http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=53606 Sorry for not including them in the first place and thanks for responding. Edit: After reading most of the technology topics in the closed thread most look unresolved. | ||

Homework topics are banned from tl.net, tech threads as far as I know are not. | ||

When someone has some kind of software problem (remember veg's hilarious topic where he deleted rundll) I think they're fine. | ||

TL isnt an ideal place to do so unless the problem is BW/gaming specific in which case its not a bad place to post | ||

Treat others with respect often? It was a legitimate question and not all of the admins agree with you, how is that even right? | ||

If someone feels comfortable with the people they are around and know that their question will be answered when coming to a forum, what would make them want to search out another site? They should only do it because there are other places to get help? That just doesn't make sense to me. | ||

It was a legitimate question and not all of the admins agree with you, how is that even right? i don't see why you can't ask a tech forum or look up FAQs or use google rather than post here. this is a gaming site and shouldn't be treated as a tech support site. i agree with rek in this case, we should ban all tech support stuff that doesn't directly have to deal with brood war or video games. i guess i could see a thread about video cards used to play a certain game or why BW isn't working for you, but not about general tech help. | ||

I didn't say "Rekrul is an asshole for closing threads immediately. He hardly ever observes forum rules and is just an ass in general." So why is it okay that he responds the way that he did. The question isn't any longer about the tech help but the way in which it is being handled. No where in the rules of the forum does it say do not come here and ask about technology stuff. There is so much that goes on in the general forum that I was just curious as to why they were being closed. A simple, "we would like to try to keep the content as close to gaming as possible" would have been a better answer dont' you think? Edit: I keep reading over your post hot_bid...now I have no beef with you and I like you. However how do you feel justified by saying this is a gaming site so keep the content off the tech stuff. Have you even peaked in the general forum? How much of that is related to gaming? Once again I'm not questioning the job being done by the admins, I just don't understand what makes life help different from tech support help. Its not my forum so I can't enforce the rules, just simply asking. | ||

That just doesn't make sense to me. don't put words in my mouth - i didn't say tech support threads should all be closed, i said that dedicated tech support forum would be ridiculous. try your straw man idiocy elsewhere | ||
