No, he didn't deserve to be sacked. Also for those saying that he broke the rule and hence deserved to be sacked, you should all realise that this forum also has rules but I'm sure everyone has broken them ounce or twice.

It's also a very stupid rule...

I too believe that obeying the terms and conditions of an internet forum are akin to honoring the terms of an employment contract, and know that the consequences of breach are the same. I also believe that making public comments that can - and in the internet age will - be taken by some as indicative of my employer's official position without my employer's authority or knowledge qualifies as a mere "whoopsie," and I know that the vast majority of mid-sized and larger companies in the world do not have nearly identical rules in place for thier employees.

No way! Forums arent a form of employment and theres no money involved. If VGchartz considers me an employee, I resign!
