If its true what is said in the op, then its actually important that we show blizzard we want this. Thus this is a valuable chance of actually contributing to this game we all love. Like I said, its not like its hurts TL in any way whatsoever leaving this thread open. Quite opposite, we have something to gain. | ||

Anyway, the mods seem to have killed it, I gave you the most likely reasons based on what they close threads for, and I'm really the wrong person to try and convince. Really, I'd prefer the occasional thing that might be good if it isn't pure BS to get closed than to see one of the best sites around go downhill from too many exceptions. | ||

Quite opposite, we have something to gain. If you want to drum up support for a name change petition, go for it. But TL doesn't allow these kinds of threads so you'll have to find another way. Reddit has a similar thread and reddit is really good at drumming up support for a cause, so I suggest you join their efforts. We used to allow these kinds of threads, but then everyone decided their cause was super important and started using TL as a means. At that point we blanket banned these types of threads. | ||

TL is trying to stop the influx of "Oh, well, this is shitty." type news stories. If it isn't relevant and doesn't provoke discussion, it doesn't get a thread anymore. | ||

The video is really interesting and insightful and worth a discussion, imo. Especially considering the types of threads that are currently in general, my little pony, kpop, vampire diaries, dating, etc. It's like a middle school girls locker room in there | ||

Yeah, and it usually happens for things like telling the mods how to punish a post, not for answering a question correctly.  And no, I don't have anything better to do between games in a weekend tournament I'm watching. If you do, maybe you should be doing them instead of trying to imply I'm a no-lifer. | ||

Unfortunately you came into this with very visable bias. You already derailed your own thread - we try to avoid this stuff since it never ends well (religion, "fringe" politics (even though there is a concious war by media against Paul)). I think on the incredibly unlikely off-chance that they allow one to stay open (they tend to devolve into name-calling, screaming, uninformative shitfests), it will be one where the OP doesn't call out anybody who disagrees directly, while proudly proclaiming his inability to be objective. That's usually grounds for a bad thread... | ||

I opened up a thread the day before yesterday for 2 of my new songs. I did this like I always did it for my previous songs because I want to share the SC2 related stuff I'm writing, recording and putting up for free. I don't earn any money out of it or have the intent to. Here is the thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=274087 The day after (yesterday) I had kind of a motivational push and wrote and recorded another SC2 song (One more game) in one day and I was so excited about it, that I wanted to share it. So I searched for my thread from the day before when I realised it got buried to like page 3 and I thought it would be best to let it die, especially because it is a NEW song and it had nothing to do with neither the votes nor the songs in the other thread. So I decided to open up another one to share it with you guys. This is the thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=274381 I received some feedback and then went to sleep. When I woke up today I was shocked about BOTH my threads being closed. I can't understand that. I mean, the old thread was buried anyway, but there is no real reason to close neither one of those threads. This is MY contribution to the scene and there are some people that want these threads. Every SC2 related musician here opens threads for every new song they make. Why am I not allowed to do so if they are? Once again, I do not promote anything. It is only promotion if you promote something that sells or brings in money for you. I don't get a freagging dime from what i'm doing, I'm just making songs and want people to hear them. YES, I posted some links to my youtube/soundcloud channel and a link to my Twitter. But that is still no promotion for anything, I just want people to listen to my other songs, and if they like to, follow me for updates on new songs or whatever. This is SHARING, not PROMOTING. Please clarify. Cheers EDIT: I previously posted 2 threads with my songs and they didn't got closed. Same goes with some threads from other artists like Suspense, Temp0 and others. | ||

It is very simple, personal topics go into blogs, general information topics go into the general sections of these boards. Exceptions obviously being cases of personal stories or devellopments impacting the scene as a whole or being otherwise exceptional. I did not judge this to be the case. On this basis alone your topic did not belong in SC2 general. Secondly to go into some more detail as to why this was closed as there was more going on then just the content type of your topic. You decided to open a second thread for exactly the same topic you posted before. The first topic didn't even get closed yet, but as it died due to lack of interest from other users you didn't even perform a shameless self bump on your other topic but even went the distance to just create a new topic about it. This obviously is not the way things are intended on these boards in relation to topic creation. Topics that receive little interest and posting activity drop down the thread list and disappear into the murkey depths of the particular forum section it was posted in. And last you decided to add all your personal links towards your sites and particulars on social media and assorted. This by default turns it into a self promotion topic. By doing so you detract from your own stated contributory goal. I mean: YES, I posted some links to my youtube/soundcloud channel and a link to my Twitter. But that is still no promotion for anything Really? As for the other topics, as far as I am concerned and aware at the moment they all belong in the blogs section as well. I'll bring it up so we can be consistent about it. | ||
