Do any of these threads ever do? It's a donut hole in moderation, however, as the subject is legitimate enough to discuss (so we can't just summarily lock these threads), while the trolling that goes on is usually mild enough to pass muster, so we just have to leave them until the thread either dies off on its own or grows out of control at such a rate that it has to be shut down before mass bannings ensue They are, in short, very annoying. I have advocated to other mods that there should be one "graphics" thread per console, to at least keep it contained, but some mods are opposed to omnibus threads (i myself take issue with omnibus threads, but feel they would work in this case, since what gets said in each thread ends up being the same thing over and over again, as opposed to massive threads like Nintendomination or the Vita Thread, where news is so sprawling that its impossible to keep a fixed conversation going) |
It can get annoying with a new post about the same thing every other day..especially when people are trying to re-enforce their own agenda.... but I have to admit I am not a big fan of a single post that has thousands of posts in it, and then people just change the heading. It gets really difficult to follow a thread that way @_@
I think threads like this one is cool because its based on a particular bit of news... rather than just another rumour.
But yeah, the threads usually end up the same way. Guess it's one of the challenges (fun???) of forums.
