@Carl, what part of pezus' post is a lie? Because Kowenickis thread was definitly lock worthy as flamebait. However, the more simple and happier solution would to have just eduted the title


kow wasnt banned for the thread, kow was banned for this post in the thread.

And no, the thread wasnt flamebait. It was a legit question. In the OP he even said it may or may not be an issue and asked someone who could speak French to clarify what was going on. If people see that as flamebait, just because it was kow who posted it, then they seriously need to step away from teh console warz for a week or two and take a long look in the mirror.

And the thread was actually locked because of the conversation in the thread itself. Not because of the OP.

His post in the thread that stemmed from his flamebait thread. Therefore he was indirectly banned for the thread.

Being legit and flamebait isnt exclusive to each other. Hypothetically, I could make a thread and ask why X1 is a shitty console and it be a legit question (yes, its exaggerated to highlight my point and no one would dare say thats not flamebait).  Second sentance in your second paragraph defines exactly why it was flamebait. A. thread title states issue with Ps4 hardware. B. OP doesn't know what was said in the video and asks for translation (how did he decide on the title if he doesnt know the contents of his OP). C. states in OP most likely SW bug (but then why say HW issue in title?) Pure and simple flamebait. Text book example.

Locked because of the conversation in the thread due to it being flamebait.
