Please, if you are not staff, don't answer questions in this thread, even if you think you know the answer. Also, please take complains about bans, question about TL as a site, etc to the Website Feedback Forum. |

Well, I wasted my 1k on praising someone, a 2k trying to get on the 1k page on the banlist...and I don't remember my 3k
So....business as usual if I waste my 4k! 
EDIT: Because I expected me being more of a LR whore. Apparently I go on other parts of the website as well. Who knew

TL Staff,
Have you ever - or do you see yourself ever - attempting to get females involved with some sector of pro-gaming besides the stereotypical groupie ideal.. I saw this partially because I am a female gamer, and 2 because my name is Amanda.. if you catch my drift
Yours truly, another Micro Amanda

That's not too bad considering how potentially destructive it could have been! People was too busy complaining about polls or talking about LoL / Football to be banned ^^ Stupid work making me miss the football talk....I mentioned WoW again, but you weren't there to run with it  Also, the complaints were funny I thought. There may have been 1-2 valid points in there, but they were drowned int he overwhelming force of whine. Seeker don't ever change To be quite honest, I achieved something great unintentionally. By focusing all the whine and complaints on me and my polls, I effectively negated any bans for IdrA whine and complaints :D You are just too much man, for one man. And that's why he has another 5 of us around him :D
Another milestone wasted! Also, HeLkAt, I think there will always be opportunities for females in the sector as long as their name isn't Felicity. She's caused too much pain

Pholon doesn't care about the work. He wants another soldier in the war against TLPD.

I don't think being a "groupie ideal" is some sort of dark path that TL needs to steer people away from. That sort of thing is not really within our control. Females can be fans, players, etc too, they don't need our help becoming those things, they are choices they make themselves.
As for how they are treated on this website and in the gaming community in general, I think there's plenty of room for improvement. Do we want to get to a point where girls and guys are treated equally by everyone on the forums? Yes. Are we still far away from that right now? Also yes.
This past half year, we have tried hard, moderation wise, to crack down on our predominantly male audience attacking or objectifying women. I believe this has led to more women registering and posting and being open about it on TL. That's good. The more StarCraft fans, the better. I've even argued my fair share about women-only tournaments, usually against the slew of annoying bad "its discrimination against guys!!" posters.
That said, it's not easy, especially since oftentimes the worst types of female gamers get the most attention. I can sort of see a lot of gamer first, girl second kind of users rolling their eyes and sighing heavily at each "gurl gamer" scandal, the same way I kind of silently curse to myself every time I see William Hung on television.
Ultimately we want lots of female StarCraft players and fans, that's good for everyone and that's what we want to move toward. Meanwhile, like Pholon said, there are plenty of gender-neutral ways to contribute or participate. We've had a good number of TL staff that were female, whether they worked on TLPD, graphics, translation, etc.

To be fair I am just glad to see that I am getting some answers because I was looking at old female gamer posts and the last one is like from sometime in like early 2011. Thanks for everything that you guys have said and thanks for the offer Pholon. I was just hoping to get some sort of response on what some people were thinking about .
Thanks

Thanks  Some simple basic advice is that you got to practice shuffling on a constant basis and soon you'll blow away all your opponents. You can trust me, I'm an expert. + Show Spoiler +
