TL having standards has nothing to do with Dota being on this site or that.There's plenty of other sites that let you flame MOBAs, they're just not as good since their forums get clogged by whiney bullshit.
I think esports is pretty nice.

Team Liquid is not just a website about SC2(/Dota/HS). It is a business. And if people like MOBAs more, then they should like MOBAs more if they want to have a chance to "survive" in the e-gaming scene. So there may be an implicit preference about MOBAs and so they treat their MOBA users friendlier.

Tl will always be a sc website.deal with it.it has been a sc website since 2004 and no dota or lota or w.e will change that.
And yes, the sc franchise is more sophisticated mechanically and far more competitive (kespa) than any other game and i dont have a problem with it not being mainstream like moba games which come and go like flies.

Yeah, you're off the mark lol. TL staff actively hate and avoid LoL, the current biggest esport. It isn't about business to them.

I disagree. MOBA bashing shouldn't be OK.

But it's really obnoxious how much people can hate on SC2 without getting any form of warning or something.

So, did the guy who wrote "stupid Starcraft" in the OP quote get a warn? If he didn't, then the OP may have a point like "if he can, why can't I?".

Everything else aside, saying we 'hate' LoL is not true. Our reasons for not having LoL are much deeper than 'we hate LoL'.

Because moderation isn't perfect, and we don't have a team of hundreds of people reading the forums? Its what the report button is for. In general game bashing, of any sort is a no-no, and we're never going to let people bash games. I don't especially care if you're flaming LoL, SC2, DotA, MtG, Dominons 4, or any other game, there is a difference between rational discourse and "HAHAHA, GAME X IS SO LOW SKILLS AND FOR NOOBS!"

Its untrue that staff hates LoL, check Nazgul's little AMA in the LoL forum here, but that mental image of tl staff hating league has been, and is wrong.

OP, I feel like, as a foundation SC2 site, TL should moderate slightly more harshly against people who spew negative bs about it.

A bias towards SC2 should be expected and tolerated. On the other hand, "game bashing", which is unreasonably, any game will never lead to a positive community..... it's just bad dialogue

This kind of catharsis serves no point, and only makes for increased incidents of internet pissing matches between users. The fact I haven't seen an instance of a game bashing related bans in the ABL for sometime is a good thing. Flashback a couple of years and it was a far more common occurance.

TL is a place for more directed conversations about SC2 than other forums, namely /r/starcraft allow for (by virtue of the format and much more active moderation), not allowing for tired jokes about the qualities of other games doesn't make it less of an SC site.

You can have opinions on whatever you want, just don't be an ass about how you express them, or preface them with, "I'll get banned for this," and own your statement.

I would also say you are failing to account for existing rapport between mods and users.

TL.net was founded on Starcraft / Brood War, so it applies to SC2 as well I assume. It has expanded with DotA/Melee as well which I have no problems with, but one must never forget the site's roots.

Fair enough, but it's a bit hard to believe it's a coincidence that ALL (there were like 10) the negative comments about dota were noticed and received a warning, whereas this was not. And that (BabyKnight retires) thread isn't the only one I've noticed this trend in.

Also, I'm going to provide a longer response to this in an hour or so.


I seem to have hijacked the thread.

The main point of that post was the end of it, the moderation of bashing isn't about business.
