"I am in gold league but I watch the game a lot so I have a good understanding of it." "I know what to do, I just don't have the mechanics." As a result, you have people who know nothing about the game trying to argue with pros. Yes, this is the main problem. It's the same problem that existed in BW (except in BW mechanics holding someone back was actually a real possibility). The average SC2 poster/player is just way too arrogant and overestimates his strategic insight because he watched a few dailies. Humbleness is key. | ||

The talk of a higher level forum has been discussed for a long time, I think it's time to implement it. LOL, I can't believe this is an actual thing... How convenient to just copy paste this whenever appropriate. | ||

I don't see why people think pro's should post more, it just ignites mass dick-sucking and/or flaming. The forum that pros use is a team house, and it should stay that way. I don't even think pros should lurk here, TL is just a community of noobs trying to find an answer to something that pro's already know. i think u right sir  ( | ||

Am i the only one that notices how often people's good posts go ignored or unnoticed? I think sometimes that many people here seem to be here for entertainment rather than debate or discussion. + Show Spoiler + On January 03 2012 00:14 FLuE wrote: I love how people want eSports to be mainstream, and continue to grow but then are surprised when the natural progression that comes with that growth happens. You can't have it both ways, players that are getting more and more popular/famous and still have that personal interaction to the same degree as say TL BW or early SC2 prior to the popularity boom. I thought that the spoiler'd post was pretty good, for example... but nobody seems to have noticed it. Is the answer that people will do whatever the hell they want to do? Find out in the next episode~~ immediate edit: I rarely post but always lurk and see these unnoticed posts slip into obscurity ^^ | ||

What if TL had this system but instead of just admins of TL it also included pros? would be cool. But for reals, they need a pro only strategy section so we can weed through a lot of the amateur strategies. A pro only strategy form... hell even a gm only strategy form will have to few users posting, you might as well just watch a certain pro stream and see his ladder strategy ( many of them will explain them )rather than wait for him to have enough free time to make a post about it in a "special" forum where only other pros can comment on it and therefor you won't even be able to ask the question you might be able to in stream chat. And then say you extend that forum on "master only", you already have stupid ppl posting, as someone mentioned before the line in sc2 between understanding and just all ining a bunch with good mechanics and having luck is thin and even some of the small names pros are on the "bad" side of it. | ||

They'll get weeded out eventually and of course they branch out to other things. I don't expect the base to stay this way. Sure, we have a few more expansions to go-- Blizzard dragging out the process a little longer, but it will eventually happen. | ||

The average person on the internet is just is just way too arrogant and overestimates his insight, just because he read half of the topic name on an average forum. You can see that as good or bad, but the internet gives people the chance to discuss what they think, no matter if they have a clue or not. TLs moderation policy does something to stop the most idiotic posts, but the effort seems very huge to me and you can't really reach the goal on an open forum. | ||

Someone mentioned 2+2, I think the main reason threads are better there is that the poker hand is in the OP. Despite the purge, 90% of people responding to threads have not watched the replay nor have they ever intended to do so. | ||
