Like you say, the ten commandments are all common sense stuff mostly to eliminate trolls and spam and things like that. But it's not common sense to forgo discussing hypothetical changes to the game and what the consequences would be. That much should be clear from the sheer number of people who post about it, because they're obviously not just trolling. And not all of them are even whining. "Content worth discussing" is a highly subjective thing. If you have more specific criteria as to what constitutes "content worth discussing" then it should be made clear, if only for the sake of saving the OP's time and the moderator's time. But I also feel it would help to not make new people feel unwelcome here and reluctant to post anything, all because it's not clear what is acceptable and what isn't. It just doesn't help berating people as though it was obvious when it really wasn't, and especially when others cannot see the berating and the reasons for it once the thread has been locked anyway. But I'm not going to request that you allow balance threads, because it's your forums and that's fine. All I'm suggesting is that it be made clear somewhere in plain sight what is acceptable to discuss and what isn't, for the sake of relationships and time saved. Or, people could understand that when entering a new community, the onus is on them to refrain from posting until they have observed what is acceptable and what is not. Unfortunately this is the internet and people have an unbelievable sense of entitlement. | ||

It's always seemed like an ask questions and shoot later sort of thing, ya know. If people can't observe their surroundings and adapt they're not gonna be much for the sc community anyway :p | ||

A quite educational thread which could have gathered more useful tips if it were not closed. I must ask why was it closed and why with such bad manners by the admin, calling it garbage. Not very TL like if you ask me! | ||

Well, first I'll quote the explanation that I posted in that thread, because I think it answers your question straight out: On September 22 2010 21:39 JWD wrote: Garbage thread, sorry. There's no actual discussion going on here, just post count inflation. In general threads that are merely "post your X" will not fare well in this forum... To get into more detail: SC2 General should be a place for (1) showcasing awesome / useful OPs or (2) generating useful or interesting discussion. If your thread falls into the third category of (3) a collection of one-liners, then it will have a tough time surviving in SC2 General. By and large "post your X" threads do not endure unless the individual posts in them live up to a certain standard of quality (for an example see this thread that's been living in BW for a long time now (keep in mind that it began when moderation at TL was much more lax—a different time). In that thread, each post tends to be full of pictures and great stories. Now compare that thread to yours, which began with 5 lines of text and is littered with posts like this: On September 21 2010 23:22 storm44 wrote: im in diamond and I didn't know that scv's could attack lol On September 21 2010 23:33 Iamsmart wrote: How to research hallucination (seriously, didn't know it exiseted, improving my PvZ drastically!) On September 21 2010 23:54 MangoTango wrote: Burrow is tier 2 tech. :s I'm aware there were some useful tips in there, but that they were buried in 10 pages of junk means that the thread wasn't going to be helpful to anyone and would instead simply occupy valuable space on our sidebar. (As I said in my post above) I'm sorry for calling the thread garbage. What I meant by that is that the thread was not up to snuff for SC2 General. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=155623 I was just curious if anyone else felt if nukes needed a tweak and I was just bouncing ideas off of others. Also, the small argument between me and another member about TLO using nukes against hyberdub was my mistake, I misunderstood what he meant by nuking an empty space to stop the opponent from moving on his position. I took it as TLO was nuking an empty space and hyperdub's vikings were moving on his position. | ||

It's always a tough decision to close a thread that's gone unnoticed long enough to have a few pages of discussion in it, but in the SC2 General forum there just isn't room for everyone to advocate for their pet game changes. Look in the Closed Threads forum and you will see that you weren't being singled out; I'd guess maybe 20% of the threads mods close are SC2 General threads proposing some game change. That these threads are clever or address a really important game issue is very, very rare. As such they are usually just venues for complaining/arguing about balance and marginally useful theorycrafting. We hold SC2 General to a higher standard than that. | ||
