This isn't about just my thread though, its about tech threads in general. It doesn't take more than a couple minutes worth of browsing the closed thread section to see all the tech threads closed. I guess I should admit that it was sparked more for my dislike of rekrul's posts and attitude more so than my enjoyment of tech threads.
I've heard the my house my rules in just about every thread where someone has a problem, but the whole rekrul situation just really bothers me, and I know I am not alone. Most admins may not have a problem with him but they don't even agree with closing every tech thread. I just hope that a better understanding of what is allowed and not allowed would be defined.
I agree with Hot_Bid that it is very laid back and that the rules aren't followed closely, but there are rules that are enforced and used to help decide posting standards. This thread got off course and didn't end up serving its purpose, and for that I apologize for starting.
All in all, what is okay and what isn't in regards to this subject?
Maybe we could just have a single thread that is used for tech support help and whenever one needs something the thread is bumped in lieu of starting a new thread.

Here's the thing, man: The people who have a problem with rekrul are 300-post registered-in-february-of-this-year guys such as yourself. People who haven't been around here for very long and are just used to the leniency and idiocy of other, shittier forums.
The people who like Rekrul's moderation and agree with him when he closes threads are the sort of guys who have been here for years and have thousands of posts and have entrenched themselves in this community.

And All in all, I would suggest not making any thread where there is no room for discussion or other things that make a thread worthwhile for other people to read. Nobody wants to read about computer problems unless they feel like answering computer problems, and those sort of people post at tech support forums. The idea is to have threads that are good on the whole, not good to you because you got what you wanted out of it.

Things aren't always what they appear to be and I would appreciate it if you wouldn't take everything as you see it. I never really got into posting much because I didn't think I would enjoy letting others read my thoughts. I've never posted in a worse shittier forum, and just because I have a low post count doesn't mean I don't have a right to express my feelings. I've been reading team liquid since 2004 and just recently decided that I would actually give posting a try. I wasn't aware that just because I'm a 300-post registered-in-february-of-this-year that my opinions were worthless, but I'm glad you clarified that to me and now I can go 3 more years of just reading and not having ppl like you tell me what I can and can't think.

This is where you're stepping out of line. You should ignore it if someone calls you a 300-post newbie cuz they're etiher kidding, or it's warranted. From this post, you're getting nothing accomplished but creating more to the chain of flames. I never got flamed when I was at 300 posts because I never really tried to bring attention to myself. Fakesteve and Rekrul, although extremely strict or harsh at times, have been part of this community for a while, and I for one, respect their opinions because A) neither are retards (although they may rant at times) and B) they are overall respectful of their veteran status.
This is one of thsoe times where you just let it go.

That is why I apologized for starting the thread, admitted that I was wrong and let my own views get in the way of my ability to reason correctly, and simply asked for a more clear cut definition of what is acceptable and what isn't.

Haha, I actually thought of something funny :p
None of us (hopefully) really think of that bastard on TL when we're immersed in our own real lives. So what I'm thinking is how silly we'd look (from an outside perspective), like imagine you walking into the computer library to find a kid staring at a computer screen, then suddenly furiously hitting the keyboards :p

I liked your story when I read it the first time better.
"to find a kid staring at a computer screen, then suddenly furiously hitting them with keyboards".
I do agree with what you are saying and I've never truly been upset about it, just, confused. Edit: But in case of a weird occurrence that I would get upset, this is why I post at home

Ya, I speak on behalf of everyone who gets mad over the internet, not just this particular instance. It put a smile on my face when I realized how stupid I look to the other employees the numerous times I've gotten indignant over what I read over the interwarb. They're probably like wtf?
EDIT: Oh, I see that quote now :p
