I just wanted to mention that I thought the rules on OPs should maybe have been bent a little bit for [Giveaway] Signed progamer stuff / D3 key. I am aware that self-promotion is discouraged on this website, but I felt that, since Moletrap has been a long time contributor to the Starcraft community since the Brood War days, he ought to have been given more latitude, especially since he's going out of his way to buy and send stuff to members of the community (and it's not like he's been making lots of money off his youtube account or stream either).

Thank you for listening to my two cents.

Yeah, I felt bad about closing this thread, but it doesn't change the fact that twitter/youtube/facebook promotions like that are always always always sponsored-thread material. Even a TL staff member once posted a promotion like that and he was asked not to do it in the future.

Hi guys, I know the forum is busy and you want to keep it clear...

But this was a discussion generating much contrasting points of view, with many people interested in it. (they said so). Pretty annoying that it was closed without any reasoning behind it.

this is the link to the thread.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=294479

Seems rather unreasonable that it was closed

General forum is for big general topics of general interest. Looking at it now we've got Anime Discussion, [TV] Dexter, some crap about death row, more crap about korean skyscrapers, the kind of stuff that random people may want to discuss.

Now, your topic provided no content and was basically you saying "hey guys, who would win in a fight between X and Y, ps charity may be involved somehow in a purely hypothetical way". This is a topic often discussed by 8 year olds, generally on subjects such as a t-rex and some guys from the film 300. It wasn't based on any real situation, big question, important subject or anything else. It was just some thought that occurred to you that you had a desperate urge to post in our general forum. The only possibly relevant aspect of it was that you picked starcraft 2 as the subject which would make it relevant to a different subforum to the one you put it in.

So, to sum up.
It was shit.
It had no content, either intellectual or debatewise
It was in the wrong forum (although if it was in SC2 it'd still be shit)
Maybe you're 8?


Been away for a couple of weeks and come back to this... shit...

I ask a valid question that generates alot of interest and for whatever reason you decide to close it, fine... I ask for an explanation and you insult me... And your a moderator? Lame as fuck dude.

Kwark's response was insulting, I agree. But nevertheless, your thread didn't match the requirement for a thread in general forum in any way. All his point were valid albeit his wording was kinda harsh. Just move on, I'd say.

Bullshit.

I had a genuine curiousity about the levelling system in starcraft 2, and thought it would be an interesting scenario to play out, in which almost every poster who replied agreed with me, which generated much debate and interest.

Ok... So maybe its the wrong sub forum... Ok, maybe it's not appropriate for the starcraft 2 general forum... But to say its like an 8 year old comparing T rex to... whoever...That was a valid point to make? You really think so?

Ironic that he calls me the 8 year old.. Worst moderator on a forum ever.

Okay, so maybe you're not an eight year old. I've heard plenty of stoners have purely hypothetical conversations. Yeah, who cares about facts, it could happen man.

A better way to approach the topic rather than using hypothetical situations would be to go on bnet, join channels and find said players. Arrange a match.

If it's entertaining or the results surprise you, replicate the results through a streamed event, youtube etc. Show a sponsor the interest it garners or the community in general how fun these games are to watch.

Then host your said charity event. It is a shitload easier to sit on your chair, bong in hand discussing pipe dreams than it is to put in the effort and get it done. I'm lazy so I'll leave it to you to see your dream come true. Until then, it's a hypothetical situation that belongs in a phil101 course or somewhere in a hazy room in Vancouver.

I spent time writing my post and I wanted to hear other people's jokes/puns. I would never have expected my thread to be closed.

not the OP but if you simply look at the poll you can see that a fair number of people agree with the OP and its a topic that should be discussed so GOM can have better feedback and in all honesty thats not going to happen as well on the GOM forum

Also the reason given was Don't open a thread based on percentage estimates further based on stuff your roommates told you.

by Chill when the community results were favoring that his argument was true

My post was very clear. You need a basis for opening a thread. His basis was "my friends told me other casters are better". That isn't enough.

So there is a thread that doesn't hurt anybody, is enjoyed by many (view post rate) and doesn't get over the top and it is just closed!? and the mod who closes it just writes:

Harem: "[...] bad and unfunny threads where people just keep listing stuff"

unfunny is highly subjective - taken into account the rapid growth of answers and people joining the fun it can't be that unfunny.

"where people just keep listing stuff" - that was the point to have fun together? how can you not join without "listing stuff"?

So I am shocked how Mods can close a thread just because of their personal opinion O_O I'm sure other mods find this subjectively funny. Plz re-open it for those who enjoy :/ or move it to blogs maybe? plz tell me how Harem can close this just because he thinks it's unfunny

Quotes from people:
10/10 would read again XD so le funny

Lol not bad. 8 out of 10 stars

Generally, threads where people just list mindless jokes that doesn't promote thoughtful discussion are not encouraged. Some older ones have stayed alive, but mods likely don't really want the forums to be cluttered with things like this.

It's a stupid joke thread. We always close those. Popular opinion doesn't rule here, so it doesn't matter if people laughed at it.

I randomly stumbled upon this thread, and the your mom joke thread. It did give me the lulz.

Err... so why are other threads like the "post a pic of you and your boy/girlfriend" and "SFW pictures" allowed? I feel they have, comparatively, the same value. (OFC I'm not advocating closing them in anyway, cept the former does make me feel FOREVER ALOOONE T_T)

Most of us feel they have more value though, that's why they stay open.

Chill said he closed the thread because it had a bad OP. However, I talked with the person who posted it, and from what he tells me, the information is fairly reliable. Might I receive an elaboration as to what caused the thread to be locked? What was it lacking?

If you read the rest of the thread, the assumption of the original post does not necessarily follow from the information presented in the conference call.

For people confused about the call... Diablo 3 has been confirmed for this year, aiming for a Q2 release. Of the remaining two titles, Mists of Pandaria will either come out this year or Blizzard will lose millions more WoW players. Anyone who has played WoW before knows it's simply not possible to run the same raid for over a year (which is what would happen if Mists of Pandaria isn't released in Q2/Q3 of this year).

So yes, while they don't specifically say "HOTS won't be out this year" it's very obvious that HOTS is the third wheel here. It could be released in 2012 but as of today they don't anticipate it.

This, and some other stuff he's told me via PMs. Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but it feels to be (as of the conference call) reasonably accurate.
