rofl. why do you even have to come in here and say anything then?
seems redundant to me, why come and be a dickbag in someones thread celebrating their achievement.
just don't post, because noone cares what crap you have to throw around mate.
I'm just stating out my opinion in a public forum, i remember sudragon or someone's thread getting closed for a GM thread
i just dont get why both are similar threads yet have TOTALLY different opinions. 1 is YOUR BRAGGING, the other is CONGRATULATIONS.
that was a self promotion thread though by from what i read someone who cheesed his way to gm and was there early in the season. This was a friend saying congratulations to him which is why its ok. It's pretty much is the thread hurting anyone or being a douche? no then fine if people are enjoying the content and someone is happy and proud of their achievement why would you close that? compared to someone bragging (maybe a troll taken the wrong way) that people seem to be getting angry in and could make some bad blood in the community should we shut it down?
Basically the moderators are trying to keep this environment nice and friendly. Thankfully the rest of the community wants to too as you can tell from the rep system which generally works

Fair enough.
What my main point is(maybe i didnt stated it clear enough) is that this type of thread would generally be in Blogs? Or just personally congratulate him online or something. Is is REALLY necessary to create a thread to congratulate him on sc2sea? I'm not trying to say that its wrong to congratulate people for achieving their goals but if everyone follows him and just post a thread for everyone that promotes to master/gm/whatever their goals are, they would be full of this type of threads.

yea I get what you mean probably the way you stated it got people angry though . I think blog is more a personally thing though which is why a thread got created. Also I don't think all threads need to be super serious. For example there's threads like this which are happy and proud of ours players for doing something and letting people have a bit of fun. If you had every thread as something super serious people would get bored of reading them and would come here less often.
It's like the Dox announcement of announcement thread. I loved that. That had me checking for ages trying to figure it out (well really checking what miles had figured out). Like I get why you think its not thread worthy its not huge news but that's also what's the spotlight section is for.
