"YA!" "Well, search it again, because you missed it, three times in a row" And another tip: If the ONLY thing good to say is how much that person sucks at Starcraft (or whatever it is)... either take it to the Letting Off Steam thread or post something on another website + Show Spoiler [*cough*] + 4chan | ||

I also think it's very important to bring a large dose of humility when you start posting on TL. We're all smart about something, but very, very few of us are as smart about Starcraft as the established members of this community. It's very worthwhile to spend some time thinking before you post anything SC related: Do I 100% know that this is correct? And still to be ready to admit that you're wrong when a more knowledgable member of the community points out the flaws in your thinking. | ||

Seriously, I once saw a forum newbie talk about how Destiny and Spanishiwa should be great "bon jwas" (HE PUT A SPACE BETWEEN BON AND JWAS, WHAT THE FUCK?), and he was KILLED verbally by the collective of TL. | ||

Just pretend to be sad to get a post. -Follow the MOD warnings on top of certain threads e.g. When they say each post must contain a picture in the SFW Random Pic thread, they mean it. -If you aren't Diamond don't post for help in the Strategy section. If you aren't high Diamond or low Master don't post in there either to give advice. They say you can, but fuck it just don't you get banned every time. -We all know 70% of the community never watches replays/VODs, but don't actually say you can't and just get info from other posts and try to sum up a summary of what they say. Never say you are at work/can't watch it. -Don't quote someone and just say nothing, or this, or +1. Just say I agree and repeat his thesis for a free post. -If you want free posts go to LR threads and type OWNED or WOW WTF everytime a battle ends. -No one actually watches your replay packs if you aren't at least Grandmaster, they just comment and say you're good for a post. I feel like making a blog on getting around TL now. Almost every piece of advice you give starts good, but then careens off into inanity. My advice: don't listen to this guy. | ||

TL is also a great place to pick up and learn new things. I always search TL along with Google and Wikipedia. Threads I've found: Cooking Health and Fitness Science help/discussion TL Go Group FPS Servers MineCraft Server Local StarCraft fans There is a world of information in TL | ||

Be very tolerant in what you read, there are lots of unintentional trolls, and sometimes, you gotta skate over some of the more obnoxious people and read the good stuff. Have just enough common sense or else it's GG NO RE for your account. + Show Spoiler [An A to Z of TeamLiquid] + Always ask Milkis about casting Code A Brood War is an awesome game, if you haven't been exposed to it, watch some games and don't mind the graphics, it's how most of the good people in the forum grew to love pro-gaming Comment on SirJolt's blogs, he is the epitome of a pro-poster Do some community contributions, even LR reports are appreciated, like Moonbear does Elly the ESPORTS Elephant is the advocate of bringing gaming into the mainstream Final Edits are the top tier of articles you can find in Team Liquid, and are placed as Featured Threads when they are made, as they are the epitome of OPs you can have Grudgematches are the best way to bond with people via chat, they often result in hilarious bets as well HawaiianPig is the artist behind some of the most awesome news posts you'll find on the site, and the imagery behind Elly as well, IRC has some awesome conversation happening when you come in most of the time, and a hilarious thread containing the best lines from it also exists as well Jokes here should be spontaneous and original, using tired memes just guarantees you get a warning KwarK's Drake is a good start to asking about EvE, and there is a monstrous EvE thread and a Corporation of TL members you can be part of as well LoL is the MOBA game of choice of most TLers, so go into their subforum to learn about it Mafia is also a popular forum game as well, especially for forum veterans as they also have their own subforum Never assume that you know more than anyone else, there's always someone here who's bound to know certain aspects of your expertise more than you do Obvious trolls and troll traps can be reported if you do not have a report button by Private Messages to the moderators, but Rekrul is not one of them; if you want to know who he is, and ICCUPRaelcun as well, read their names backwards. Power Rank is the monthly ranking of Broodwar Players for their performances, and is an excellent resource in educated yourself on the history of BW players Quiet contribution trumps self-promotion in the forums, people like Roffles owes everyone his Mister dance video, and get him to do it with hazelynut and CaucasianAsian Support TeamLiquid and streamers by clicking on their ads if they interest you. Clickthroughs help make ads more relevant for the site and streamers Teamspeak is a TL sponsor for its Opens, as well as The Little App Factory for the team itself so support them by using their services; and buying them as well U Very few people actually get Forum Stars, but if you want to strive for one, leverage what you do know or have and be very good at it; it can be for something as complicated as SC2Gears, or as demanding on bandwidth as maintaining nevake for the Brood War video archive Writing Teams for BW and SC2 can always use community contributions to help out, even if it's just a team or player feature you are going mad over Xeris, MLGSundance, John the Translator in behalf of GOMTV and many other community event organizers have TL accounts and post official event news on them; be respectful of their contributions to the game, and be open and articulate with any criticism with regards to running their events Your presence and feedback can be the first step towards becoming a productive TL poster Zero would be how many members this site would have if not for your patronage and support. We are a community, and your perception of it is in how your interact. | ||
