Preemptive strike.

Your blog was closed because it was one of the following:
- Mistaken as your diary (ie no one else cares)
- Not funny when intended to be
- A copy / paste that isn't extremely funny
- Going to generate zero discussion / helps no one
- A request that was missing the majority of information to let people help you

All the above follow a common theme: they have zero thought put in. Stop posting everything that crosses your mind into a blog. Please!

In the mean time:

extremely arbitrary and lame purge imo, i think your efforts could be put to better use than trying to tightly moderate a feature of TL that exists to be loosely moderated. take this purge crap to general, which has always been the shittiest and most uninteresting forum

Yeah this is dumb.

Besides:

"Mistaken as your diary (ie no one else cares)"

A blog is mostly used for spilling your thoughts about stuff and that could definitely be things that happened to you. Blogs over at liquidpoker are almost always about how their day at poker went and it's definitely interesting for others to read while it is kind of diary-style.

"Going to generate zero discussion / helps no one"

Who cares, it's their blog. As far as I know when people don't care they don't read it/don't comment on it so whateverrr.

As much as I HATE blogs and wish they had never been implemented (what the hell are blogs doing on a starcraft site) I think this is impossible to moderate. You can't just lock blogs because you dislike them.

Edit: Seriously though, someone explain to me why blogs were added. I hear they were originally for blizzcon/etc but come on, what does hearing about someone's relationship problems add to the site? Is that why you come to teamliquid, to read this shit?

This is something which needs to be discussed imo. Blogs do need some level of moderation, or atleast someway to differentiate good from bad.

Isn't your first reason why blogs exist in the first place? A public diary of your thoughts?...

i agree with chill. these blogs suck. blogs should be moderated for the quality of their content. the great freedom of blogs concerns the topics that they can cover, not the effort allowed.

look at mani's blog: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=53908

one of these guys with a closed blog post would make this blog for mani:

hi there was a big sale today. when big sales happen i guess people go crazy and they get violent and stuff. i had it all planned out so i just ran in and got my stuff and ran out cuz im awesome. i saved like 12 bucks. share your shopping stories in this blog!


there are many examples of how you can make any topic amazing or any topic horrible. i dont see what's wrong with having moderators get rid of the horrible. as a reader, i appreciate it

as a blogger, if you feel the topic isn't important enough to spend time putting effort into the blog, then don't blog. if it's worth the effort, then give it the effort. if you're posting something inherently low effort, like a copy/paste, you better know your audience damn well. low post count users doing that shit have a very low success rate.

I have to agree with Twisted and company. I don't blog, but if I did I probably wouldn't do it to impress people and I wouldn't have an obligation to make anybody laugh. If I blogged I would probably post stuff that needed to be said but nobody ever says it. e.g. Michelle Rodriguez is a terrible actress and is always typecast as a stuck up tough girl, or nectarines should be more popular than peaches because they taste similar and don't have fuzz on them. From my understanding, for a lot of people blogging is supposed to be some kind of escape or release after a day of work or school, it's not supposed to be homework. This is probably the most heavily moderated site I know of. People need at least some space to express their thoughts without having everything they say scrutinized.

stick with the original mandate of the blog section, so what meat wrote in that quote. the whole reason blogs were created and separated from the general forum is so that people can write random shit and not have to worry about getting their shit closed or getting temp banned for 2 days (wtf?)

It needs some form of moderation. Too many retards posting several blogs a day/week about the same bullshit. That's annoying as hell. And fucking emo shit about girls, jeeeeeesus

if blogs are going to be moderated even close to the extent that the OP mentions then theres no point of having a blog section and you might as well shut down it down and have everyone to post in general instead

blackjack is spot on

Just make sure it has content in it and smells a little of effort.

The blog section is not your notepad to spew whatever you want.

the difference between general and blogs is that blogs is for personal things or things directly related to your life and general is impersonal. there are a few exceptions here and there, but that's the gist of it. this whole "blogs is for bad posts" is ridiculous. it's understandable if there is one section of the forum that is basically unmoderated, and that happens to blogs, but that's unrelated to the purpose of a blog section.

as usual, my philosophy always leans toward the purpose of a forum being user-generated content, not a place for users to screw around. and thus the purpose of moderation is to guide the user-generated content in the right direction. pruning bullshit horrible posts is a fundamental part of that. it's understandable if they set aside blogs as unmoderated, but if chill is volunteering to mod it, because he sees the potential in great blogs (and how can you not if you've read tl.net's good blogs), then it's silly to stop him
