I hate shills because they're pretending to be friendly in order to try to sell products. I don't care who shills shill for: Nintendo, Sony, MS, Axe, Maxim, whatever. I despise them because I am a die-hard fan of honesty and the act of shilling is one of the most dishonest imaginable.

They pretend to be someone's friend in the hopes that they can leverage that friendship into convincing them to buy a product.

It's like a woman who convinces you that she loves you and offers herself sexually because she knows you have money.

They both want your money, but the shill isn't offering you sex in return. I don't tolerate either.

Also, I've dealt with many, MANY shills on other message boards (some of which I've admin/modded for): you can generally tell they're shills by how immensely defensive they become as soon as they're accused.

I am a Nintendo fan, but I call a lot of the Wii nonsense as BS.

35 million Wii units in 5 years? Uh, no.

Underpowered? It slows down in 2 player Wii boxing. Yes.

Living off of minigames and tech demos? Again, definitely.

But promising? Yeah, I have to give it that too.

I hate Shills too, Smash. I hate them in their ugly stupid faces; I wish I could hate them to death; but I don't think they should be banned.

It's like being a total jerk in real real life. I hate it, and wouldn't want to be around someone who's a huge jerk. I also think it's totally legal. Totally legal, just not very nice.

So too, Shills make posts I tend to ignore, and I don't have much interest in them. But I don't think that's cause for a banninatin'. Just my opinion :x

 

<3 to all
