There are too many trolls

I'm sad to say guys, but it looks like the threads are getting submerged with trolling and fanboyism and I've been finding it very difficult to actual have meaningful debate in the threads of late.

Is there a solution to this, mod team? Users?

I'm pretty discouraged.

The Nintendo forum has been really bogged down with troll threads lately.  I know the Wii U just released but it's getting really bad.  Mr.Khan had to lock an obvious bait thread created by WindyCityHeat today. 

VGC is turning into N4G and it really needs to stop or I won't be participating on these boards anymore.

The same thing happened on the 360 boards with Kinect threads, it effectively drove most of the fanbase who just wanted reasonable discussion away from the site.  Many of us complained to the mods at the time but they just didn't give a toss and now you're left with a void where the 360 fanbase used to be on the site.  The new mod team seem a lot more balanced though so hopefully they'll stay on top of things and stop the trolling.  I really don't get the criticism of the Wii U as it's not until we have post xmas adjustments and the full shipments figures that we can make any sort of reasonable analysis on it's performance.  The same has to be said with the Vita as we all know it's unlikely this site will have got all the numbers spot on and there will be big adjustements as usual in January.
