month", where we give a temporary feature to the streamers on the cusp of making the list due to their qualifications (tournament placings, quality of work, streamer numbers, etc). Their feature will last for an entire month, and if they are able to prove that that they deserve to stay featured then they will stay featured. It becomes imperative, then, for these streamers to continue working on their streams during this period in order to stay on the list.

    Temporary Featured Streamers of the Month
  • 3 streamers per month, lasts the entire month
  • Chosen from on-the-cusp streamers and pro players who stream often
  • Preference will be given to streamers from different regions, if possible
  • Feature can be revoked should the streamer go inactive, exhibit unacceptable behavior, or viewbot/cheat/hack
  • Feature expires at the end of the month
    • If the streamer maintains 150+ viewers for a majority of the period, he will keep his featured status
    • If the streamer's numbers do not improve, then he will lose his featured status

  • Previous Temporary Featured Streamers may be featured again


For the month of April, I've chosen the following three streamers

  1. deth - If you follow Maynarde on twitter at all, then you should know about deth.
  2. NoRegret - The Canadian zerg is off to Korea to follow his dreams, and practicing at the MVP house is certain to teach him a thing or two. He's also a popular streamer, and worth checking out.
  3. Lillekanin - While he has had a spotty record in the past, we always try to give second chances. He is one of the more experienced players in premier tournaments currently not on the list, so he definitely has the skill.
