Alex Garfield gets to make a thread with his opinion on the PPV issue because he's the owner of EG.
Not everyone on TL is granted that option. Normally posts like that should go in the thread where these issues are being discussed.Last edit: 2012-02-15 17:45:12 |

That is the original topic I created. A bit upset, to find out Zatic has closed it.
I have said many times there that it was not a balance thread. I simply wanted to see different people's reactions. That is all.
Why is it that when a topic is not the highest and highest of standards, it gets closed? I know TL has standards and high quality, but what is wrong with my thread? If it was a balance discussion/whine thread, please, feel free to close it and ban me. However - it was not. It was to see the varieties many different Terrans face fighting Protoss. Some struggled with bio, some mech. What is wrong with this?
I apologize for making a worthless and stupid thread, then. I seriously cannot see the bad in that. Let me say again it was not a balance thread. I wanted to see different people's reactions.
If this keeps going I am sure not many will want to post on TL.
Please, I am open to criticism. I would love to hear why it was closed.
Thank you.
This was copy pasted from other subforum. I just wanted to post this here. No matter what zatic wont change his mind right?
Edit: And if you think the thread should be closed, how come no other mods closed it? Are you most active on the strategy forum? If I remember correctly the mods in strategy section are very active, yet they never closed my thread....?Last edit: 2012-02-16 23:06:49 |

You can not simply preface your thread with "This is not a balance thread", and then continue with 5 paragraphs of TvP balance complaints, and asking for people's reaction. That is exactly what makes a balance thread.
As I have told you in PM, even if that wasn't the case, a thread "TvP in general" is way too generic to allow meaningful strategic discussion.
Yes, I am probably the most active mod in the Strategy section. |

Your thread, in a nutshell, was "TvP lategame is hard, what do you think?". The other thread you linked is "I have problems going mech against a broodlord/infestor composition".
Your post is 50% concealed balance whine and 50% "general discussion about TvP" which incites everyone to a) concur with you/argue with you on the balance issue or b) post whatever they want because the topic isn't specific in any way. Besides, what's the point in opening a discussion about the problem ("why is TvP so hard") when it would be really useful to ask for specific advice ("What do I do against composition X/playstyle Y in TvP"). The first results in everyone complaining, the second one usually provides productive results.
Threads along the lines of "X is bad" / "Y is hard" / "Z should be changed" are frowned upon for that exact reason. If you want a thread like this to stay open, you need to put real effort into it. Example.Last edit: 2012-02-17 11:40:23 |

Did you look at the link he provided as an example of a thread with effort that would stay open? Because if you did you would realize that in fact you didnt put that much effort in - in comparison at least. Balance whine threads are so annoying, its a good thing they get closed. |

While him making a statement about effort isn't appropriate, I do agree with everything else he said. Your thread was phrased in such a way to incite balance discussion whereas the one you link was "i've gone mech vs zerg, how do I beat broodlords?" which is perfectly legitimate. |

This isnt asking for an unlock
http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=317094
Did i do something wrong by not streaming my news thru my twitch.tv account?
Im not affiliated with anyone at the moment except the fact i am part of Eve Uni on Eve online and when i play starcraft II i like to spend my time between matches conversing with other gaming enthusiasts on the Team Liquid public channel and teamspeak.
If there is something i've not done yet or forgotten to do please tell me :| and is there a way i can become a team liquid caster instead of being independant like i am at the moment?
the reason i uploaded this to youtube as my ISP currently cannot support 1080p live streaming or 720p for that matter is there a portal for TL members to upload video content or is what im doing deemed outside of the envelope in that regards. |

If you're not asking for an unlock or the reasons for a lock, then this is the wrong place to ask. Also, I'm not really sure what your actual question is as your post seems a bit ... off. Afaik there are no such things as "team liquid casters". If you're referring to streaming on / via TL, then you have to set up a stream with a site of your choice (Twitch is one example) and create a thread for your stream here on TL (General SC2 forum, I think, but not sure there as I'm not streaming myself. This is for StarCraft streams, obviously. Should you mainly stream non-SC related content then I'm not sure you'll get your stream running here on TL without issues).
Should you want to stream regardless of your ISP's limits then 480 should be alright too, as long as the content is fine. Just give it a try.
As for the "TL member video portal", there's no such thing. Doesn't mean you can't do your thing with recorded videos on Youtube or elsewhere, though. Set up a thread (or better: a blog for the start), explain what you want to do and then just fire away. Just don't present it the way you did in that initial post as that's against the guidelines.Last edit: 2012-03-02 20:04:53 |

also to be fair it wasn't my first blog on team liquid i also did a blog covering an SC2 patch before i had the equipment to cast so it was a bit of a wall of text that i tried to make interesting
, Yes i am a registered caster yes i would like to know why it was locked most of my footage so far has been an even spread across several games LoL EvE Online iRacing and Starcraft II where as this was my second serious attempt at uploading stuff to youtube for 1080p and really desired feedback from the gaming community at large including starcraft II players |

I'm not a mod, but it appears to me your posts are most clearly primarily self promotion, which is not permitted on teamliquid. Posts on teamliquid must be deemed to be overall good for the forum, site, and community, which your post didn't really do. Your ID is your site and your video has nothing to do with SC/SC2, and is literally just a plea for attention. Promoting your own videos and events would be better suited for http://reddit.com/r/starcraft . |

Thankyou pokebunny for being upfront, upon reading your post i did a little "re-reading" of some of my posting on TL and i grudgingly would have to agree with you my community-contributing posts could probably using some editing. from now on i will
a) read my post before i submit
b) dont just read through all the interesting forum stuff without trying to leave something constructive for the community to debate/discuss and
c)keep all non sc2 related content to myself in regards to Team-Liquid forums
is there the possibilty at getting my name converted to my player tag or a varient of, i ran with the 5th div title on a whim and would really prefer to be just like everyone else... or would i be better of starting a fresh forum account so as not to make things difficult |

Thread sort of derailed from the looks of it, perhaps the OP was a little bit too inflammatory
I am no mod though, there was just a lot of silliness in there, looked a little bit like bnet 0.o |

I thought it was a good thread with some good discussion, it just got derailed pretty hard.
also maybe pick a less sensational title.Last edit: 2012-03-04 18:42:18 |
