I understand that the thread is getting increasingly off topic, but you could have left it till after OSL finals. I'm sure there would be a pretty good bit of last minute creativity. 
Seconded... please reopen. Or at least rename the thread into something like Starcraft Memes.

My thread was closed earlier by GMarshal, and I don't think it was necessary at all
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=367098
All the information in the OP came from the source I linked at the bottom. I didn't want to create a wall of text, because I think that causes people to dismiss the thread. I wanted to keep the OP short and concise to prevent people from ignoring the information presented.
Also, he said there was a lot of "my country is better than yours!!1!" going on. I read through the entire thread and I didn't see a single post like that, except for a few obviously sarcastic troll posts that should have been modded individually. There was plenty of informative discussion going on. Also, it's obvious that this topic is relevant to a lot of TL users given that it got over 500 votes and 190 posts in the 11 hours it was open. I'd really appreciate it if a mod re-opened my thread.
Thanks.

Right now the US military has:
90,000+ troops in Afghanistan
50,000+ troops in Germany
35,000+ troops in Japan
28,000+ troops in Korea
15,000+ troops in Kuwait
10,000+ troops in Italy
9,000+ troops in the UK
etc.
I think this is quite excessive. In fact, I think that every single one of these soldiers should be brought home. I'm curious what other TL users think about this.
Is the entire content of your OP that was written by your hands, sans the poll and a copy/pasted link. There is not valid discussion as to why those troops are there, there is no reason why you would like to see them return to the US, what the benefits and risks of both staying and leaving are. It's just "here's some numbers, lets go home, who agrees?"
When the bulk of your post is the poll you're using in it, it's generally frowned upon. To guide the discussion, there probably should have been more facts, and more opinion.

No effort op.
Your OP is just a link and a line of text, how much clearer could it get?

But there is no need for addiotional text. Is that simple. you just enjoy what i posted. In this case the funny reaction of larva. If the thread is worth creating, people will laugh and comment and it will show that should be not closed.

Hello citizens!
In a neverending battle against threads that contain nothing but a single YouTube video and a text-based smiling face, we have decided to act upon the totalitarian power granted to us by the US Patriot Act. As such, all YouTube videos are to be posted in this thread alone, and offendors will have their threads bound in shackles and then swung from the gallows.

I see now. Ok but there should be thread in every section or smth with rules. I didn found one in bw forum. Anyway i wont post it again cuz i got feeling even with more words etc. it will be closed again so i will post in that thread with youtube videos. Sadly my video is more related to bw fans, not just a funny video.

Finding the best TvZ players can be done by reading and watching replays. No one else is going to get any value from this thread except you.
Sorry for the late reply, but to think that no one else on these forums would ever benefit from knowing the top TvZ players is very myopic. That's just the sort of thing people will search for and help make the site a valuable resource. Also, never waste your time doing research that has already been done by someone else. It's pretty obvious there was a clear cut, top 3 or so TvZ players at the time I asked about it. Trying to brute force discover and somehow know I am right about who is best by watching random replays would be a foolish waste of time. Just be honest, you guys don't like new threads here. It had nothing to do with the quality of or relevance of the question to the subforum in which it was posted, or even how "reuseable" such a thread on that topic would be.

Just be honest, you guys don't like new threads here that don't follow the commandments and guidelines set for them.
This is what you wanted to say I think?

The fact you refer to them as "commandments" just bolsters my point. Elitist jerks don't get it I guess. Maybe some kids in the future won't want to have to pick 100 replays out of a hat and discover on their own, the very best hands down TvZ players? Instead they can find it on here, in said thread. You know... like helping people which is what communities are good for?

Yes they are actually called commandments on this site. You can call it elitist all you want but this site has a set of rules stricter than most other sites do, you don't have to like them but if you want to keep using the site you better obey them. Those rules and the moderation staff is why I value this site so much, maybe it's elitism to you but to me this site is way above the standards of most sites of equal size. Also calling people elitist jerks doesn't really support your case.

I'm not surprised at all. I actually meant the plural form of "you".
Just curious, why would a thread like this http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=20078 be OK, but a thread saying hey watch video X because it's nifty NOT be ok? Was it just a case of pandering to a mod OP in that example? Or harkens back to a simpler time for TL?

The last one - that thread is from 2004 and the standards have changed since then. Specifically, around late 2009/early 2010 when there was a massive influx of new members due to the SC2 beta.

Yes. It harkens back to eight years ago.

It is well known that veterans get more leeway because they have contributed more to the forums. For a recent example - [H] Ideas for 20k. Finding examples from years ago does not help your case since a bad/duplicate thread is still a bad/duplicate thread. Was Beyonder already a mod back then?
