Why was http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=159908¤tpage=1 closed
??? it promotes discussion about things in Starcraft (which is what the Starcraft forum is there for)
It got 3 pages of response in a short amount of time and has a lot of discussion going on about the community, what reason is there for closing it? Basically it is just 1 mod out of however many are lurking at the time look at any thread they don't like and say "This thread stinks based on my personal opinion so I will close it" that is an extremely biased,unjust and power abusive way of sorting threads when there isn't any real reason for closing threads.

Is that really the feedback you wan't to give with your history of banned accounts and bad posts?
Threads in which people just list whatever items w/o any actual conversation are generally discouraged, that's all there is to it.

Bad posts? What gradient do you have to judge what posts are objectively "good" besides biased admin opinions who seem delete and ban happy?
There is conversation in that thread, it is asking a thought provoking question to the community to promote discussion, and it definitely did that (note the quick growth of the thread and people talking back and forth about it).
Even if my opening post wasn't extremely in depth, the thread was developing into a decent thread pretty quickly, so I don't see a reason to delete the entire thread for that reason, particularly when there isn't any other thread with that topic of discussion happening at the time. If the topic was inappropriate to the forum I can see a thread move being appropriate, but why close it completely?

Ignoring the fact that they are indeed bad posts, they don't need to present a gradient. The first of the 10 commandments is, and I quote "This is our house." We're all visitors in the grand scheme of things.

He put no effort into thread.
Just posting a replay link and going OMG SO AWESOME = auto-close.

Why was the day9 'enjoying himself too much' thread closed?
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=161228
I personally disagreed with the original poster, but it was an interesting post with some effort put into it. Why was it closed? Because it was critical of an important member of the community?

I think the bare min of a thread is +4 full lines of text(8 half lifes, 16 fourth lines etc.) preferentially generated by the user and less then 40% blue space (TL's white space). And pictures always help!

It's a passive thought with no substance. No reason to open a thread for stuff like that.

...
Why on earth can I not post a chatlog of an extended joke that I and many other people found quite hilarious? Blogs are for personal stuff, and that had content. A thread with a one line joke about SCVs gets featured, but this doesn't pass as a blog? What...

I didn't close it but I don't think we want threads on tl linking directly to game files.

Why was this closed
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=163719
It clearly says in the title "What does this say".
It's also very clear that it's an error message. which is why it was posted in the Technical support forum. I PM'd the mod who closed it and he said this
"
blog it. if you find out what it means feel free to remake in tech support
-----------------------------------------
Original Message From TadH:
Where else would I post it? I'm having problems connecting to my korean account, which is a technical problem, where would you like me to post it?"
Why would I blog this when it's clearly a tech support question, not me ranting about girls etc.
Thanks in advance

You posted no description of what was going on, what language was required, etc. You just posted a screenshot and expected people to come into your thread (again, you didn't ask for a Korean translator.)
You're right that it's a technical issue but posting that, especially with a crappy OP like that, in the technical support section is a lot less likely to grab someone who can read Korean than posting it in Blogs would.
If you do remake it as a Blog, add some description and a title that will actually let people know what's going on.

Blogs are not for asking for technical support issues, unless I'm mistaken, that would undermine the whole Technical Support sub forum. why not just merge the two, you can call it "Technical support Blogs"

Are you kidding me? It's a one-line image with a question in the Title. TL isn't your personal Rosetta Stone. The fact that you're discussing it being closed is actually crazy. Do not remake that as a blog or anywhere on TL.

but if I add a few line of text, I could then use TL as my personal rosetta stone? you know cause the image and title arent clear enough.
And the reason why I'm asking here is because the PM I received said to repost it as a blog, so I'm getting conflicting advice from the staff here.

when i told you to blog it i didn't mean literally repost it in blogs. making a post like that in tech support shows very little effort on your behalf and taking a two step approach would get your problem solved faster as well as not making you look like a douche.
you could have very easily just made a blog asking for a quick translation with some context and info on why you needed it, once you've obtained that you could post the translation in tech support along with the circumstances in which you got the error and really avoided everything here.
