So what's the difference between quality posters and highlighted users?

To me they both acknowledge a certain recognition, just one is more apparent than the other (and one's strictly for the Strat forum).

Quality Posters have gone above and beyond in doing something that has helped TL. No one gotten to be a Quality Poster by just posting a lot - they have always gone beyond simply posting. They have stars everywhere in the forum.

Highlighted Users are good at the same and post accurate advice. They are only highlighted in the strategy forum.

Seems completely different, I'm not sure where the hangup is on the distinction.


The hang-up was merely an understanding on my part: "To me they both acknowledge a certain recognition, just one is more apparent than the other (and one's strictly for the Strat forum)."

Thanks for the clarification.

Great stuff thanks. I already had my own messy way of doing this by bookmarking certain players profiles so I could just jump straight to their posts in big threads rather than trawling through all the shit.
One question though, why only the strategy section? A lot of the biggest discussions on SC2, balance, patches etc happen in the SC2 general section. It'd be just as useful to have highlighted posts there too.

I really like this idea, it will defo help in browsing through the big 10+ pages of strategy bickering that seems to go on in some threads and the fact that they are not just handing it out to anyone :p

Just by doing this,
You increase post quality.
This could do wonders. ^,^

Awesome addition.

This may not be the place to suggest it, but what are the chances of adding a feature that allows you to either only see highlighted posts in the thread, or skip to the next highlighted post? I find it tedious to wade through the 90% theorycraft to get to the 2 actual posts in each thread (this is only intended for really large threads obviously, as I'm not too lazy to click through 3 pages to see if anyone noteworthy responded).

The idea is that you just read the strategy forum as usual, and then a highlighted post jumps out at you. The intention isn't that you go around fishing for the highlighted posts.


Like I said before, I don't see why this wouldn't be helpful as well.

I think this an excellent solution to the problem where intelligent and good posters have their responses lost in the mountain of posts. Just as a suggestion for something to add, I would say to have a possible link like on the bnet forums that allows you to just to the next blue post.

Overall, I think this is a really good change and thank you for implementing it.

I like this a lot! As a relatively new user of TL, (Been lurking for about a year, signed up just before release.) I have found it discouraging to read the Strategy Forum simply because it was hard to sift through all the bullshit.

It also really reminds me of the "blue posts" on the Battle.net forums, which have been a major source of information over the years.


It's nice to get information you can rely on. Blue posts and to a lesser extent MVP posts, were pretty much the only thing I used to pay attention to on the B.net Forums. Although now that I've found TL (and barely play WoW anymore) I find little point in sticking my head into the shitstorm that is known as the Battle.net forums.
Y'know sometimes people ask me y'know like "What's your religion and stuff?" And I'm like "y' know it's like RTS." Uh, and they're like, "What's that?" And I'm like, "Y'know it's kinda like, kinda like Buddism."

Looks like a pretty elegant solution. I doubt it will resolve many problems, but it's a step in the right direction. I definitely had trusted sources memorized, but I didn't recognize everyone on that list, so I now have more people to look out for, with highlighting to boot! Also, the Strategy banning should make a big diference.

I would also like a "jump to highlighted poster" similar to how Blues work on B.net. But that would mostly be a convenience thing, not pressing at all. Thanks for the work involved!

I think people are getting too hung up with highlighted posts. They're not meant to be magnets. People shouldn't be scouring the forum searching for highlighted posts. They're just posts that demand attention if you happen to come across them in the normal process of reading the forum.

People want all these features for skipping the entire thread and jumping to highlighted posts, but that's seriously not the intent we had with highlighting users.

I like the idea, thanks. There needed to be some way to establish that what you're saying has legitimate knowledge behind it, which unfortunately is spotty when it goes on a name-recognition basis.

I think putting a little icon by a thread containing a blue post and direct linking the post below the title will show there is a useful response in it.

I mean, you can look at this system as either a way of making sure people know who to weigh more highly in a discussion so those people will post OR you can look at this system as a sort of Quality Control on the strategy forum because blue posts won't appear in threads that don't have enough useful discussion.

I'm not implying there is an XOR relationship but rather the opposite here. In my view, this system is to encourage skilled players to post and act as some form of Quality Control on threads. My claim is that if you mark the list of threads in such a way that blues are visible when casually browsing, you'll draw attention to useful thought out advice.

EDIT:
You should also add people who are respected amateur and semi-pro players rather than just pros as you have it now.

People on this list would include people like:

They post more often and offer sane advice because they know the game well enough to be aware of the fact that they have limits to their knowledge.

I rarely post in strat forum, but might start doing so now
There are people who are better posters but weaker players on the list than myself, so I wouldn't say they're mostly focusing on pro players. Good balance.

I'm pleasantly surprised by this. Glad to be part of the group and this will motivate me to post more advice in the strategy forum in the future, as well as more liquidpedia articles (which I have been doing a lot more of recently, check out protoss openings vs terran).

Finally implemented. I really like the idea and definitely think it is in the right direction. Anything that improve the strategy forum from what it currently is now in any small or large way is a plus in my book. Hopefully in the future, you guys can figure out a good system to help sieve through the informative post from the rest.
