In the wake of one of the most anticipated Bo5's in years the TL Staff would like to remind you all about good posting habits in Live Report threads. Indeed, over the past few weeks the staff have noticed a severe deterioration in the quality of Live Report threads and from here on in 2 day bans will be issued freely by mods for poor posts in these threads.
Here are some examples from tonights Stars vs FoX match which will be ban worthy from now on.

OMFG NO GAY SHIT PLZ JUST DIE FREE
Calling progamers "fags", "homos", "pieces of shit", "fucking double cheesing fag" and the like are completely unacceptable. Maintain respectful towards progamers even if your favorite progamer just got cheesed into oblivion. Failure to do adhere will result in a ban.

KEEP CRYING TERRANS, PROTOSS "IMBA" JUST PWNED YOU ONCE AGAIN All caps posts which beg the opposing side to flame back are unacceptable as they lead to the thread becoming a shitfest. Failure to adhere will result in a ban.
Other things that will be ban worthy include
- PROTOSS IMBA (in caps or not)
- 1a2a3a jokes
- Moderate flaming/flame wars (to moderators discretion)
- Posting like a moron
- Anything a moderator deems bannable
- Posting simply "gg" before either player types out
To avoid being banned, simply think before you press post. Consider whether your post is adding anything to the discussion, making thread better in any way, and whether your post is respectful.
The moderators do not wish to kill the fun in the thread, so by all means, have a good time - but please be mindful of the quality of your posts.
Thanks
TL Staff
EDIT: For clarity, these standards are ONLY applicable to Live Report threads. You can 1a2a3a all you like anywhere else. Well, maybe not in strategy unless you have a deathwish...

wht about stuff like "OMG JAEDONGGGGGGGGGGGGGG" ? 
|
it's not that difficult to post civilly, right? just dont insult people and dont "shout", like normal people in normal conversation
|
I support this thread I was sad Stork got called a "fag" the other day .

Good thing, LR threads are supposed to be more permissive about less content hype one liners but they dont have to degenerate into mass flaming progamers.

I'm sure the point is to prevent offensive comments, rather than venting your frustration at the result.

Awesome!! Now there will be less rubbish to sort through

About time....haha, I hate it when fanboyism gets into us but who is to blame.
caps locked posts are valid right? especially when even the commentators get into it..?:D

No more hating on Kwanro 9 pool. Respect the 9 pool. All hail the zerg revolutionist.

Nice post plexa
Only thing I guess I disagree with is the banning of protoss imba jokes, I think they are an important part of the development of brood war culture :p
Like during the Xellos, Nada, oov, Boxer era everyone was constantly whining "terran imba"
When savior reigned you had good and respected players on this board arguing that defilers were imba and needed a nerf.
I think it's kinda funny that it's protoss' "turn" so to speak.

Thank you so much for this, I've been running around acting moral posting-police without much luck.
I'm gonna be pointing so much fingers in the near future *hiss hiss hiss, evil giggle etc*

Its gotten out of hand though, you can go to a thread in the general section with no relation to protoss or starcraft and suddenly someone bursts out with a "1a2a3a" joke.
Its obviously good if its in threads where the subject might be linked to the claims and its intelligent talking and not D level idiots trying to create excuses for losing.

wth is "moderate flaming"? I mean I agree on people mindlessly insulting should get banned, but a lil agitation is part of what makes progaming fun. FBH would agree with me. I mean when Savior beats FBH in an important bo5 or vice versa I would not like to miss the fanboys zynical comments. Its part of any sports and imo, the Starcraft fanboys are reaally mild, look at soccer fan songs or stuff..
