AllAll never said anything about mods trolling, he speaks about there being a double standard, and that mods like Benkenobi and Shams are letting Nintendo fans get away with more. this stament is somewhat true. For example, in the Lair review thread Kilzone3 was banned for making a comment about Wii fans; however, there was a quite few post making fun of PS3 fans, yet none of them were banned. Also, the pics didn't help neither. Posting pictures like that does nothing but aggrevate people, and the mods should have put a end to it quickly. The pictures served no purpose to the thread and could be considered spamming, trolling and just being rude. |
No offense but you really don't seem to know what you're talking about.
For starters KZ3 was hardly a first, second, third, fourth, or even fifth time offender he has been posting flamebait for a very long time and this ban was a long time coming. So there is more than good reason for him being the only one banned.
Secondly the mods have never once claimed to not have opinions. They are people like you and I who come to the site to discuss video games. The only difference is ioi has asked them to help keep it civil. They are allowed to make their views known. Once again I feel I should point out the trolling is not just posting a viewpoint contrary to what everyone in the thread is saying. You are allowed to post a different view thats not the issue. Its when you do it for the sole purpose of pissing people off and by insulting and mocking people or just plain being rude when its uncalled for.
Finally, AllAll has pretty much spent his time on this site whining and complaining about mods for the exact reasons I just detailed. If you read the threads I was talking about above you will see that he was being rude, insulting, and in general disruptive. Hardly the way to go about making a change in policy...don't you think?
Like I said before the pictures weren't called for but they weren't exactly over the top considering the tone of the thread. Anyone who had an issue with them should of posted to that effect. This site is about having a good time and those pictures while poking fun at the expense of the game, weren't targeted at anybody and hardly constitute a ban worthy offense. People getting upset over the pictures is actually more over the top than the pictures themselves imho.
