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: Show nested quote +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.
I posted here because I thought it was maybe wrong to contact you personally in that matter when I saw this thread.
I will not repeat all the things I already messaged you and I am fine with your opinion.
Nevertheless, the most important thing for me is that you said you wanna be consistent about it. Because if you would have been from the start I wouldn't have opened anything in this forum (as I was sure that is allowed, I seen dozens of similiar threads before and thought nobody minds).
Thanks for clarifying.

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...
Linked here. Yesterday, I was pretty irritated and I did PM Kennigit back, despite his signature because of the previous threads that were closed on the same subject. In the closed thread by another poster(Ron Paul 2012) it was suggested to apply a persoanl appeal to the thread and repost it. As far as I can tell, that OP did not do so. I did. I applied a personal appeal to my version. It's biased now. After PM's from other people suggested i just remove the bias and repackage it back into general forum, I decided blog would be best. Thanks. TL's still the shit, even if we're not sure whether we like monotone, one link, no opinion posts, or people will some time, and out in the open on bias, for the readers ease to distinguish OPFantasy from OPFact. No hard feelings. It's a new day and i have way moar coffee than u!!!

Hello, I can see numerous potential reasons why my thread "Horrible News from China" was closed, but I would appreciate a specific answer, especially since CTStalker's "Don't make threads like this, please" is so ambiguous.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=276748
A question more important to me, however, is:
If my thread was closed because I was "singling out China" as if it had all the problems in the world, how come all the other "China bashing" threads are still open, including the "Chinese Toddler Run Over, No One Helps!" thread.
For, in truth, the reason I made this thread was because of the abundance of other "China bashing" threads in the General section. However my message was received, I wanted to show that there was "no point" making individual threads about individual events when this kind of stuff happens all the time.
Am I in the wrong for consolidating several news stories into one thread? Thank you for your time.

I didn't close it for a specific reason, other than that I think the thread would have turned out quite badly.
The linked content and this quote from your post "However, this stuff is common, even if not defining of the country as a whole.", were inflammatory.
FWIW, I kind of think the thread about the kid getting run over should be closed as well.

From EvilTeletubby on another list thread:
Closing - we generally don't allow "list" threads. They generate no discussion and are little more than spam.

Just because you haven't seen a thread like it, doesn't mean it will be allowed to stay open. Bottom line is people will just list things without caring what other people are saying

I suspect because it doesn't really add anything. I mean the only thing there that is remotely related to SC2 General (where you posted the link) was the single adjutant costume. Now granted that is an awesome costume but that hardly seems enough content to warrant a thread. Especially since you didn't really add anything else to the OP.
Oh and "I go to my homepage of yahoo and see a fucking adjutant, I thought maybe people might care on the Starcraft community site" probably didn't help either.
My thoughts, I guess motbob might have other reasons.

Regarding that line, I got annoyed that the person was being a bit condescending, saying "Do you really lose your mind and consider posting every time a gaming-centric site writes about anything related to Starcraft?" when
A) I've never done anything like that before.
B) I genuinely expected a positive reaction.
C) I didn't check Yahoo games for it, it was just right there on Yahoo, front page, first link. I don't know if that article comes randomly from all their stuff, but I figured they probably chose to put it there.
D) The adjutant was pretty awesome lol. And if it wasn't sc2 related enough, I figured it would be moved to the general forum.

Why my thread was closed ?
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=278902
We are talking about the possibility of the new unit of HOTS the replicant to be a counter to BIOstyle ?
The mood said: baseless conjecture. (????)
This unit is totally new, how can we be totaly sure. We are using all the knowledge blizzard give us about this unit! That's why it's completly normal all the statements in this thread are hypothetic.

Oh, I made a big mistake here. Not in closing your thread, but in leaving a joke instead of a real reason. I apologize.
The reason I closed the thread was that it was a link to a bunch of Blizzcon costumes, which doesn't really belong in SC2 General under any circumstances, even if it was on Yahoo.

These threads aren't that productive because the way the unit works will probably be completely different by the time the beta, let alone the retail game, hits. A thread on the basic function of the Swarm Host is probably OK because that basic function probably isn't going to change. A thread on a specific aspect of the Replicator (skill copying) is probably not OK, since that aspect might be changed or nerfed by Blizzard before beta hits.

I opened a thread in General Discussion asking teamliquid for name suggestions for a LAN im starting up to have starcraft 2 tournaments since teamliquid is a creative community. Since its starcraft related and will help esports and is a LAN. i thought general was a good spot. It was closed and i was warned saying things about my LAN shouldnt be on teamliquid. I had like 10 responses in 5 min so people on Teamliquid seemed to want to help...
Why was it closed?
This is what i got:
"Stop making threads about your LAN center's name. This is not the kind of thing that should be on TL. Also if your threads are getting closed please don't keep reopening them."
I made 1 and it was a 1 liner, so it was closed. So i figured if i opened up another thread and typed a paragraph it wouldnt be closed. Then it was and i got that
