I just made a thread completely ripping sony apart and it got locked, is that normal?

Though I wasn't who locked it, and it's a bit odd that it never got beyond the OP, I can see why it ended up there. Much of it is not based on a solid foundation, rather, what appears to be an arbitrary way to pit one company against the other. In other words, it was bound to be a toxic scene and locking it actually did you more of a favor.

Yeah that's understandable. I'm actually a fan of PS anyway, I was just pointing something out. But you're right, the amount of Nintendo fans on here it would have been poisonous lol. It's not like it would have sparked interesting debate without crazy derailment.

Do mods have the ability to edit posts?

Obviously, you know we do.

I'm hungover so can't think as straightfoward as I normally do.  Now that you mention it obviously you to because it means you can leave the mod posts.  So with this in mind id like to make a complaint.  

 

I posted "congrats on getting the thread" on the psnation thread to VGPolyglot. A genuine message.  It's been edited to "congrats on getting the thread I guess" which makes it sound like I'm bitter.  This is not good.

Just make sure it doesn't go the other way and people just post articles without any context at all. It should be a rule to have the important content within the thread without being forced to click on a link.

If you cannot get context for the thread within the opening post without clicking on a link or watching a video it should be locked. We already had a good amount of bait or spin threads that lead to confusion and false accusations just because the context for the thread title was hidden within the linked article and not the thread.

Case in point.

"OMG so much new information that you have to see!!!!!"

Posts a 20 minute video and says nothing about it. That is an absolute trash quality thread.

This alone sheds a lot of potential light on the subject

Can somebody check that post of mine and let me know if it's been edited?

Now that some time has passed, has the deliberation of the mod team concluded on whether they support the slaughter of million of Jews, Roma and politcal prisoners or not?
I for one don't think it's a difficult position to discuss but I gave the mod team some time.

You can get moderated but not banned? I don't understand.

To follow on from RolStoppable's queries I'd like to ask why people aren't get moderated for pointing out a thread is a troll thread like he just said. This ir against the rules. There is a report feature for a reason. I'm sure you have your hands full with Rol and vivster but when you get to the bottom of all that get back to me!
