So many genuine questions left unanswered in this thread...

Anyways - has the policy on homework threads changed?

How expensive is it paying for a team? ie Team Liquid.

If Liquid.Huk killed a hooker, would it be your job to get rid of her since you're manager.

Why isn't there a Post Rating system?

Like if someone makes a good/bad post that you agree/disagree with then you just press a button that counts and shows the total post rating (agrees - disagrees = total post rating).

The benefit to this would give people the opportunity to voice their opinions without even making a post. I know you guys warn/ban people for just saying "+1" or just simply quoting that person; even more people just quote them and say little more than that they agree because of this. A system like that would give them no excuse to make a post like that that doesn't contribute at all. It would make good opinions stick out above all the filth.

If you count the total post rating of every post a particular person makes it might even help you decide when someone is worthy of a "Quality Poster Star". Might help you decide when someone should be banned too now that I think about it.

I'm sure there are good reasons not to do this I just haven't figured them out yet. Please explain!

(you did say anything o.O)

This may some day be implemented if we feel we can't manage to find a proper balance in the forums anymore. In a well maintained forum where bad posters should be avoided altogether I'm against such a rating system.

It opens the door for bias and abuse and isn't necessary if your forum is high quality all around.

Why did teamliquid start? How did you all(admins) come to know each other and get where you are now?


The players squad started just like a lot of other clan/team to create a high skilled group of players who can hang our and play together and be part of something together.

This site was later on created to be the best news site. Using the good reputation of the team to get people to visit and quality news and forums to keep them around. The motivation for this was that every site out there sucked really hard and the feeling that our SC:BW community deserved better than what was out there.

why not keep track of stats per-user tracking the results of that user's reports so when a report is submitted something such as:

"x previous reports from this user, y resulted in a closed thread (a%), z resulted in warning/ban (b%)"

then you can track how often that user's reports are on the money

yeah and while we're at it since mods don't care about their ban stats can us normal users get report stats contests and winners at the end of a season gets to be a banling? :D

WE MUST KNOW! I'm calling it now that TL is pretty tight knit, so I could see it.

I'm sure there's some new SC conspiracy that includes some thrilling murder plot. Clearly the betting scandals are only scratching the surface. Why, the mafia is even dipping their fingers into SC (of course, right?)!

There is no notable abuse. Raising it would be based on a sense of deserving and the fact that reports happen way more often by vets already.

If TL staff had a potluck dinner who would be trusted only with buying the soda?

Definitely Naz.

Though I heard he can make bacon now.

Naz, what is the way to cook a proper bacon? I've got some 'n the fridge and am willing to wake up before work tomorrow to implement your advice.

How come staff (except micronesia) don't attend NYC LAN meetups?
Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.

This wouldn't be a good idea, because reports must be measured in quality not quantity. False/weak reports are a waste of time for mods. We don't need a contest though; the mods already notice quality reporters!

Kind of curious about this too.

The second question is kind of funny, but the first one is more interesting.
We do not need numbers, but just what exactly does the team have to cover in term of player's expenses.

Further on D4L[invd]'s question, how many servers does TL have and how big are they? How much do you pay yearly to manage the domain/servers?

Why is advertising not more prevalent on the TL website?

What is the deal with sponsoring a team? Is the amount of exposure on the team site / uniform cost based?

How closely affiliated with oGs is TL? I know the live in the same house, but do they share same management, or is the living location just a convenience thing?

Oh well done, sir. Also, in my research, I didn't find a difference between African and European, so you can stick with whatever you know for it. As for the Korean, I'll go ahead and divulge that it involves averaging the APM of every Korean player (in other words, it's over 9000).

Why isn't there a way for a logged in user to go to the first unread post in a thread? Possibly by clicking a small icon next to each thread listed?
