The easiest way to participate is to hang out in Discord: https://discord.gg/0lCEKA3jUEH06D0Q Also be sure to join the LDIH chat channel in game (just search LDIH, it'll say LiquidDota Inhouse League)
I don't even comprehend where you saw a "private club with VIPs and peasants" or a supposedly takeover of the the "true TLIH" by whatever hostile combination. I cannot think of any concrete case of the people you call out acting as if any of them own the place. As Bluemoon already pointed out he did clearly tell people to stop and I would consider most of the "flaming" you think you saw as banter or maybe give some concrete examples on what you think was so bad that it kills TLIH for you. Admittedly I probably did cross the line a bit in regards to shrinkz but that is hardly encouraging the shitshow.
Wow a full page and a half of drama from when I'm not there. Oh boy.

Agreed, this is on Emu/Myself mainly to handle this. Ideally we could let anyone be the host of the lobby, but it seems that every time that someone outside of the norm (Me/Blue/Phoenix) hosts there are issues. If things like this continue then I'll just have to make designated lobby hosts.

I know he was asked to not draft already and he didn't listen, but if it comes from staff and we make the consequences clear it should be more effective.
This 100%. No one should ever draft every time that they play and we will need people to enforce that. This is why I think we need to start having designated lobby leaders.

1) Don't be that guy who locks into games always. If you've played three in a row and there's people who haven't had a turn, give a space to them.
2) Don't be that guy who instalocks captain. I would almost suggest everyone should be allowed a captain position at least once per inhouse. Rotate out captain position, else we end up with the same people doing it over and over and we end up with some issues where people who aren't very good drafters or communicators lead to problems.
3) Keep the flaming out of Discord. There's a time for some banter and jokes, and there's telling someone to "Go kill yourself" without a hint of friendliness. If you have problems, PM them or ask a TL staff member.
4) Remember, it's for fun, but if you're the only one having fun there's a problem. If your drafts aren't communicated well or done without consulting your team members what they want, you're going to end up with a Shrink problem. Please, please please ask your teammates what they want.
This is a good write-up and probably should be an unofficial set of rules for right now. If there are real issues then get in touch with a mod (or in the future, one of the lobby leaders). Going off on people in discord doesn't solve anything.
At the end of the day these are supposed to be stupid and fun. I don't really want to have to do a whole list of 'this is how you will act when you play TLIH' but if that's what it takes then I guess I will :/
We dont need new rules.The drafts ,the heroes,the tryhards all these are excusses for people to flame.Players like alur rocketbear ,firebolt ,xyberia a lot of times played with drafts by lower skilled players and they didnt make a scene.You cant agree with every games picks.Who are these 2-3kers with such demands? Btw who is the guy in bluemoons first minute video who said the solution is to keep flaming him until he stops plays? Is he hacker or shiaopi? There are solutions if you got a brain.Firebolt banned tube and BOX was leaving when they took his draft after 2 rehost nobody took it again.
Shrink, people expressed their opinion last time around when you drafted meepo into one of the worst line ups ever, and then proceeded to buy shit items on meepo. I wasn't even there and I heard about it, that is how strongly the opinions were expressed. People got more aggressive because you didn't seem to give a fuck and just drafted other weird line ups.
I apologize if my flame was over the top, I was pretty frustrated after the weird carry tree ent game.

Yeah, that's a joke and there is plenty of evidence in the thread that shows how the higher skilled players have felt about playing with low level guys that don't listen to anyone about what to do. Nobody has ever said 'players must be this good to play here' but what has always been asked is that people listen and communicate to each other. If that isn't happening on its own then clearly we need to start enforcing ways of making that happen. Flaming has always been unacceptable, and we have punished people in the past for it (just as we will in the future if needed), but shit goes both ways and if a person is generally being uncooperative and doing their own thing, then maybe this isn't a good place for them. For the record I do not believe that anyone playing in these right now falls under that category.
This situation has been poorly handled to say the least. To pretend this situation is on any one person is an outright lie. Everybody who was involved is at fault here IMO and I would hope that we can all take a little bit from this idiocy and move along. If we can't and these issues come up in the future, then we'll just have to see what to do from there. For now I would recommend that everyone just leave it in the past.

No offense, but you seem to be remembering a lot of things incorrectly, because Rocketbear cried about bad players more than anyone. Like he openly flamed and quit TLIH because of frustration in the same manner as Stancel just did
And while Alurr didn't flame or complain directly, he definitely quit because of the low level players.
People used to dodge teammates and arrange drafts way more back in the day as well.
Yea we are completely agree i m complaining about drafts too, but in a time the flaming became more unbearable than the bad draft. Also comparing rocketbears alurs xyberias attitude with tunas shiaopis and hackers is insulting for the firsts.
I don't know how I got dragged into this, but I'd appreciate my name not being dragged through the mud.
I played with Shrink drafting and specifically asked him simply to draft a playable line-up. He did, we played well, we won. It's not impossible. Other drafts of his were not great, I understand, but I did not endlessly flame him.
I picked drafter in a different game because I enjoy it, I got flamed for my draft despite asking my teammates for feedback, and we still crushed the game despite it and had a load of fun doing so. The next time I asked if anyone else wanted to draft and lo and behold, someone did. No controversy over not being drafter.
I agree with the rules suggested. I did not enjoy being flamed for my drafting, and I certainly don't enjoy listening to someone else being flamed continuously. This has simply gone too far.

tfw your inactive and still gets dragged into drama
Anyway Imma defend myself on this one because I think you remember it wrong. Or well, at least here's how I remember it.
The reason I quit TLIH was because it was like this every game:
So the shuffle balanced me with lower MMR players, which is fine >UNLESS< the enemy team just sits and shuts me down the entire game.
I played with a whole lot of plebs on my team in pubs, even had a plebstack. I don't mind playing with lower MMR players, it's just when the other team just spends the entire game trying to kill me it's get boring because I get no help in return. People didn't specifically target me in pubs, like people target Dendi when he plays pubs.
Yeah I got triggered by this a few times which made me flame players. If anyone felt insulted I apologize.. But mostly, when I did flame I flamed the way people played against me tbh. I didn't enjoy playing so I quit tlihs. If I had a lot more fun playing pubs why should I keep playing tlihs?
That's how I remember it and I'm pretty sure some players will remember what I just said

I don't mind as long as it's not personal. As for communication, I did forget to turn chat on.
