This isn't directed at anyone in particular.

when you have a thread that is making comparisons in performance and power between the 2 consoles, it will ALWAYS attract both sides. this thread isnt just about the xbox, its about what it may have that could make it match or pass the PS4 in power. That will naturally make sony fans want to join in. This site is about comparing sales figures, and part of that is the differences between them, including power.

If you don't like an opposing side to the argument, go to a dedicated fan board or put it in the XB/ps nation thread. When you make a new thread, its an invitation to the whole community to come and discuss the topic. If you see a thread already made and want to discuss it without the other side, you can always bring it up in XB/PS nation thread, in a private message, or on a chat program.

why fill these threads with bitching about the other side for having replied and voicing an opinion? it gets you no where and derails the topic. rebut the opinion, not the fact that they posted.

Because it's against the forum rules.  See below (italics mine):

Spamming. Spam, or multiple short replies in a row without any substance, is not allowed. Explain and justify your opinions. If you have nothing to add to a topic, then go to another topic and post in there instead. Similarly, even if it's well defended, repeating your opinion about a console or game multiple times is also spamming.

Flamebait and trolling. Posts or signatures slamming a particular platform without basis - be it a specific console, macs, windows, or anything similar - will not be tolerated. This applies to specific games as well as consoles.

  • You always have the right to express your opinion, as long as it is relevant to the thread topic, and you do so in a civil manner, justifying what you say. If you want to discuss something other than the thread topic, make your own thread.
  • The forums are here for gamers of all persuasions, so unless you're in a thread specifically geared towards platform comparison/discussion, keep your anti-platform comments out of the thread. Note that there is a difference between having a reasonable argument in the correct thread and trolling.
  • Similarly, do not create threads, posts or signatures just to bait people of a specific fan group. Bait threads will be locked and you will be moderated for them. If you spend a lot of time making hit-and-run negative threads or posts about a specific platform you will also be moderated at the discretion of the moderators.
