So are we allowed to make troll threads now?

I guess being a long time VGChartz user means you don't have to follow the rules.

Actually, it's in the rules. Rule 2 to be precise.

New Users. Because new users have not yet shown a commitment to civil discourse, moderators will look more harshly upon them (and upon prolific rule-breakers) than established users with relatively clear moderation histories. If you are a long-time member of the site, it is easy to tell the difference between a light-hearted, humorous post, and a genuine piece of flamebait. This distinction is far less clear when you are a new user, so we advise caution.

 

Trust me when I say that it is impossible to judge all people based on equal criteria because either you allow through every troll post and thread ever made, or you completely ban all forms of humour. Can you please explain what is wrong with this system without bringing in individual examples with which you are personally involved?

What's wrong with the system? What's wrong is that Rol and Gal are clearly attacking the "unbiased review" thing that Jaywood runs and mods overlook it as if he is being sarcastic and is joking around. Sure you might thing it's just sarcasm but what about Jay who has worked hard to build up a userbase who put up reviews for people to read or what about the reviewers who are being mocked and laughed at because they put the hard work into writing a review which people can choose to read or not. It's not funny unless everyone is laughing. Yeah I understand that our reviews are obviously not "unbiased" but we do our best to not praise/hate on a game because it's made by a certain developer or it's from a certain franchise, I don't need someone to tell me that our reviews are somewhat biased when it's obvious. This really irritates me.
