If the thread gets heated, it makes more sense to remove the source then it does to judge them for the responses in there. Now if it's indicative of a terrible post history or something else, that's another story... | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=169831 I proceeded to PM Chill about the incident. He replied that in a nut shell the topic was not contributing to TL as a whole. I then proceeded to explain my purpose with the topic and how it related to the community and what my plans were and asked to repost the topic. As far as I noted my post did not violate anything posted on the website and there was no complaints. 1. THIS IS OUR HOUSE 2. THOU SHALL OBSERVE FORUM ETIQUETTE 3. THOU SHALL THINK BEFORE POSTING 4. THOU SHALL CONTRIBUTE TO THE SITE 5. THOU SHALL NOT SPAM 6. THOU SHALL RESPECT FORUM VETERANS 7. ENGLISH IS THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE 8. THOU SHALL RESPECT YOUR ID 9. READ THE COMMANDMENTS 10. THOU SHALL HAVE FUN I understand that by no means does the Admin's have to be fair, as it is stated clearly, however it is posted that they will try to be. Feels like a cold robot response that will not even attempt to reason or ask questions. | ||

Original Message From Sanasante: I am using the survey to find a correlation between ladder ratings and peoples active interest in Starcraft. The topic is relevant and I am sharing the results with the community. I am not understanding why you closed the thread or what the problem is Original Message From Chill: You don't see a problem with a thread that's "Hey, fill out this survey for my school project"? Original Message From Sanasante: If you read past that part I explain a little bit more. I am not doing this for some basic stats course. I do not want to post much details of the project yet because I do not want my answers to be skewed based upon bias. I am using this survey to create a multiple regression equation to predict ladder ratings based upon peoples active interest in the game / time put into. Can I re-post this thread to finish my survey? Original Message From Chill: How is the amount of detail relevant to the problem? You are still doing this for school. You are still doing it only to serve yourself. I don't see how TL members get any benefit from this at the end of the day except "hey check this cool fact out." At the end of the day you get 99% of the benefit, and that is the basis of a bad thread. Original Message From Sanasante: I do not even have to create a survey for my project. I chose to make the topic on Starcraft because I wanted to give something back to the community. Go through all my posts in the Strategy forum. They are all 500 word essays. I frankly feel insulted that you group me with all the people on TL that are bringing it down. I am doing the project for school. Yes I am not doing the project to serve myself. I am doing the project to see if my theories about Ladder Ratings are correct. If they are I can expand my equation to include several more variables to more accurate predict my variable of interest. In the end I will be able to give the community an amount of time they should devote to playing if they wish to improve by x amount. A measure of progress with their game. I have been a member of Team Liquid since its foundation. I cannot remember my email address that long ago and that is the only reason I do not have my old account. I understand your trying to clean up TL but I have done nothing wrong. I have gone through your specific guidelines and I do not believe anything in my post deserved closing. You have trolling after trolling posts, people oogling over other players, and people posting things in the strat forums of which they have no clue and half of them stay open for a week, yet mine gets closed when I actually am trying to give something back. So I will ask my question again. Can I reopen the thread and will make the initial post more detailed? Original Message From Chill: I'll answer as I did before: No. Original Message From Sanasante: Again, no actual reason why. Is there another Admin I can talk to then, seeing as how you are impossible to reason with and take your position as a robot. I understand the job of being an admin, the time you put in, and the bullshit you deal with, I was head Admin of PGTour (Yes you can confirm with Chr1s if you think i'm bullshiting). Or could you ask FA to message me instead. Either way a reply would be appreciated. I have not violated anything posted in the guidelines. Latest message from Chill: I answered it completely before. The ratio of value drawn for yourself to the value provided to the community is completely out of whack. It's like me asking TL to vote for my band, and in return for winning me the $10,000 prize I will donate $10 to charity. You are getting a great specific sample size for your school work, and in return, you'll let us know how much to play. You are free me PM another moderator or administrator as you feel fit.

Unit proposals there are a no-no, as I'm sure you're aware. | ||

I don't know who it was but this thread is not meant to inquire as to who closed your thread when you don't have an issue. Maybe if you become a staff member you can ask through internal channels or something! | ||

I was merely curious, and figured this would be a better place for asking than making a new thread, clearly I was wrong. My bad. Its not that I had anything against whoever closed it. I actually sent a thank you pm to zatic for closing my last blog I made while drunk. Cheers! | ||

Although I am not a mod, I can explain to you why your tournament was closed. The reason why your tournament was closed was because it was not legitimate. I know that you have a license and all, but a license does not give legitimacy simply because there are no requirements to get a license. I can get a tournament license without even running a tournament. If Team Liquid allows every single tournament with a license from Blizzard to run, I can promise you that there will be at least one problem. In cases where money is involved, it is especially dangerous. If a buyin tournament happens to be a scam, that rests on the TL staff that allowed the tournament to happen, simply because it was advertised on TL. When comparing TL with other sc sites and even the bnet forums, TL is much more successful simply because we maintain such high standards. We would rather have very little tournaments run here than have a tournament that ends up being a scam. It wasn't anything personal that your tournament was closed, it was because it doesn't meet TL standards. TL is a place that you can run already legitimate tournaments, not a place where you can make a tournament legitimate. If you wish to advertise on TL in the future, I would advise the following: 1) Run the tournament successfully a few times without cash, or with cash, but advertised on other sites. 2) Get at least one moderator to help out with the tournament. It would also be nice to have a caster. 3) Put some more effort into the OP If you follow those criteria, I'm sure you would be able to advertise your tournament in the future. | ||

Pretty much I have no idea who you are, your thread looks like garbage, your website's #1 rule is basically "I am God". So run a few free tournaments or build up a reputation on the site so people know who you are. | ||

I guess it comes down to the tastes of tl and they can't tell if something should be shut down or not... | ||
