"ok NA seems finally settled. Japan will taper off due to shrinking console market. Just down to pesky Sony zealots in Europe to cool it down lol

User was moderated for this post - Conegamer"

Meanwhile, user Turkish, a regular in the forums, has this signature:

I got banned for this seemingly normal post, only that the word "zealot" was worth the ban. This isn't the first time I came across users with religious references and I do not like censoring myself when it is being done by others, namely the very fans I am referring to.

I do not think assusing someone of having unwavering devotion and loyalty to their console/corproation is any different then a soccer fan of their favourite team at the world cup. People worship things in their own way. This is not immediately negative to call someone out on their loyalties and them placing a product/corporation on a pedestal above what they really are.

Sales, I'm going to take a guess here but I don't think it was the religious connotations of your post by itself but the included "peksy" modifier that generated user ire that led to the ban.

I didn't realize that the word "pesky" was a ban worthy word. Also I wasn't even referring to anybody in particular. I have been banned for religious references before so this strikes me as "trigger happy" either way.
