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.
Post the PM.
Edit: The entire PM, not just the snippet you previously posted.

that was the whole PM. i didn't feel the need to write all that out, mistake on my part.

My thread here go closed and I don't know why:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=164606
The person who closed it wrote:
This OP is unreadable. Please capitalize and learn to use periods for God's sake.
I admit that I haven't capitalized enough, nevertheless I never got even the chance to edit it - also from the amount of feedback the thread received I didn't get the feeling it was "unreadable"
Also I received a warning with a PM that included:
Please try to post on teamliquid.net using proper English. This includes spelling out words like "you" and "you're" and appropriate grammar and spelling.
After reading my OP again twice I couldn't finde a single "you - you're" error or "that" many grammar/spelling errors. I honestly think the warning was overly harsh because I really tried to structure the OP and elaborate my thoughts. I apologize for not using proper capitalization/periods and hope I get at least the chance to edit my OP.

I still haven't got a response. Is it ok if I repost my blog with the title fixed?

It was sorted out. I reposted my topic.

I don't think your problem was the title... if you post it again it will likely be closed again.

Thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=165505
"your lack of effort in an OP makes me sad and angry."
You shutting down a 5-page long discussion makes me sad =/
"X company is now worth Y <link to source> - what do you think?"
... is a perfectly fine, no? This is news about a fact, what else can you say?
Do we really want people trying to put some silly twist on the story just to prove themself worthy of creating threads? I dont understand that logic, OP apparently was enough to get people involved.

I didn't close it, but I'll give my opinion.
TL isn't some news RSS feed. We had a blight of people posting news article links and saying "thoughts?" That is a shitty precedent, as people rushed to be the first to post news.
In order to fix that, we expect some sort of conversation starter from the OP for news threads. The OP is usually required to give his opinion on the article, or some sort of personal expertise to add to the discussion.
The "OP apparently was enough to get people involved" is a losing argument because I've seen 15 pages about a dog getting a blowjob from someone's girlfriend. Our mandate is to protect quality; the amount of replies doesn't necessarily speak to thread quality.

but that was pure gold, and a ton of effort was put into that OP!
if someone posted something like that today would it be closed?

Very interested in knowing this too. I think it might, if only because TL has been moving in a more "safe for work" direction.

I think he misread that but it was still not a particularly good thread... I mean is it bm to forfeit before you are completely and utterly crushed? I don't think so.

Yeah thread was borderline was just curious about the closing message and maybe a little bit about the people who said yes lol xD

While I understand why This thread was closed. I want my formal complaint logged here. This thread was like TLs equivalent of jersey shore and I was enjoying every bit of it.

That thread was really entertaining, i also can't believe how many people got away with double and triple posting in it(and posting 1 liners). o_o

And I'll take this opportunity to formally thank the tl.net staff for not deleting it. For the most part, tl.net girls are the absolute best. But when they're not, it's more fun than my real life girl troubles.
edited out mischievous smiley -_-

My survey thread was closed recently and I was hoping to post this image as well as more results once my friend finishes analyzing them.
Was the thread in the wrong forum?
I also used the Contact Us form to ask this question before finding this thread and I apologize for that.
On a side note my friend got over 1700 responses for his survey, he's thrilled and his professors are completely blown away.
