Why was my topic closed!!! It was a very insightful discussion.

I actually had a lot of laughs reading your thread. Perhaps it should be posted in IdrA's fan club thread.

this. end of thread.

Honestly it looks like it was closed because of a single troll. Which kinda bummed me out, I wanted to post my perspective as a non-player spectator of SC2. There was a lot of good discussion going on in that thread.

Why was my thread closed? It was a a joke/irony. All my comprehensive looks are ironic. I think whoever closed it took what I said at face value. Or they thought it inappropriate?

The thread is title "NewGen's - A comprehensive look" in the SC2 General section

No offence dude, but it was kinda tasteless. Also to cut straight to the reasoning, it was also shit.

It wasn't tasteless, it was just not funny and one step over the line.
So I guess it was tasteless...

making fun of forum trolls is tasteless? I'm not saying all new comers are like that. I'm a new comer. But haven't you lol'd at all the trolls who troll and then get defensive and call other people elitist BW assholes? Anyway I find it funny, and not close-worthy...

maybe I'm alone

Pretty sure giving trolls more attention with a whole comedic topic is what they want. They want recognition and to establish their views as actual note-worthy ones, even if mimicked or exaggerated.

Have something to say about this thread even tho it's not mine but it's related to WC:Team League so I'll spoiler it.

+ Show Spoiler +

The OP has a valid point and like chat channels I think we as a community that want to grow eSports have to push and demand this feature. During Set 8 Day 2 of WC:Team League IMMVP DCed and they had to regame. A lot of older RTSes have had this basic feature and I think we shouldn't wait till some Tournemant Patch that we might get "soon". Imagine if this happened during a TSL or GSL finale. It's a simple feature and not something that should be overlooked in my opinion.

Didn't want to create a new thread so I searched first and found this closed thread so I thought post up here and might get it opened again and in attention.

1) Next person to say Grow Esports gets a smack in the face. 90% of people who use this term don't actually do anything, another 5% who produce events only target the group that already exists.

2) His post was not ground breaking, and didn't have a lot of direction. I asked him to blog it.

Oh god, please yes! It's really getting out of hand, and people don't seem to pay attention to the posts you made about it.

Wanting to grow something != doing something to grow it. I want world peace but that doesn't mean I go out fighting crime ever day or giving out pamphlets.

But I guess you didn't agree with my arguments about how we "need" save games for disconnects so I'll throw in the towel.

I wanted something of mine to grow really bad, and I did something to grow it. Sometimes I would get popup ads about growing it, and one that said "How I got 10 inches in a month" looked really promising, so I tried it out. I paid them 60 bucks and they sent me this guide and this cream. After a month, not only did it not grow, it even shrunk an inch. Am I just that bad in raising household plants? This is why we need threads on TL about growth to help others, even if you don't want to grow anything yourself.

In regards to P4ndemik closing my thread.

My post: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=207012

Rekrul's post: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/blogitems.php?site=rekrul&page=5

My inquiry: Where is the ruling that I cannot make that thread? TL members have been betting for years and years. Can you direct me to the vicinity of this prohibition? And also inform me on how Rekrul was permitted to operate the same way? My post was a replica of his fashion.

Thanks Admins.

My guess would be Rekrul joined Tuesday, 5th of November 2002, is a well known person in the community and also a known professional poker player who has the money to back up his losses.

You joined Tuesday, 6th of October 2009 and the vast majority of new people are not sure who you are?

It is just a guess though I am probably wrong.

I made a thread that really interested me about the fact that people don't type "gg" anymore before they leave. It was really getting off great and people were aware of the fact and were giving their opinion without derailing the subject. It was actually eye opening to see the reactions.

Here is the link to the thread.

This thread got closed because there would be many already existing threads about it. I have searched and didn't come up with any. I found 1 thread related to what I asked and it is from November last year.

Could the thread be opened again? Unless I am mistaken there really isn't another thread about this.

Your topic is anecdotal, meaning it doesn't really branch off into a discussion besides: yeah, I don't get a lot of GGs or no, everyone GGs against me.

That's the extent of my understanding.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=206962
Anecdotal too

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=187314
Much better, it delves into the idea of GGing and its conoctions or perceptions according to the community more so than the implicit nature of your topic, which is: "not many people are GGing, is the game getting more rude or is it not a formality anymore".
