I mean the best posters here on this site are the ones with infinite derailing unpunished troll modprotected powers.. with the others respecting the first poster when one of them posts and then try to top that derailing unpunished troll modprotected post with their own derailing unpunished troll modprotected post.. |
lol good post xD
But really it isnt that often. I think negative comments may be viewed as derailment sometimes, but those are just opinions.
I would say something that is completely off topic or something off topic just to stir shit up.
Example that has happened often is Xbox Live and PSN.
Topic - PSN Gets Cross Game Chat
User 1 - Doesnt matter, Xbox Live is still way better
It isnt talking about Xbox live or which one is better. I would consider that off topic just to stir shit up. Certain things people say are just inevitable to cause an argument. Specifically when it comes to bringing up a different platform just to prove it is better or to downplay something.
or
Topic - Xbox One is coming out November 22
User 1 - Your posts are irrelevant because of this reason and that reason. This is what you should do because I dont like how you post
Here it has nothing to do with the topic and just goes straight into calling out the user to criticize their posting style when that is the mods job to do. Also derailment
I would say there is multiple ways of derailing a thread but the two above are the ones im primarily talking about.
