I have always loved TL because of the vast amount of help that you can receive from the people here. However as of late we can't seem to get any help because a lot of the threads are being closed immediately. My thread was closed and then reopened because two admins had no idea why it was closed. I just found another help thread for computer help by someone who genuinely needed help and it was immediately closed.

Why is this going on?

Link them please? Easier to respond when we know which are you talking about.

Sorry for not including them in the first place and thanks for responding.

Edit: After reading most of the technology topics in the closed thread most look unresolved.

Maybe I've been out of it for a while so I don't know if there was a recent crackdown on those type of help threads, but I have no idea why either of them were closed in the first place

That and Rekrul's ":-)" in the other thread he was referring to.

I guess it was just some misclicks from a pretty buzzed Rekrul.

Uhm.

well imo it depends on the sort of thread. A lot of these are simply not right for here and should be posted elsewhere instead.

Ask the company you bought the pc from instead. Or google.

Yeah well hardware problems are redundant obviously because you'd be better off going to the manufacturer/shop you got it from.

When someone has some kind of software problem (remember veg's hilarious topic where he deleted rundll) I think they're fine.

The fact is there are some really good places to post those sorts of things
TL isnt an ideal place to do so unless the problem is BW/gaming specific in which case its not a bad place to post

Hey look guys, I'm Rekrul so I can be an asshole to whomever I want.

Treat others with respect often?

It was a legitimate question and not all of the admins agree with you, how is that even right?

It seems to me that Rekrul is the only person who thinks tech threads are banned. Why not just add another forum like SC2 called Tech because I'm sure it will be used a lot and will reduce all the threads in general. That seems more logical than closing all the threads about tech, but leaving ones about wearing shoes inside or girl problems alone.

it makes no sense for teamliquid to have a tech support forum. there are fucking dozens of established, and well-populated tech forums on the internet.

There are a lot of relationship sites/emotional problem sites too, should Team Liquid close down all those threads too?

If someone feels comfortable with the people they are around and know that their question will be answered when coming to a forum, what would make them want to search out another site? They should only do it because there are other places to get help? That just doesn't make sense to me.

i don't see why you can't ask a tech forum or look up FAQs or use google rather than post here. this is a gaming site and shouldn't be treated as a tech support site.

i agree with rek in this case, we should ban all tech support stuff that doesn't directly have to deal with brood war or video games. i guess i could see a thread about video cards used to play a certain game or why BW isn't working for you, but not about general tech help.

Even if you agree with rekrul that gives him the right to respond with "no you stupid fucks"

I didn't say "Rekrul is an asshole for closing threads immediately. He hardly ever observes forum rules and is just an ass in general." So why is it okay that he responds the way that he did.

The question isn't any longer about the tech help but the way in which it is being handled.

No where in the rules of the forum does it say do not come here and ask about technology stuff. There is so much that goes on in the general forum that I was just curious as to why they were being closed. A simple, "we would like to try to keep the content as close to gaming as possible" would have been a better answer dont' you think?

Edit: I keep reading over your post hot_bid...now I have no beef with you and I like you. However how do you feel justified by saying this is a gaming site so keep the content off the tech stuff. Have you even peaked in the general forum? How much of that is related to gaming? Once again I'm not questioning the job being done by the admins, I just don't understand what makes life help different from tech support help. Its not my forum so I can't enforce the rules, just simply asking.

Computer technical support relates to gaming much more than vocabulary, girls, suicide, or any of the other popular general topics.

don't put words in my mouth - i didn't say tech support threads should all be closed, i said that dedicated tech support forum would be ridiculous. try your straw man idiocy elsewhere
