So to start, could I ask why we won't allow the thread to continue into Day 1 with a mod note announcing the stricter moderation and the links to the important posts in the OP more or less the same as any other LR thread? In the end it doesn't make much difference between 100 pages of spam and 1000. Also, can we get a slightly more detailed account of how the mods reached the decision to close the thread and the interim between that decision and Zealously's announcement? | ||

I think you're being unfair in saying that "it's not our fault rules weren't enforced". No, obviously we're responsible for enforcing rules and could have dropped the hammer on people making eleven posts in a row of filling entire pages with posts no longer than 8 characters. We figured there was no harm in letting things run like this for a while before the biggest tournament of the year, but the majority of staff members agree that this thread isn't practical for the actual purpose of being an LR thread dedicated to the tournament itself. | ||

Besides, it hasn't devolved into complete chaos. The memories of the Ukraine thread still makes me laugh my ass off. | ||

My only criticism is the staff waited too long to make a decision. I want to strongly second this. That the thread was made early was fine, that it turned into 1000 pages of people just chatting about whatever is not. I feel that this is supposed to be a forum, not a chat room to talk about how passionate we are. It also indirectly discourages new people from participating, because they see 1000 pages of talking and don't want to read through them. | ||

Let's just look at some random pages... http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-tournaments/434069-wcs-global-finals-2013-day-1?page=100 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-tournaments/434069-wcs-global-finals-2013-day-1?page=95 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-tournaments/434069-wcs-global-finals-2013-day-1?page=400 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-tournaments/434069-wcs-global-finals-2013-day-1?page=114 I agree with Sentinel, there should be a mod note at the top to say moderation is going to be normal strictness again, and all is good. | ||

I agree with this too. I don't see why a thread of 1000 pages would discourage casuals and new people to participate, not that they're going to read the 20k posts in them after all  | ||

And yes there was a ton of shitposting in this thread, but there was also actual hype content created. | ||

I personally think that just making rules apply with a note is enough. There is no point in making another thread when all of the hype/predictions/power ranks/pics... Are in this one On October 29 2014 19:58 Dumbledore wrote: The fan art in this thread is epic And this | ||

For example a power rank or prediction post that's in the current "LR" thread. Would I be allowed to re-post in the new thread? I really don't just want something that I spent hours working on being just linked to... | ||
