If I've spoken in error, then you'll have my apologies, but I've been on TL for only a week; already the condescension makes me sore, without ever being the subject of it.

It seems to me that if you had to visit the strategy forum directly to find the one topic you missed out on, it isn't worth talking down at someone for asking a question in the wrong place. If I've spoken in error, then you'll have my apologies, but I've been on TL for only a week; already the condescension makes me sore, without ever being the subject of it. I asked why this was even a thread because threads like this usually get closed within 10 minutes. I guess mods take breaks on weekends too. If you found this first post condescending, then I am sorry, but I don't really see it changing, if you know what I mean. I don't speak from the perspective of a person who has visited TL for a while. I speak from the perspective of a person looking for good threads in the strategy section. So I am not bashing on him for being new. Yes, I apologize for making this into some sort of argument, as that too was really not my point. TL, I included, is very welcoming of new users. That doesn't mean, however, that you (and I mean him, not you) can come in here and do whatever you want. I realize that I became condescending in the second post, but that's because his reply was simply terrible and offensive. First of all, he doesn't admit that he's wrong, and assumes that he has the right to do whatever he wishes. His points, 1) not true 2) he expects mods to work with him, and since they don't, it's not his fault? 3) He comes back and calls me a troll. You see what I'm getting at here? You make a mistake, learn from it, no problem. But you can't come in here, make a mistake, not admit it, and then continue to think as if everything should go your way. Look at these three threads, this is how it usually goes: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=149857 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=150262 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=149190 Is there any harm done there? Not at all! Simple and easy: thread gets closed and the new user is pointed in the right direction. Next time, the new user will learn to use search/blog, and it's all cool. To address the strategy section comment, not as a rebuttal, but simply to touch on the point: I wasn't looking for a thread, I was just browsing, and this thread simply wasn't right. Shouldn't I be allowed to say, "hey, this shouldn't be here :\" ? To conclude I'd like to restate that TL is a welcoming community. It just doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want. Admit from your mistakes, learn from them, and you can contribute all you want, to everyone's benefit. | ||

It seems major enough for a thread of its own; I've seen [Q]-threads with much less important questions being allowed to exist.They just don't deserve their own thread in the strategy section | ||
