i think user's have become to sensitive. this holiday season went off without any real problems from what i've seen. the only trolling i see is of the Vita, and that's in small volumes.

See, this is a pretty silly thing to say. How could you presume that there is only trolling of vita? How??

It's a video game forum and you assume and think the vita is the only console trolled, in the midst of a U launch, while Nintendo stocks are at a year low, when the PS3 beat the 360 in sales, when Halo itself outsold the PS3 games released this year (as an example), you consider the Vita the only console trolled?

How is that logical.

maybe cause i don't post in ever forum on the site. i can only speak for the threads i've been in. i've been in most all Wiiu, 3DS, Vita, and PS3 threads. i think you're taking strong opinion as trolling.

Shit! If you guys knew how many times I go through my posts to fix autofill or touch screen problems. On top of that it is not like I can just easily go to tootle on my cell to see if a word is spelled right. Its a new world. No American gives a Shit about the English language. Just like no one gives a Shit about trolls. If everyone agreed with everything life would be boring and easy. There would be no need for elections or multiple home Televisions. Because everyone agrees.


Just because you disagree doesn't mean you have to be a troll. If you feel that the only way you can express yourself is through trolling, then you are a shitty person who doesn't deserve to live (my opinion).

What makes you think that?

I don't either post on every forum of the site, but it's a very silly thought to say only the vita gets trolled here, I'm terribly sorry. No matter how you slice it that is a very silly idea you had.

Like I said, it's a video game forum. The U JUST launched, and I mentioned a slew of other things you didn't respond to. Take the time, think for a second, and try to address the points I brought up. Here, I'll underline them for you.



Personally I'm fine with the way things are because I enjoy the sarcastic posts / threads and the hilarity that usually ensues. I don't want to go back to the days where saying one little negative thing about a particular game or company got you banned for days or even weeks at a time.

There should be zero tolerance for blatant trolling and spamming of course.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Well what I mean is stop being lenient on poor posts. Currently they can be found in any thread on VGC and they add nothing. That's not a bad thing in a casual forum but it means the discussion gets buried.

Maybe create a Serious Discussion forum with higher standards? And you can get banned from posting on that board specifically if post quality is not high enough (but I'm not talking a high bar here). Sales Discussion could be that board actually.


What do you mean by poor posts? Do you mean empty posts? These posts don't stifle discussion. If these people couldn't post empty posts, then they wouldn't post at all. And they aren't stopping other people from having meaningful discussion. If other people want to have a discussion, then they'll have a discussion. Empty posts aren't going to change that. And removing empty posts aren't going to increase discussion (my opinion).

There are too many thin skinned d people on this site. Me included. Everyone has thin skin for something different. Database, numbers, Sony heaters, trolling, slamming, spelling (jay520), certain members, Reggie, Sony CEO guy, etc.

That is what this thread should really be called. Neogaf is just a few doors down. Go knock on its door. They don't have any of these problems ....

Why is it that when anyone complains with the site and asks to stay here but asks for something better, you always give the option of "Status Quo, or Gaf the fuck out"

It's such a miserable attitude, in that we can never ask for remedy, we're basically fucked with trolls and there's no way out of it.

Yes, indeed there are too many thin-skinned folks here, I included (I the worst), and sure we could make a seperate thread about that or even talk about that here I don't care. But what is important is that, whether the issue is trolling, thin-skinned attitudes and/or both, that they get addressed.

Would you agree or do you want all the shit to stay as is and have committed members suffer because of it?

What a poor response to criticism.

"If you don't like it, GET OUT!"

nice





We will get to you as soon as possible.

OT: I don't see how it is a problem. If you give the trolls attention, you give them the power. Doesn't matter who's right or wrong. 

As a matter of fact, you're only contributing to the problem with this thread and me with this reply.

I nominate happydolphin, condegamer and Carl as new mode.

The old guard is hardly here anymore. Dump them and truly rejuvenate the mod team. If they are not here then why are they mode? Checking in once every month just to keep their position of power.

Can you spell properly spurgeon, I know you're smart. Why are you doing this to the forum? Why are you fucking this place up with your shitty posts, I know you're able of more...

THIS is what I'm talking about. There is little effort to make this place right. You're spitting on the convos.


was that even called for? answer. hell no!!!!!! insults are not needed.

Where did I insult anyone in that post. Hey, just bold it even, I'm curious.

insult in bold.

I was unclear and you misread that. Ryan is my friend, I know he is intelligent, I said so in the post. He is not shitty, he is not fucky, it's the site that's getting fucked (e.g. sabotaged) because of his shitty (read "zero-effort") posts. I'm basically asking him to serve the site with his talents rather than spitting on it with typos everywhere and barely legible posts. (He does that)
