Hi everyone.
I can list the good posters left on these forums on one hand. In no particular order,
1. casper
2. newbsaibot
3. sickoflife
4. frozenarbiter
5. moltke
The staff members, as well as bigballs and nony, go without saying.
What ever happened to these forums? Not so long ago, I used to enjoy coming here and browsing and reading through just about every thread.
If you're not on this list, the next time you make a post you should stop and think to yourself, 'Does this post have a point? Does it obey the 10 commandments?'
If it doesn't, then don't click that post button and save us all the migraine.
Opinions? Comments? Post away.

It's hard to make good posts in shitty threads
|
Someone needs to lay down the hammer. The admin team has been too lenient.

Good ratio for a broodwar forum

Do you know how many people we ban?
I'm pretty sure our forum is #1 when it comes to ban numbers (versus size) on the internet.

Yeah I regulary check the admin response time and its good

in related news your list is bullshit, 2 of those posters suck ass and there are OBVIOUSLY more than 5 (+ admins etc) good posters on this site. also in your request for people to follow the ten commandments you fail to take into account that no-one cares if they are or arent on your list anyway...

I could definitely ban more but well.. I'm not grumpy enough.
I'm willing to take a couple of sacrifices for the greater good of this site
My list is purely subjectional. My point isn't that there are only 5 good posters on this forum, but rather for every handful of good posts there is a mountain of horrible shitty posts. I'm not asking for more bans, just a closer watch on these forums. If bad posts were minimized, quality discussion might some how creep its way back into the community. At least, that's the logic behind my thinking.

No, you're wrong. There are only 5 good posters that still visit these forums. Everyone wants to be on my list and thus they will listen to what I have to say.
My list is just personal opinion. It's not a definitive list. The point behind making it is to say that a good majority of the content of this site is horrible and uninteresting. If people were to just take a look at the 10 commandments then actually follow them, the quality of these forums would dramatically increase as far as I'm concerned.
Mensrea and the rest of the admin team didn't create the 10 commandments for ornamental purposes (or at least, I hope.)

Hi SoMuchBetter
Why am i not on your list?
=(
|
those other 4 posters u linked suck ioi
|
psssh...why do u people even care whos bad...who should be banned...im not having fun on these forums because of idiots...its all stupid..damn
people go on forums to find out stuff and talk about things they like, or about things they hate in life. sure people got their own opinions and express it differently these are guys u guys call idiots some are idiots yea but most just came from another forum and havent adjusted
btw its still just a forum theyll get banned so stop makn these ugly shitty threads that no good post will come out from
|
How is casper on there? He just makes shitty one line posts with "ioi" at the end.

Nostalgia is the most overriding human emotion.

Hi SoMuchBetter.
My point is: in order to post this, I assume you must think you're on someone's 5 good posters list. Otherwise, you would know that you're not obeying the 10 commandments and therefore wouldn't post such thing as "Does it obey the 10 commandments?".
Well, it took me some time to think about it, and here's my conclusion:
YOU'RE NOT ON MINE.

Hell, why is that? You and Sickoflife are just complaining about the admin's way of ruling this place (and yet you remind us how great their contribution is). Seriously, you cannot expect those boards to be whatever you want them to be. If you want them to be a better place, make sure you're doing your best to help.
Bitching is probably the worst way to do so.
|
ugh, why are you posting this. Nothing is going to happen because of it besides lots of flaming and fanboys standing up for their favorite posters(Chris307 is the best ever ) and I really think you are no where even close to my top 5 if the truth were to be known.
|
atleast 10 idiots per week get banned, now if you look at the size of this site, you'll notice that's a lot of trash that is being taken out.

I understand, but if the problem persists then maybe it isn't enough? Or does the solution not lie in banning?

SoMuchBetter is so good of a poster it allows him to make these broad, sweeping complaints about the lowly inhabitants of teamliquid who dream of one day making his list...
so that they may one day become more than just a poster...
to become something else entirely...
(which is?)
a legend, mr wayne.

How is this relevant to anything? Stop acting like this forum is your personal playground and that the admins are shitty janitors or something. It's annoying.
On the same token, you're a poster, do whatever the fuck you want but just remember that others will too and there is no point in trying to regulate that unless you are an administrator. Then I could spend time trying to tell you how to better spend your time but then that would be both stupid and redundant.
Oooh, I posted my opinion, let me go and check off the ten commandments to make sure I did not make a mistake.
Edit: I've been a registered user since November 2002 but I have visited this site since September 2002. I have only once, ONCE recommended that a person be banned. At least to an admin and seriously.
Edit2: Oh, and I'm not a saint, not at all.

This forum is sick of you and SickOfLife bitching about how you're sick of this forum. Welcome to the internet. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.
I am also sick of your posts and sickoflife's posts and think both of you including many people on your list are the least contributive, most unintelligent and stupid posters on this forum. If I were to list the best posters on this forum, it would never include you or most of the people on your list. If you admit that posting quality is "subjectional" (did I mention unintelligent?), and clearly it is given the lack of consensus of most replies here, then your view of how this forum is getting worse is subjective as well, which is why I'm wondering why you assume the majority of posters here share your opinion. (I'll give you a hint: they don't!)

remove newsaibot and insert one of the koreans that do translations

missed the point, didn't you, everybody'
My point isn't that there are only 5 good posters on this forum, but rather for every handful of good posts there is a mountain of horrible shitty posts.
Now we have eveyrone flaming in this thread which does not vouch for the quality of this forum.The said the quality has indeed decreased, for two reasons mainly - 1) fewer interesting people, and 2) reduced interest for starcraft.
There are still quite a few interseting people on the forums but fewer than before.

add MPXMX to list of good posters
everyone else fucking sucks
i remember back in the day when it wasnt a set of rules to be followed, but a question of whether or not the people in charge wanted you to post on their website
its my fucking birthday andive just got home an im very very drunk but the sentiment remains, it just takes much alcohol for me to care enough about this site to post at all
fuck why do you people think i left in the first place

While most people don't like me much, I used to contribute a lot. However, all the new people posting who really don't know what they're talking about, as well as lots of flaming anytime I try to argue something (because people disagree with me to the point of not really listening to what I have to say : ) made me lose interest in posting here. I still read the live game reports, and a few threads here and there.

You mean like when Psylo and I each amassed about 300 posts in his 9/11 thread? (=

"I'm willing to take a couple of sacrifices for the greater good of this site"
this is the wrong attitude (wanting to risk banning good posters in order to attempt a utopia). doing that is like utilitarianism, killing 1 for the 99 and so on until you have 1 person left.
a real sacrifice would be giving people room to grow and learn from mistakes instead of hoping everyone appears on this forume exactly to one person's liking.

If you want this stie to de better you need two things:
1) Get less retarded rules and start enforcing them.
2) Find some way to encourage people to contribute.
|
good people are afraid to discuss interesting things and make good comments
|
I notice SickofLife isn't on that list. =) Maybe he should ban himself.
