I am no expert on this, but I will try my best to help you understand this. Your original post was as follows: As zerg how would I beat a maruader/thor/tank ball? http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/126356-1v1-terran-zerg-steppes-of-war In the beginning I though I won, I did so much damage to him, but he pulled again and won eventually. The reply you got from the admin was a link to the strategy forum guidelines. Since your post was a [H] topic, you should read the part of the strategy forum guidelines about the [H] topics. It is as follows: [H] Help threads. Post a replay, give your own analysis, get help! The classic “Why did I lose this game?”. For these threads it is absolutely required that you post a replay. No exceptions. Nobody is going to be able to help you if you won’t post a replay. Additionally, first put some thought into what happened in the game, and include your own analysis into the thread. It might be wrong, but try your best. It doesn’t have to be long, a few point form lines is enough to give people a starting point to give you advice. Your thread won’t last if you won’t put any effort in it. If you have specific questions, ask them along with your analysis. It’s always easier to reply if we know what exactly you need help with. The first thing that is said about [H] threads is: Post a replay, give your own analysis, get help! You did the first part correctly, you posted a replay. Also, you wanted some help. Theres no problem thus far. So that leaves only one thing: give your own analysis. One could say you did so with the following: In the beginning I though I won, I did so much damage to him, but he pulled again and won eventually. One could argue theres not much analysis there. In the beginning you thought you won. Fair enough. You did so much damage to him. So in the beginning of the game you did alot of damage to him and you thought you had the game won. But he somehow managed to defend, and eventually best you. In my humble opinion this is not a very good analysis. In fact, it almost seems as if you have not watched the replay yet. As if this post actually was rather impulsive. And theres actually a paragraph in the strategy forum guidelines about this: Additionally, first put some thought into what happened in the game, and include your own analysis into the thread. It might be wrong, but try your best. It doesn’t have to be long, a few point form lines is enough to give people a starting point to give you advice. Your thread won’t last if you won’t put any effort in it. Atleast for me, it is starting to become very clear why your thread was closed. I think if you had more specific questions about your game, it would live longer. Infact, now that I think of it, your one question is in the thread title ZVT how to win against maruader/thor/tank? Is this a composition you lose to on a regular basis? Are you having immense trouble with it? Or is it something that you have rarely encoutered, and you don't know how to play against it? In any case, someone before you have probably faced this composition. And maybe they've made a help thread about it. Or even better, they've come up with ways to win against it and have decided to make a guide on how to play against it. I only did a quick search, but you might want to check out http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=176625 . A great read for any aspiring zerg users. Allthough that particular thread doesn't really discuss your problem playing against maurader/thor/tank as an army composition, I am confident that you will, with a little effort, find threads that do. And if all else fails, you can try make a new thread, only this time, put a little more effort into it, so that it complies with the guidelines for the strategy forums. I hope that I have cleared some things up for you, Motat. And also, pardon my poorly written response. English is not my native language. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=182538 The Steven Bonnell fanclub was closed with the reasoning being that hes not a "top" player when hes a 3300 ranked Zerg and 58th on the NA master rank. He also consistently streams with 600+ viewers if that has any bearing on him being popular enough for a fan club. His stream quality is great and commentary is hilarious. Oh and on the master list he is higher ranked than spades, who has a fanclub. | ||

Then I decided to create a thread to discuss non featured streamers, who obviously arent well known enough, or respected, to become featured streamers. But that thread was also taken down, because usually streamers are supposed to have their own thread. I PM'ed Jibba about these thread takedowns and I got a very short word answer that can barely be called an explanation, just that Destiny should be discussed in destiny thread, which is the only thread concerning Steve Bonnell that hasnt been taken down (yet). It doesnt make sense that Steve gets around 1000 viewers often and has a fast growing following, and yet lesser streamers are featured and can have their own fanclub. And it probably isnt a coincidence or a mistake by the TL staff. Those who view Steve's stream on a regular basis are well aware of his recent relationship with the TL elite. If i remember it correctly I think he said himself that he wouldnt get featured even if he won a major us sc2 tournament. Seeing how every thread that mentions him here is killed at birth, im beginning to think he might be right. This campaign against him by the TL elite is getting obvious and quite laughable actually. | ||

Nope, sorry. It's always a case by case decision. Anyway this place is about closed threads and your questions has been sufficiently answered I believe. | ||

Destiny told his fans to spam our forum. He barely dodged a permanent ban for that and is less than 2 weeks off a stream ban. The person he was in that little spat with has been permanently removed from the site, so consider the relative punishments. Spades competes in tournaments and does fairly well. Destiny is just a streamer and while he has become more helpful, comparing him to competitive gamers based on his Blizzard ranking is ridiculous. When Destiny wins a major tournament, I'll absolutely look into having him featured. Featured streamers are judged on a balance of audio/video quality, skill, helpfulness and demeanor. He's not the only "top player" to be excluded because they don't meet all of those. | ||

It's interesting to see the standards have been raised so significantly. But good to see that you'll look into it. But why are you blocking the creation of his fanclub for instance? | ||

Also, baller has a fan club. While I definitely think he is deserving of it, it's because of his quotes on TL, and has nothing to do with his ability in SC..... Yet someone who is contributing with a quality SC stream can't have one? While I totally understand about the featured stream part, it's a pretty messy situation with regards to the fan club issue..... I don't really see either side as being right or wrong here..... I impuslively hit "post", because I felt that I needed to get this out there, yet if I sat around and thought about it more, I'd probably end up not posting it..... | ||

+ Show Spoiler [BRILLIANT IDEA] + Make a whole new forum for your ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Kfijz.png) Notice that teamliquid.net is not present among the results. Wow, this is looking great! You have dozens of websites just begging for your precious internet traffic, and waiting for you to set up a warm, loving Destiny fan forum. The first link looks pretty good, so let's go! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/tknAA.png) Those 'Most Active forums' along the bottom right look pretty good, don't they? But don't go registering for those forums yet, you've got to finish reading this post first. Don't worry, they'll still be there when you finish. Well that looks pretty good, doesn't it? There's only one thing left to do. You have to go all the way, and show the world your ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/SJUwM.png) Use those starcraft clicking skillz. Work that mouse button like a pro. You can create a forum all by yourself, and you don't even need your mom's permission. Click the 'Create a free forum' button, and then click through a few options, and you can get to here: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/BlT8l.png) And this, dear readers, is where I leave you. I trust that you will carry on in my stead. I wish you the best of luck, and a fun-loving forum. Free of oppressive pressure of teamliquid élite, you can expand your forum like an ideal gas, until destiny himself registers and posts on your forum. | ||
