Very nice. This should get pinned to the top of the TL community forums. I advise all new users should read this, but I can understand if you scroll down and go HOLY WALL OF INFO (I did) but its worth the read and it summariezes how to be succesful here (I wouldn't know I only have a few dozen posts to my record, but I am assuming that the guy with 12000 knows his stuff) and how not to get killed by a banling (Calling them that from now on

) and is worth your time to read. That said, some people don't even read the first 10 commandments, which is kind of saddening.

Featured Stream section completed:+ Show Spoiler +

How do I become featured or how can I get someone I enjoy featured? To be featured or suggest someone to be featured is on a case-by-case basis. There are currently two categories that one can be featured if they meet the right criteria:

Other - Notable characters or members of the community that offer an entertaining live stream. The criteria for this category are both: 1. Notability
2. Content (ie not just rebroadcasts, or pre-event viewer building).

For Players - Professionals who have reached a significant height of great gameplay and strategy in their games. The criteria to meet this featured category are: 1. High skill level / tournament results
2. High average viewer count
3. Notability / contribution
4. Activity

This revision was made on November 1st, 2011 to which they reiterate:
How to become featured?

We will be reviewing featured streams every few months, and will be adding and removing featured streams accordingly. Just because a player was removed at this time does not mean he will never be added again.

The best way to become featured is to gain viewers, win tournaments, or a combination of both. Again, we understand it is difficult to "gain viewers" without being featured, but we feel that featured status is something that recognizes popular and skilled players, not a vehicle to make players popular or skilled.

For example, we are featuring It's Gosu's Gatored for the next month or so due to his results at IEM New York (beat coLMVP_DRG 2-1 in groups, 3-0 vs oGsTOP in the RO8). If he can maintain a high number of viewers and continue having good results, he will remain featured.

Similarly, we would automatically feature any players that qualified for the current Code A season if they requested it.

For discussion, suggestions of people who you feel should be featured, try their http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=281401. Teams, organizations and event streams will not be featured unfortunately (however, during events, they will have the event section/status to notify people of events and their associated streams).

Partner Portals section has been completed

+ Show Spoiler +

Starting on October 13th at the top-right corner, you can find "Portals" or entrances to various "hubs" of liquipedia information pertaining to the currently largest events of StarCraft II such as:

These portals is the place to be to find all relevant and up-to-the-minute updates and information about each event as they go on, as new ones are announced and old events become archived with replays, analysis and commentary. Of course, like all Liquipedia articles, they need your help, contribution and following!

This should be on the TL home always. Unfortunately, even if it was there that is no guarantee that people would read it which is a shame indeed

Unfortunately, the length of this is substantial, so I doubt anyone would read.
To add to that, I have to make a new section because of recent changes, so this is getting much larger now.

Beginning the new section: Customizing your Team Liquid: problem is that I'm having trouble figuring where to fit it in. I believe it'll be put after everything is explained. Can't customize something you don't know or recognize.

First part done, going to do the other within the next hour or two.
Edit: Second part.

Now to do the last part.

Added an addendum to the "Other Ten Commandments" section involving previously banned community and/or professional players and the need to advocate for their release/unbanning.
