The over-moderation of this board is absolutely absurd at times.  I've been banned for very similar things in very ridiculous context.  Basically, if a MOD doesn't agree with your viewpoint and it butthurts him/her you'll end up with a moderation. 

You serious? I stated my viewpoint hundreads of time without any problem. Im sure its more about being in relation to the topic at hand as well as state your viewpoint in a respectuous manner. His prediction in that specific thread only served to derail the topic to "Xbox loosing another exclusive confirmed".

The problem is, plenty of posts go on and off topic throughout a post.  You need to be loose in the interpretation of this because quite honestly message boards exist for communication.   Conversations will evolve, grow and change often times into something much different then where it began. 

Like I said, there is a clear assumption of guilty before being proven as such.  Which is a little absurd.  A simple warning would suffice for most people.  Bringing out the ban hammer because a mod doesn't like what you have to say is a tad ridiculous.

But he was only warned no? In any case, I dont think MODs have any problem with discussion evolving to something else. It happens all the time in many threads. The topic the OP posted in was "EA: Mass effect 2 sold 1.6 Million (PC Xbox 360 sales) - poor PC sales??". Obviously, saying "PS3 release confirmed" in this thread show a lack of tact. I wouldnt agree with a ban but I fail to see the problem with the warning.
