He is doing an amazing thing and raising money for the dieing children in Africa, he is currently at 290k towards his 1 million goal. With 81 days left out of the 100 that he originally started with. I really feel, and so do many, regardless of what you think of Athene, that awareness has to be raised around this project. Mods : if you do delete this without a response i will be seriously disappointed in how this forum is run. | ||

Insta-close Athene policy predates me being a banling so I don't really know. But it seems to me he's pariah on TL due to his attention seeking trolling. A charity event doesn't erase that. There's a lot of charities out there and TL doesn't need to suddenly back his. | ||

Pretty terrible excuse to say that it doesnt "erase that" as if this actually has anything to do with athene, all he is doing is SUPPORTING the event by streaming every day and actually going on a hunger strike for 4 weeks. TL doesnt have to "back" anything, in fact, mods do actually LESS work than they are doing currently. This is a public forum, and it should act as such. I'm in no way am i attacking you Falling btw, im attacking TL's policy on this matter. | ||

TL doesnt have to "back" anything, in fact, mods do actually LESS work than they are doing currently. This is a public forum, and it should act as such. It's actually a public forum but under the rules and decisions of Team Liquid. It's a priviledge to post here, a very basic one, but a priviledge nonetheless. The reason Athene topics, of any kind, are typically dismissed is not because it's Athene (though, the two do overlap with previous topics being about him and really nothing much to discuss), but because TL doesn't want to be a space to plaster all forms of projects there. Athene's charity is great, all charities are! But to allow it on the forums would be to allow a non-community member's charities equally on the forums and then it builds from there. It needs to have an actual connection to Team Liquid beyond the umbrella of video-gaming. If Athene was someone active on the forums as well as within StarCraft II majorly, I don't know; maybe staff would be more lenient. That's my personal take on the issue Guess raising 290k in 19 days isnt enough for the incredible ~$80,000 that the starcraft 2 community has ever raised in its 2 year existence, glad to see TL being logical as always. He seems to be doing fine without a topic of it on Team Liquid :3 I'll try and reiterate with examples.

No irony, Destiny comes from Team Liquid, performs interviews for Team Liquid and is personally intertwined with the community and on the forums (on top of that, he did a charity with Liquid Sheth, of course Team Liquid accepts that). The rationale stands. | ||

The only reason he comes to this website is for news and to stream, he doesnt add anything to the TL forums at all. Similar to athene. Oh the irony. Destiny is a member of this community, not someone that is basically a forbidden subject, kind of like Combat-EX or Deezer. | ||

1. THIS IS OUR HOUSE You are our guests. We will make all attempts to treat everyone with due respect and to accommodate everyone's wishes as far as reasonably possible. But, this is a private site. We are not a "for profit" enterprise. We are not funded by any governments. This means we run the site the way we see fit. We are not obligated to observe anyone's notions of "free speech" or even "fairness." We try of course, and that's why we're consistently considered one of the best gaming sites on the web, and you are always free to give us suggestions (Website Feedback Forum). But, we have our limits. If we don't like you, we simply ban you. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=17883 It's not a public forum and so you have to view the rules as not entirely objective. | ||

Team Liquid is a community formed with StarCraft as its direction, but acknowledges subcultures and groups with diversified interests. So the commonality is that most people here enjoy StarCraft or support Team Liquid in one form or another. Sports and Games is acknowledging the variety of interests these members have (and accepting that their life and pastimes are more than just one game, but bridge friendships and relationships overcoming the singularity of it all). The rationale stands. | ||
