The bans in Jaywood's thread are laudable

Well the mods need to be prepared. This set a very bad(good?) precedent.

Posters were not allowed to stray even the slightest bit off topic....and then were immediately banned.

I don't think the mods thought it through properly, they are playing a dangerous game.

A thread with a topic such as that need not go off topic. It is there to inform Xbox owners of good deals for Xbox Live. Well known PlayStation fans strolling in saying it should be free is bad for the thread and every single one of them deserved the ban.

Good, strong moderation at its finest.

I agree but this type of moderation is a first and will need to be maintained otherwise its a bad joke.

Edit: I also noticed that the banning was more for being off topic than trolling. In that case anything off topic needed to go. Which was not the case really. Some people came in just to comment on the banning and actually flamed the situation (flaming) but were not banned.
