I still have to check the other thread, but apparently OP has no right to call for sensibility.

However, I do think he has a post. Video Games forums as part of the interwebz has a very low level of debate, and most of the time it's childish arguments trying to prove that mine is bigger than yours. Sometimes it does involve women (so it's not a gender thing)

I remember a situation, can't say who it was, because I really can't remember who it was, but he said that Nintendo fans usually won the debates because, around VGC, they had a lot of older members so they knew better how to debate. My mind was blown ever since that phrase.

And, what Nikkom said.

I agree, but if you compare VGChartz with most other video game communities (say N4G or IGN *shudder*) I think you'll find our community is still a lot more mature. Partly due to experinced users and partly due to our relatively strict moderation system. The level of debate on VGChartz is relatively high, although it most definately still is higher on NeoGAF^^

Fair enough. But, I think that NeoGaf and VGC are pretty similar in terms of Stupidity/Interesting Debate ratio. The only thing is that they tend to use more tech stuff, that are not very firendly with people that have no clue with hardware specs. But the points brought to debate are pretty much the same.
