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.
