Would you count making these topics invisible to anyone with less than for example 50 posts as open? |
I detest the idea that post count should determine access to any thread. Someone might be a member for a long time but not post very often. I am fine with NPD threads being closed to any lurkers and anyone currently on a ban, which then includes Gaffers hopping on here to look at the thread and going back to Gaf to bitch some more about VGC. It also includes not putting sales nujmbers in the title, relative position is OK. I'm also in favour of a ban on anyone (from now on) trash talking any Gaffers in the NPD thread. While I don't agree with placing significant restrictions on VGC members being able to see the NPD numbers and talk about them, any trash talk about Gaffers, esp the leakers, is biting the hand that feeds. And even if lurkers can't access the thread it's still bad form to talk shit about people who can't defend themselves directly.
