I've been banned twice, both times involved overly sensitive Nintendo fans and one of those times involved an overly sensitive Nintendo fan who also just happened to be a mod. It's a weird thing with this site, it doesn't matter if your arguments are reasonable, if they hurt the feelings of the majority (in regards to the thread being posted in) then the minority (the controversial poster) will be the one to take the hit. The thread then goes on about how much these developers/fans/analyst/writers/reviewers suck without backing them up with well thought arguments or without any restraint on who they are offending (offending is a bit strong).

When posts like 'HD fanboys are jealous of the Wii and third parties are trying to destroy Nintendo!!!' are repeated by twenty different posters in a thread and then someone comes along and disagrees with that notion and actually provides an explanation, you'd think the angry one liners would be the ones being told off.

Debating on this site always ends up being a risk, because no matter how right you may be or how well thought your argument is, if it offends some 'group' of fans, you bet your ass your gonna get banned. It's one of the main reasons why I don't post anywhere near as much as I used to.

I try not to do too many arguments on either side because I am afraid of that happening as well. A couple weeks back I had a simple comment on an article voted down because it was not tottally for the side that the majority was on in the article!

just avoid getting passionate about the argument and you'll never have to worry about saying something mod worthy.

its funny 90% of everyone i've debated is now on my friends list while one is permabanned but thats do to his own doing and i think his account has been deleted.

the arguement spilled out of the thread and on to my wall post, and he got mad all because i said i didn't care about my predictions lol. wht a waste.

Now that's not really true. Back in 2009 I was very passionate in the forums with my opinion. I did a bit of mud slinging actually and i'm rather surprised I never even got a warning for it. (I can think of one thread in particular)

But now i've cooled off lately for the most part and generally try to debate stuff more reasonably if I can be bothered with it.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
